Goat Rodeo Farm & Dairy becomes the ‘big cheese’ after taking first place for their cheese Bamboozle during last week’s biennial World Championship Cheese Contest in Madison, Wisconsin on March 1-3, 2022. The World Championship Cheese Contest is the largest technical cheese, butter, yogurt, and dry dairy ingredient competition in the world. Hosted by the Wisconsin Cheese Makers Association since 1957, this year’s contest received a total of 2,919 entries from 28 countries worldwide.
Bamboozle is created from a blend of goat’s and cow’s milk. The cheese is aged for at least two months and washed with “Tracks Again,” an unfiltered pilsner from Pittsburgh’s Cinderlands Beer Co. The cheese, which has a supple, semi-soft texture and notes of prosciutto and peanuts, took first place among 109 entrants in the Surface Ripened Mixed Milk Cheese Class.
Goat Rodeo Farm & Dairy is a 130-acre family-owned farm north of Pittsburgh, PA in northern Allegheny County. The farm is home to a herd of more than 140 Alpine and Nubian dairy goats and also brings in other locally sourced goats and cow’s milk to make a variety of fresh and aged cheeses using traditional techniques for artisan cheese production.
Earlier this year, Bamboozle took home “Best in Show” at the Pennsylvania Farm Show. Bamboozle, and Goat Rodeo’s full family of award-winning cheeses, are available at retail outlets across the commonwealth and online at goatrodeocheese.org.
