Crave Brothers Farmstead Cheese was awarded first place for its cow’s milk Mascarpone at the 2011 American Cheese Society (ACS) Conference and Competition. This fresh, sweet cheese has received more than 20 awards in total. It is produced at a farmstead cheese factory on a sustainable, state-of-the-art family farm in Waterloo, Wis.

At the same competition, Crave Brothers Petit Frère Reserve was awarded third place in the Farmstead Cheeses category. Competing products in this category are made with milk from herds on the same farm where the cheese is produced. Petit Frère (French for “little brother”) is the 8-ounce version of the 2-pound wheel of Les Frères, a rind-washed European-style cheese. Crave Brothers Farmstead Classics are made with vegetarian rennet and BGH-free milk from the Crave Brothers Dairy Farm.
The 2011 competition was held during the 29th Annual American Cheese Society Conference in Montreal. This year, a record number of entries (1,676) competed. Altogether, cheese and cultured milk products were submitted from 258 companies in the U.S. and Canada.
