Meet the Supporting Makers

The Utah Cheese Awards relies on the support of the cheesemakers and producers.
We like to recognize those with an outstanding dedication to the contest by labeling them gold, silver or bronze based on their yearly contributions. MORE

It all comes together at our public events

A good amount of our support comes from our public events. Each year we have a tasting reception with winning cheeses and other foods. We are involved in other events as well.
