The Cheese in Isumi won Awards!
Japanese spiny lobster, Isumi rice…
There are many specialty products in Isumi.
Among those, “Cheese made in Isumi city” became a popular topic of our conversation between staffs as new specialty foods.
There are no less than 5 cheese factories in Isumi city, and each of them makes distinctive cheese using local (Isumi) milk.
Such Isumi cheese won awards at JAPAN CHEESE AWARD 2014!
The award winning cheeses are as follows:
・Gold Prize “Makiba no Taiyo” from cheese factory of Takahide farm
・Bronze Prize “Mozzarella Cheese” from cheese factory Yojuemon
The results are here (Website of Cheese Professional Association).
121 cheeses from 61 factories were nominated for the award, and I am very happy that cheeses from Isumi were selected among them.
I expect the further success of cheese factories in Isumi!!
