Humane dairy Redwood Hill wins CA cheese award
Sebastopol, Calif – Redwood Hill Farm & Creamery won “Best in Show” and gold medal awards at the California State Fair California Cheese Competition for its Three Peppercorn Chevre . Redwood Hill Farm’s Camellia, a soft-ripened goat cheese, also earned a gold medal.
To win a gold medal, a cheese must receive a score of 95 percent or more. Cheeses are judged on aroma (10 percent), texture (20 percent), appearance (20 percent), and flavor and finish (50 percent). The competition included 140 entries of California cheeses.
“Redwood Hill, like all of the artisan California cheese makers that entered cheeses in this competition, is dedicated to the art and craft of making fine cheeses,” said Redwood Hill Farm owner Jennifer Bice. “We are tremendously honored to have our cheeses judged as among the best from this impressive field of competitors.”
Three Peppercorn Chevre was awarded the Gold Medal, Best in Division and Best in Show. The soft, spreadable chevre has a texture similar to cream cheese, but is softer and fluffier with one-third of the fat and calories.
Camellia is a Camembert-style goat milk cheese that was named after one of Redwood Hill’s favorite does. It has a mild, buttery flavor and firm texture when young, becoming softer and more complex with age.
Sustainably Farmed & Family Owned Since 1968 and located in western Sonoma County, Calif., 60 miles north of San Francisco, Redwood Hill Farm & Creamery produces products from goat milk ,including natural artisan cheese, kefir and goat milk yogurt. All of its products are kosher certified and free of sugar, coloring, preservatives, stabilizers or powdered milk.
