GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — A cheese from Ohio has captured the top spot at the U.S. Championship Cheese Contest in Wisconsin.

The baby Swiss made by Guggisberg Cheese in Millersburg, Ohio, barely edged out a Gouda made by Marieke Penterman in Thorp, who won the contest in 2013. Penterman was also the second runner-up with another Gouda.

The winners were announced at the KI Convention Center in Green Bay late Thursday following the three-day event at the Lambeau Field Atrium.

The event is considered the largest technical cheese, butter and yogurt competition in the country. Entries came from 35 states. They’re judged on flavor, body, texture, salt, color, finish and packaging.

Blue Jacket Gretna Grilling Cheese is very good too.

ATM I'd say Brie... or maybe Blue... or "Squeeky" (curd) or... Pepper Jack or... Vermont Sharp Cheddar... Oh mustn't forget Cream Cheese, we almost always have that in the fridge here.

Okay, at 'this' precise moment in time it's Brie.. because that's what I have open in the fridge so I'm gonna eat on an English muffin with a bit of Raspberry Jam for breakfast.

Bleu: No. 1 flavor and aroma-trigger cheese for salads and a to-die-for tomato soup for me.

Havarti and Swiss: late night snacks and sandwiches.

Cheddars: Snacks with whole-grain crackers.

Asiago: A special treat for snacking.

Notable credits to the lesser of cheeses (bless their hearts):

Before she passed, my wife used to make Mac and Cheese using Velveeta and the kids loved it.

Back during the long-gone crazy drinking days, a friend and I liked Heineken and Limburger.

During my traveling days, suitcases returning from Wisconsin jobs had all spare room filled with their world-famous chocolate cheese. Ladies were in-waiting at the airport.......

I'm sure you enjoyed it - good combo. Me, I stick homemade mayo, tomato and lettuce on all my sandwiches, but do love adding Havarti.

I had a warm, Maple Bacon, melted Havarti, avocado, tomato & lettuce whole grain wrap the other day that was amazing!

but anything from queso fresca to aged cheddar is fine. at the moment I have been indulging in a fair amount of (cows milk) feta and Kalamata olives for snacking.

a bit of a kick.

Saint-André is a brand of French triple crème cow's milk cheese with a powdery white, bloomy skin of mold, in the form of a 200 g cylinder, 6 cm in diameter and 5 cm high. Originally developed and manufactured by the Soulié cheese factory in Villefranche-de-Rouergue, Aveyron, it is now produced in Vire, Calvados. Wikipedia

We used to have a real meat market in our neighborhood, who also had the most wonderful cheeses. My favorite was a French cheese; I never learned what it was, but it was buttery, nutty, rich, mm good. Wish I knew what it was. The grocery in our town is only fair in it's imported cheese selection. I don't live near enough to Whole Foods or Central Market.
