Firefly Farms, producer of goat cheeses from Maryland’s Allegheny Plateau, has earned a top honor at this year’s American Cheese Society’s annual conference, which was held in Montreal, Canada.
FireFly’s aged goat cheese, Mountain Top Bleu, received the first place ribbon, beating out numerous other blue-veined goat cheeses. The ribbon marked the 14th individual honor received by Mountain Top Bleu, which has been recognized by Saveur Magazine as one of its 50 favorite American cheeses.
“This is the 44th individual award for our FireFly Farms product line,” explained Matt Cedro, head cheese maker.
“It always feels great to have our work recognized on the national stage. We are very proud of all our cheeses and to receive this type of recognition is wonderful.”
“It all began nearly 10 years ago with a first-place ribbon for Mountain Top Bleu at the ACS in 2002,” added Mike Kock, FireFly Farms president.
“As we move our creamery to Accident and prepare to expand our business, it’s greatly fulfilling that Mountain Top Bleu has remained America’s best.”
