A rising star in the artisan cheese industry, Cows and Co Creamery from Carrington, North Dakota, recently clinched the top position at the Minnesota State Fair. Their victorious entry was an Extra Old Gouda, matured for 20 months. Impressively, this marks their debut in the cheese contest world, despite producing cheese for just two years.
Maartje Murphy, owner of Cows and Co, expressed excitement about participating in a competition despite balancing cheese, gelato, and family. The results left her elated, emphasizing the company's focus on quality, from dairy to creamery, and its well-tended cows as its foundation.
Organized by the Upper Midwest Dairy Industry Association, this competition attracted entries from top-notch cheese and butter producers in Minnesota. Interested readers can check out the full results here.
Cows and Co Creamery, a family business, not only excels in cheese-making but also creates premium gelato under the brand Duchessa Gelato. Their delightful products are available on their farm, online, and at Brewhalla Fargo.
