American Cheese Society Winners Quintet
Regular price $115.00 Sale

This year's crop of American Cheese Society winners has arrived! These artisan cheeses all took home ribbons in their respective categories at the 2024 ACS Conference in Buffalo, New York. At Saxelby Cheesemongers, we're proud to work with the finest cheesemakers in America! This award-winning collection features: 

Calderwood - Calderwood is an exclusive collaboration between Saxelby Cheesemongers and Jasper Hill Farm that aims to celebrate how the diet of a cow affects the cheese it produces. Coated with hay from the pastures surrounding Jasper Hill, Calderwood provides a true taste of place. 

Camembrie - Buttery and gooey paste, enveloped by a thin, mushroomy rind, made with fresh Ayrshire cow's milk at Blue Ledge Farm. Camembrie is an exemplary American Brie/Camembert hybrid. 

Shepsog - A cheddar-y tomme made with 50% sheep's milk and 50% cow's milk. Caramelly and nutty, with hints of fresh grass and baked potato, this cheese from Grafton Village leaves little to be desired! 

Sheep Feta - This specific feta, from Hidden Springs Creamery, is extra creamy due to the high levels of butterfat present in sheep's milk. Dense, yet smooth, it tastes of brine, fruit, barnyard, and earth. It's just waiting for some artisan olive oil! 

Lake's Edge - Chalky, tangy, and melts in your mouth! A delicate. bloomy rind and streak of vegetable ash surely make this goat's milk cheese stand out in a crowd. 

​​Includes over 2 lbs of cheese and serves 12-14 people.

Please note that if any product(s) are out of stock we will substitute with something similar and equally delicious!

Amazing selection of cheeses, cared for beautifully!

We ordered the ACS Winners Quintet recently. As cheesemakers ourselves, we enjoy an activity called “cheese school” with our team. We bring in other makers’ cheeses and learn about them, taste them and discuss them as a team. This was a beautiful and diverse compilation of cheeses, showcasing the hard work of some award-winning American cheesemakers. Furthermore, we order a LOT of cheese, that we receive via mail, and it doesn’t always arrive in great condition. This cheese was shipped to us (in Ohio) during a week where temperatures were 95+ degrees. This cheese arrived cold and in perfect condition, honoring these cheeses and the way the makers intended them to be enjoyed. The package also included a summary sheet, providing information on each cheese, information about the maker and tasting notes. We were truly impressed with the quality of the package and the cheese that we received and are grateful to Saxelby Cheese for supporting American cheesemakers and for enabling us to get this wonderful quintet of cheeses.
