An American cheese has been named world champion for the first time. Rogue River Blue, from southern Oregon cheesemaker Rogue Creamery, was declared the world’s best cheese of 2019 at the World Cheese Awards in Italy in October, according to contest organizer the Guild of Fine Food The organic blue cheese beat out a record 3,803 other cheeses in the competition, which is the world’s largest cheese-only contest. Contest judge Bruno Cabral described Rogue’s cheese as a “taste party” with “different sensations, balance, sweet and spicy notes.” David Gremmels, the owner of Rogue Creamery, said he was “humbled and filled with gratitude” in a press release after the win.

How has this not happened until just now?

We are the epitome of obese fucks and cheap fatty foods. Cheese is like the one food everyone eats here.

Most Americans don't eat "real" cheese, i.e. aged cheeses. The stuff on fast food is all processed plastic cheese or young cheese like mozzarella.

The tell is lots of white people thinking they're lactose intolerant. Aged cheeses have little to zero lactose and so anyone saying they can't eat cheese is really saying they eat lots of junk food which would give them the shits regardless.

American cheese is notoriously garbage. It is reviled throughout the entire world.

This is somewhat unfair but it's a fact.

I hope Trump tweets a picture of him giving a medal to cheese.

I'll have to give it a try. Reviews for it are pretty rave.

 

[A Welsh Cake]

I'll only agree with this conclusion if someone sent me some cheese.
For free of course.

That's only the case because everyone assumes all American cheese is basically Kraft singles

I hate to say this, but most Americans are similar to Chris Chan in this regard. Thinking Kraft is real cheese.

America, you finally done it.

When Subway asks what kind of cheese you want, and you say "American", there's no question what you're getting. I don't know what kind of "taste party" these fags are raving about, but it isn't American Cheese.

 

[Dante Alighieri]

Is this like wine, where it's a bunch of snobs talking at each other about taste and vintage and other shit while they'll jerk off a boxed wine if told it was super expensive and rare?

 

[Recoil]

White american is better than yellow american, just like in real life.
Fite me irl

I hope Trump tweets a picture of him giving a medal to cheese.

But Jim Acosta might debunk the tweet causing Drumpftgh to be finally impeached.

I don't think it can be had both ways - a minority of cheese-eating Americans spend money on good quality cheese, wheras elsewhere the only time you might use plastic, processed cheeses are on burgers, or if you're extremely low income. Tradtionally produced cheese is standard (as in, all that you buy) in most European countries, and much less so in the US, where it's more of one of several options, which means their good producers are swimming against the tide to get noticed. It sounds about right that they took so long to get recognised when they come from a food culture so indifferent to their promotion.

Producers that do well in these competitions are usually able to put a bit more care into the product than even regular traditional production, so you need enough local support and a robust supply chain (the best cheese often uses very specific types of m!lk which itself needs to come from high quality producers who care about the breed and how it's fed, and feeding animals organically is very expensive compared to factory farming*) to be able to develop your product and it can't be done in isolation. The more good producers you have, the more likely you'll gain success internationally.

*Quality cheese and meat production also often go hand-in-hand in local ecosystems, and highly aged cured meats are popular in Europe and are produced and aged alongside mature cheeses, these also seem less popular in the US vs fresh meats. Proximity to other quality products in the local area can lead to you having access to things like wine to age things in, or specific herbs to use as infusions, creating a symbiotic relationship between a bunch of food producers in the area. The longer these traditions become intertwined, the more they get noticed, adopted into recipes, variants get produced, and this complexity drives up standards, both of producers and consumers. I'm not sure if it's the closer geographic proximity between regions that makes this easier to do in Europe than the US, or just mechanisation meaning things are produced in bulk in the farm system, making it harder to create these relationships for small US producers.

Sorry for sperg, food is interesting.
