Roth Käse USA Specialties Capture 4 Top Honors 

at 2006 American Cheese Society Competition

                                  

MONROE, Wisconsin—Roth Käse’s expertise in making exquisite, consistent specialty cheeses captured four awards at the 23rd annual American Cheese Society Competition, held July 21st in Portland, Ore.

The Roth Käse winners are: 

Award            Roth Käse Winner            Category                                                    

1st Place         GranQueso                 Hispanic and Portuguese Style Cheeses

2nd Place         MezzaLuna Fontina     Italian Type Cheeses

2nd Place         St. Otho’s                   Low Fat/Low Salt Cheeses

3rd Place          Raclette                    American Made/International Style

This is the third consecutive year that Roth Käse’s GranQueso has claimed 1st Place in its category at the ACS Awards, after taking its second consecutive Gold at this year’s World Cheese Awards in June. Says Roth Käse CEO Fermo Jaeckle, “GranQueso is now one of our most decorated cheeses, with seven top honors to its credit. It won its award—a 1st Place at the 2004 ACS Awards—in its first year of production.”   “GranQueso is truly an original, unique creation for us, and is becoming one of our most popular cheeses. It joins our Grand Cru Gruyère and MezzaLuna Fontina as the cheeses we are the most proud of,” he adds.

And of MezzaLuna Fontina, Jaeckle thinks “it is just one of the best cheeses we make.” Why?  “The flavor is outstanding, and it is a very versatile melting and snacking cheese,” he says.

To date, Roth Käse has earned more than 100 critically acclaimed awards in local, regional, national, and international cheese competitions. 

Roth Käse cheeses are hand-crafted by master cheesemakers according to traditional techniques. With roots in Switzerland, Roth Käse is now a leading manufacturer and marketer of handcrafted, award-winning specialty cheeses in Monroe, WI, making only the highest quality, best tasting cheeses.
