Best In North America

UMPQUA DAIRY SOUR CREAM AND COTTAGE CHEESE WIN BEST IN NORTH AMERICA AT THE 2018 WORLD DAIRY EXPO

Roseburg, OR. Two products produced in Oregon have been named best in North America. Umpqua Dairy Sour Cream and Regular Cottage Cheese were selected by an independent panel of judges and awarded first place as the “Best of the Best” in North America at the World Dairy Expo.

The World Dairy Expo Championship Dairy Product Contest is one of the largest competitions in the world and the only one in North America that evaluates and ranks all categories of dairy products.

“I am always proud of the dedication and effort our production team displays in making the finest dairy products,” comments Doug Feldkamp, President of Umpqua Dairy. “This award is shared by all our employees and our Oregon dairy partners who supply us with 100% of the milk used in these award-winning products.”

“This year’s contest has once again surpassed all expectations,” says Brad Legreid, executive director, Wisconsin Dairy Products Association, which conducts the annual World Dairy Expo Championship Dairy Product Contest. “We received a near-record number of 1,402 entries from dairy processors throughout North America.”

Judging was held at MATC Culinary Arts School in Madison, Wisconsin. All product samples were judged by awarding points on a 100 point scale for flavor, body and texture, appearance and color, packaging and deducting points for various defects.

“Now our customers know they’re enjoying the best sour cream and cottage cheese in North America,” said Feldkamp.

Umpqua Dairy will receive their first-place trophies at an event in Madison, Wisconsin on Oct 2.
