At the 2013 American Cheese Society Conference this past weekend, Tillamook earned seven awards across multiple dairy categories including cheese, sour cream, butter and yogurt.
The Oregon farmer-owned cooperative received first place recognition for their Marionberry Light Yogurt, their Vintage White Extra Sharp 3 Year Reserve Cheddar, and their Premium Sour Cream. “We are proud of these recent awards as it is a reflection that our brand consistently makes great-tasting, award-winning dairy products” said Jay Allison, Tillamook VP of sales and marketing.
Tillamook Light Yogurt is naturally sweetened with Truvia® sweetener and contains real Marionberries from the Pacific Northwest creating a uniquely sweet and tart flavor, while Tillamook Vintage White Extra Sharp Cheddar is aged naturally over 3 years to perfect its refined bold taste. Tillamook Premium Sour Cream is so smooth and creamy, it has become a staple in many recipes and in many homes throughout the Pacific Northwest.
