Crooked Face Creamery, an artisan creamery based in Skowhegan, has received global recognition at the 37th annual World Cheese Awards in Switzerland.
They took home a Super Gold award for its Plain Whole Milk Ricotta and a Bronze award for its Applewood Smoked Ricotta.
The World Cheese Awards is the largest and most prestigious cheese-only competition in the world. 5,244 cheeses from 46 countries were judged by a panel of 265 international cheese experts.
The Super Gold award is one of the competition’s highest honors, designating a cheese as one of the best in the world.
Crooked Face’s founder, Amy Rowbottom, said:
For our small creamery in Skowhegan, Maine, to be recognized on the world stage, surrounded by centuries-old traditions, is a testament to the power of hard work and a deep love for this way of life. Being awarded Super Gold and Bronze at this year’s World Cheese Awards is a moment I will never forget. When I look at this award, I see not only the quality of our cheese and thousands of batches it’s taken to get here, but the quality of the people who make it all possible.
