Caputo Brothers Creamery of Spring Grove, PA has been named among the winners at the 30th annual World Cheese Awards in London, standing out from the crowd as over 3,000 entries were judged in a single day at Tobacco Dock on Friday, November 17.
Caputo Brothers Creamery was awarded a coveted Bronze award for its Vecchio (Ricotta Salata) - a whey-based ricotta that is salted and aged for at least 6 weeks. This cheese is higher in moisture than traditional Ricotta Salata, allowing for a funky rind development and giving this cheese a distinct flavor, totally unexpected from a whey-based cheese.
