The coveted honor won by Rogue Creamery is a first for a U.S. cheesemaker and a boost for the U.S. dairy industry. Overall, the U.S. won 131 medals, the most ever.

For the first time ever, a cheese from the United States has been judged "Best in the World" at the World Cheese Awards.

A panel of 260 judges from 25 countries ranked Rogue Creamery’s Rogue River Blue No. 1 on Friday in Bergamo, Italy. There were 3,804 entries.

“I am humbled and filled with gratitude,” said David Gremmels, president of Rogue Creamery, which also won the Best USA Cow’s Milk Cheese trophy sponsored by the U.S. Dairy Export Council's USA Cheese Guild™.
