A cheesemaker from Switzerland has won the World Championship Cheese competition twice in a row, and for a third overall time. The cheese called Gourmino Le Gruyere AOP crafted by Michael Spycher of Mountain Dairy Fritzenhaus in Bern, Switzerland took top honors at the biennial contest hosted by the Wisconsin Cheese Makers Association.
The top two cheeses came from Switzerland out of 2,978 entries. The first runner up was Appenzeller® Mild-Würzig, an Appenzeller made by Käserei Niederbüren AG of Niederbüren, Switzerland.
