This is the second time Guggisberg has won the United States Grand Champion title, previously winning it in 2015.

The U.S. contest takes place every other year, alternating with the World Championship Cheese Contest, and was held March 5 and 6 at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin. It is the largest technical evaluation of cheese, butter and yogurt in the country and is considered to be one of the most prestigious of dairy competitions.

This year’s contest was record-breaking with 2,555 submissions from 35 states. The submissions were split into one of 116 classes and then scored on a 100-point scale by a panel of professional judges from within the industry. The three highest-scoring cheeses in each category, judged on flavor and body, were awarded trophies.
