2012 GREAT AMERICAN BEER FESTIVAL CHEESE SAMPLES THE ARTISAN CHEESE EXCHANGE (WI) - http://www.cheese-exchange.com Deer Creek Vat 17 World Cheddar: Deer Creek Vat 17 has deep, bold and complex flavors. During the two year aging process, each vat of cheese is continually monitored and inspected to focus on the single combination that produces the body, texture, and most importantly, the flavor that is pleasing to any Cheddar connoisseur. Deer Creek 3 Year Reserve Specialty Cheddar: A team of Wisconsin Licensed Cheese Graders hand-selects only the best vats from the hundreds that are produced for this cheese. As the cheese ages, they continually evaluate and inspect the cheese to ensure that the chosen vats meet the 38 specific standards for flavor, texture, body and finish indicative of a AA Grade Cheddar. Deer Creek “The Fawn”: This cheddar cheese is made in 22-lb bandaged and waxed “daisy wheels.” AVALANCHE CHEESE COMPANY (CO) - www.avalanchecheese.com Cabra Blanca: Cabra Blanca is an aged semi-soft, bloomy rind goat cheese with a snow-white interior with small holes.
