  • The United States is the World’s largest producer of cheese, with more than 1,000 varieties of cheese available.

  • Select specialty cheeses from award-winning US cheesemakers – Beehive Cheese Company, Rogue Creamery, Sartori Company, and Tillamook County Creamery Association – are now available in Singapore for consumers to enjoy.

Being the world’s largest producer of milk, the US holds the title of the world’s largest producer and exporter of cheese, with over 1,000 varieties ranging from European styles to American Originals such as Monterey Jack, Colby Jack, and cream cheese. Beyond the large production and export volume, the US cheese industry’s reputation for its first-class craftsmanship for producing high-quality, innovative, and award-winning cheeses was internationally recognised and cemented at this year’s edition of the International Cheese and Dairy Awards and the World Cheese Awards. 

The long-standing heritage of Cheese from the USA was at the forefront of the industry’s biggest competitions this year, receiving a combined total of 235 accolades and medals – 88 medals at the 2023-2024 International Cheese and Dairy Awards (including 34 Gold, 29 Silver, and 25 Bronze) and 147 at the 2023-2024 World Cheese Awards (including 7 Super Gold, 22 Gold, 41 Silver, and 77 Bronze).

Taking the backgrounds and ancestry from various farmers and producers to create spectacular cheeses and meet the needs of consumers across the globe,” said Ryan Hopkin, Global Cheese Communications Manager for the USA Cheese Guild. “We’re thrilled that the versatility continues to be recognized within the industry and with consumers whether it’s at competitions, on restaurant menus or in someone’s kitchen.”

Select specialty cheeses from these award-winning US cheesemakers are now available in Singapore through large retailers such as Cold Storage and NTUC FairPrice Finest, as well as on e-commerce platforms including Amazon and RedMart by Lazada. The US cheesemakers and their varieties include:

  • Beehive Cheese Company – Seahive Cheddar (Bronze, 2023/2024), Apple Walnut Smoked Cheddar (Bronze, 2022/2023), Teahive Cheddar (Silver, 2021/2022), Barely Buzzed Cheddar (Bronze, 2021/2022).

The US cheese industry continues to gain recognition against its international counterparts in recent years, including the first-ever American recipient of the “World Champion Cheese” award – Rogue River Blue by Rogue Creamery – in the 2019 and 2020 editions of the World Cheese Awards. Wrapped in organic, hand-picked Syrah grape leaves that have been soaked in pear spirits, this aged blue cheese is now available in Singapore at the Little Farms grocer.
