The highly anticipated U.S. Championship Cheese Contest is set to take place from March 4-6 in Green Bay. This prestigious event brings together cheese makers, judges, and industry professionals from across the country to celebrate excellence in cheese craftsmanship.

The event, open to the public, offers a rare opportunity to witness expert judging firsthand. Attendees can observe the meticulous process of cheese evaluation, where judges assess each entry based on strict criteria. “Cheese is a perishable product, and handling it correctly is key,” Vorphal explained. “From refrigeration to proper labeling, every detail matters."
