The Big Cheese
Stuff We Love
Nov. 4, 2023
The northern Michigan cheese scene leveled up a few more bricks…this time on a global scale. Leelanau Cheese recently won a “Gold” rating for its Aged Raclette (aka the locally beloved Leelanau Reserve) cheese and a “Super Gold” for its Traditional Raclette from the World Cheese Awards. In a post announcing the news, Leelanau Cheese described the international competition as “essentially the Olympics of cheese.” (We would very much like to attend this version of the Olympics, please and thank you!) Of thousands of cheeses entered from all over the world, only 101 received Super Gold ratings in this year’s competition, and just seven of those Super Gold winners came from American cheesemakers. Whey to go, Leelanau Cheese! Turophiles can sample and purchase the award winners at 3324 S W Bay Shore Dr. in Suttons Bay or shop online at leelanaucheese.com.
