Guggisberg Cheese takes first place at 2011 Ohio State Fair competition
On Tuesday, July 12, the judging took place for the Ohio State Fair’s cheese competition. Guggisberg Cheese’s entry was pronounced the Fair Grand Champion, and by extension, will be featured in the Ohio State Fair’s Sale of Champions August 7.
The Sale of Champions will take place at the WCOL Celeste Center in Columbus, and the event auctions off the grand champions from every major category of the State Fair 4-H competitions. This will be the first time in the event’s history that the Grand Champion cheese will be included in the auction. The majority of the sale’s proceeds go to support Ohio’s 4H programs.
The Ohio State Fair cheese competition was the second of three contests that determine the Ohio Swiss Cheese Association’s Grand Champion Cheesemaker for 2011. Guggisberg Cheese also was named the winner of the first contest, held on June 8. The third and final competition will be held at September’s Swiss Festival in Sugarcreek.
