This World Champion cheese is the best of our best – handmade in traditional copper vats and aged in our cellars under the careful watch of our cellarmasters. This washed-rind Alpine-style cheese is aged a minimum of 9 months to create a firm texture and complex flavors of caramel, fruit, and mushroom. Grand Cru Surchoix was named the 2016 World Champion, winning among 3,000 entries and marking the first time an American-made cheese won the cheese competition in nearly 3 decades. No domestically produced cheese has achieved such honors since.
