First-ever American Cheese Month begins |
10.07.2011
|
Cheese-oriented specialty retailers around the country have begun celebrating American Cheese Month, the first edition of what will be an annual project of the American Cheese Society (ACS). Special events, classes and promotions are being held across the country, toward raising awareness of the quality and diversity of American cheeses, as well as to increasing support for family farms, traditional cheese production methods, and sustainable production models.
According to American Cheese Society President Christine Hyatt, "Launching this first-ever celebration of American cheese is very exciting. Many people still think of American cheese as 'sliced singles' and yet it's so much more than that. It's simply astounding how much great cheese is made here!"
