MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The largest technical cheese, butter and yogurt competition in the world is taking place in Wisconsin, with a record 3,667 entries from 26 nations. The 55 judges will taste, sniff and inspect the 132 classes of dairy products during the biennial World Championship Cheese Contest that started Tuesday. The judges include cheese graders, cheese buyers, dairy science professors, and researchers from 19 nations and 14 states. The last time the competition was held in 2018, a hard sheep’s milk cheese called Esquirrou made in France at Mauleon Fromagerie won top honors. This year’s winner will be announced Thursday.
