Roth Käse takes home NINE more awards

at recent cheesemaker’s competitions

                                  

MONROE, Wisconsin—Between this year’s American Cheese Society Competition and the 2005 Wisconsin State Fair, Roth Käse cheeses captured 9 top awards in the competitive world of cheesemaking.

At the 22nd Annual American Cheese Society Competition, held July 20-24 in Louisville, KY, two of Roth Käse’s fine Hispanic-style cheeses captured repeat First Place honors: GranQueso (second year in a row) and Paniña (a first place ACS winner in 2002).  Lace Käse took a Second Place spot in the Low Fat Category, while Butterkäse and Rofumo wrapped up Third Place berths. 

“This year Roth Käse cheeses brought home five ACS awards, and each year the competition gets tougher” says CEO Fermo Jaeckle. “Winning these awards with cheeses that have won several times before indicates that our constant efforts to improve are paying off with cheeses of ever-higher quality.”

This commitment to quality improvement paid off at this year’s Wisconsin State Fair, too, where Roth Käse won four additional awards: Gruyère Surchoix, Fontiago, and GranQueso and earned Second Place ribbons, while a Third Place award went to Homestead cheese.

Crave Brothers' Farmstead Cheese, a Roth Käse marketing partner from Waterloo, WI took home a first place at the American Cheese Society competition for their Farmer’s Rope, a unique string cheese.  Crave Brothers Mascarpone garnered second place honors at both the Wisconsin State Fair and the American Cheese Society competition. 

To date, Roth Käse has earned more than 100 critically acclaimed awards in local, regional, national, and international competitions. These include a “World Champion”, “Best in Show,” “Best in Class,” and numerous first place awards (visit www.rothkase.com/awards for a listing).
