Do you know for a fact that Cabot *produces cheeses* especially for competitions, or is that just an assumption?
>>When you buy Tillamook cheese you are buying the cheese that won the competition.<<
When you buy Cabot cheese you are buying the best mass marked Cheddar cheese in the USA. And you are supporting small dairy farmers and traditions that are slipping away elsewhere, in this once great nation. :)
Tillamook Cheese does not make a special competition cheese as many others do. That is a factual statement. Wines, and beers are similarly competed with special production for competition. My inside source (Tillamook)does not know if Cabot cheese made a special competition cheese. Only Cabot knows. Ask them.
Cabot cheese is obviously a fine cheese. Denigrating Tillamook cheese does not make cabot a better cheese.
Tillamook cheese is a co-op of small family farms.
Cabot best mass marketed cheddar?
Cabot 2008 $350 million

Same stuff that the masses buy at the grocery store in all 50 states. (if there were 57 states it would be 57)
