Awards
Global awards, one fine cheese at a time
At Sartori, we believe we make some pretty good cheese, but prefer to let others decide that for themselves. Over the past few years, our cheese has been honored with over 100 awards, medals and ribbons at the most competitive and prestigious cheese contests and competitions around the globe. We are proud that our cheese, made here in Wisconsin, has been honored with such awards as “The Best New Cheese in the World” at the World Cheese Awards in Dublin, Ireland, and as the “Grand Champion” – awarded to the best cheese in the USA at the US Cheese Championships, among many.
We are especially proud of our Sartori SarVecchio Parmesan Cheese. SarVecchio is the most decorated Parmesan made in America and has been a recognized gold-medal winner at the American Cheese Society, World Cheese Awards, the World Dairy Expo, the Wisconsin State Fair and many more… we are proud that since 2007, SarVecchio has held the honor of being “ the Best Parmesan in the USA”, winning the Parmesan category at every US Cheese Championship in that timeframe.
It is with great pride that we count our blessings – for having local family milk farmer partners who supply us great, fresh milk; for our experienced Master Cheesemakers who create the cheese; for our team members who come to work every day with the single mission of making great cheese; and for our partners who make our cheese available to customers in stores and restaurants. At the end of the day, winning awards for our cheese is nice but the real joy comes from making great cheese that people love to eat and share with friends and family.
