Ron’s Wisconsin Cheese Wins Big at the World Dairy Expo Cheese Contest

At Ron’s Wisconsin Cheese, we’ve always believed that farmstead tradition, quality milk, and a passion for cheesemaking set us apart. This year, we’re thrilled to share that those values have been recognized on the global stage: we brought home three awards from the 2025 World Dairy Expo Championship Dairy Product Contest in Madison, Wisconsin!

🥇 1st Place: Snow Cheddar Spread

Our Snow Cheddar Spread took home first place in its category. This smooth, creamy spread showcases the naturally white, rich flavor of our Snow Cheddar in a versatile form perfect for crackers, pretzels, and sandwiches. It’s no surprise the judges loved it as much as our customers do!

🥈 2nd Place: Three Pepper Cheese Curds

If you like your snacks with a little kick, our Three Pepper Cheese Curds are the perfect choice. Blended with jalapeño and bell peppers, they balance heat with the classic squeaky, fresh curd texture. These bold curds earned second place, proving that spice and tradition make an award-winning combination. Coming soon to the website!

🥉 3rd Place: Classic Cheese Curds

Nothing says Wisconsin quite like fresh cheese curds. Our classic cheddar curds received third place, a true honor in a category packed with competition. Known for their squeak, freshness, and farmstead quality, these curds continue to be a fan favorite both locally and online.
