Here is a breakdown of the results:
Out of 314 ribbons awarded, the state of Wisconsin scored the most ribbons with 92, California came in second with 45, cheesemakers in the state of Vermont captured 32 ribbons. More than 700 attended this year’s conference, participating in educational seminars on subjects from cheesemaking to the art of maturing cheese.
