3 We needed 50 of the nation s finest cheese evaluators, hailing from 19 states, to take on explosive growth in the 2017 U.S. Championship Cheese Contest. And they performed perfectly, finding the finest cheese, butter and yogurt among 2,303 entries from 33 states, in two exciting days of judging at Lambeau Field. Any cheesemaker can attest to the fact that it s no small feat to Wisconsin Cheese Makers Association offers its heartiest congratulations to Grand Champion Mike Matucheski of Sartori Company, named Grand Champion for his best-of-show Sartori Reserve Black Pepper BellaVitano. First earning a gold medal in the flavored hard cheese class, the BellaVitano went on to reach an impressive score of in the Championship round. We also congratulate First Runner-Up Terry Lensmire of Agropur for a nearperfect aged Cheddar, and Second Runner-Up Marieke Penterman of Marieke Gouda someone who s becoming a familiar face in the winners circle - for her Marieke Gouda Belegen. Wisconsin earns special mention for sweeping the three trophy spots and topping the medal count among gold, silver and bronze winners. Yet cheesemakers, buttermakers and yogurt-makers in 23 states took home medals in this the largest dairy competition ever held in the United States. We salute all those who sent in their best products for evaluation. Your effort, in pursuit of excellence, builds a better dairy industry. To pull off an event of this scale and size, we rely on the time and talent of hundreds of industry volunteers - our famous B-Team - led by Brian Eggebrecht of Welcome Dairy in Colby, Wis. Our partners at WOW Logistics and Wisconsin Aging & Grading Cheese Inc. are also vital to the contest s success, and we are grateful for their help. We are fortunate to have the leadership of our Chief Judge Robert Aschebrock, Chief Judge Emeritus Bill Schlinsog, and Assistant Chief Judges Tim Czmowski of Agropur, Stan Dietsche of Oshkosh Cold Storage & Cheese Sales, industry consultant Jim Mueller, and Sandy Toney of Masters Gallery Foods. And, special thanks go to WCMA s own Event Manager Kirsten Henning. With 22 percent growth in the number of Contest entries, her organization was key to our seamless event. Finally, we want to express our gratitude for the generosity of our Contest competitors, who this year donated $50,000 worth of cheese, yogurt, and butter to Paul s Pantry of Green Bay. WCMA is honored to host the U.S. Championship Cheese Contest and we encourage you to share your suggestions to make our event even better, year after year.
