Cabot Creamery, a farmer-owned cooperative based in New England, earned 15 awards at the 2026 American Cheese Society competition, the organization announced. The Certified B Corporation produces dairy products including cheddar, pepper jack cheese, artisan-aged varieties, butter, Greek yogurt, sour cream, and dips, sourced from farm families across New England and New York. The cooperative has operated for more than a century. The awards recognize what Cabot describes as its "continued commitment to quality, craftsmanship and innovation." The ACS competition is among the largest annual cheese judging events in North America, drawing entries from producers across the continent.
Why It Matters
For foodservice operators and retailers sourcing regional dairy, ACS recognition signals consistent quality and craft production—particularly relevant for establishments marketing locally sourced or artisanal cheese programs.
