Emmi Kaltbach Le Gruyère® AOP matures peacefully under the watchful care of the Kaltbach Master Affineur in the cave. The mineral-rich air creates the perfect environment for transforming specially selected Le Gruyère wheels into wondrous depths of flavor. Each wheel is recognized instantly by the color of its rind – an unmistakable rustic brown patina – and its flavors of dried stone fruit, spice, black tea and hazelnuts with an earthy depth. The texture is smooth with a slight flake and pronounced crystallization.

Emmi Le Gruyère^® AOP is hand-selected from just 40 dairies with careful consideration by Emmi among more than 160 creameries in small villages throughout Switzerland, ensuring only the best Le Gruyère cheeses are sold under the Emmi brand. Aged a minimum of 5 months, Le Gruyère AOP slowly matures in the cave-like atmosphere of the Emmi cellars as each wheel is delicately turned, lightly brined and brushed. This brings out the inimitable flavor featuring notes of candied walnuts, dried fruit and spice.

Emmi and Roth Cheese also received Bronze awards for three cheeses.

Emmi Kaltbach Appenzeller® owes its tangy flavor to the care with the secret, legendary herbal brine. Based on the strictest criteria, only the best wheels are selected and brought into the Kaltbach cave. The care by the cave master’s hand and the natural climate of the sandstone cave give the Appenzeller® its unique Kaltbach aroma.

Roth Canela is an award-winning American Original cheese named after the Spanish word for “Cinnamon.” This Spanish-inspired, limited-production cheese is made with fresh, Wisconsin Cow’s milk then hand-rubbed with a cinnamon and paprika blend to give it the signature reddish-orange rind and sweet flavor.

Roth Pavino is an American Original cheese from Roth cellars. Inspired by our Swiss heritage and tradition of creating the world’s best alpine-style cheese, Pavino is crafted by our award-winning cheesemakers and cured for at least nine months. It boasts a complex, yet balanced, flavor of nutty, sweet milk accompanied by an earthy depth.

 “We are always proud of the work our cheesemakers and crew are doing, and getting recognized on an international stage makes us even more honored to represent these great brands,” said Tim Omer, president and managing director at Emmi Roth.

Submissions for the World Cheese Awards are judged on a single day by carefully composed teams of technical experts, buyers, retailers and food authors. The jurors work in teams of three and identify all the cheeses, which then get a gold, silver or bronze award.

Judges look at the rind and the body of the cheese, color, texture, consistency and above all, taste. Each of the teams then nominates an exceptional cheese as Super Gold from their table.

Wisconsin (July 8, 2021) – In response to the growing demand for Gouda, Roth^® Cheese, makers of award-winning specialty cheese, has introduced a new look for its line of Gouda products. The updated packaging – punctuated by easy-to-spot labels – will be featured on new wedges and slices for fan-favorites Roth Gouda and Natural Smoked Gouda.

“As trends and colors evolve, we want our packaging to stay current,” said Heather Engwall, Vice President of Marketing for Roth Cheese. “We are excited to deliver the same delicious Gouda cheese that our fans know and love, now with a bright and fun aesthetic that is sure to catch the eye of any cheese counter visitor.”

Cheese-lovers can now find the newly packaged Gouda while shopping at their local grocer. Consumers will also be able to find the updated items on direct-to-consumer grocery delivery service, Imperfect Foods, who has added Roth Gouda and Roth Smoked Gouda to their growing list of product offerings.

Gouda is a favorite of American consumers and has seen a significant rise in popularity over the years. In fact, from 2016 to 2019, retail Gouda sales grew four times the rate of the total specialty cheese category. 

Roth Gouda is made in Wisconsin, where green pastures, fresh air and rBST-free milk allow cheesemakers to craft this quintessential Dutch cheese. Crafted from locally sourced milk, its mellow and mild sweetness make it an ideal addition to everyday dinners and photo-worthy cheese boards.

Roth Natural Smoked Gouda is made with the same special care, before it is delicately smoked. The process adds a subtle flavor to this popular cheese, making it a creamy, smoky favorite perfect for game day and cooking.

Roth also crafts Aged Gouda and Spinach Artichoke Gouda. See the full line at www.RothCheese.com.
