This is 2022's highest ranked cheese in North America. Winning "Best of Show" 1st place at the American Cheese Society competition.

For several years, from 2012-2019, I was honored to be invited to the American Cheese Society's annual conference and competition. In exchange for my involvement I painted the 3 best of show winners and that collection of portraits of the highest ranked cheeses made in North America belongs to the ACS.

Since the pandemic, there's been a lot of changes. I may no longer be attending the conference but I'm still glad to paint this champion cheese portrait with the first place blue-purple ribbon colored background. Jasper Hill Farm is no stranger to this place on the list of champions. Whitney is a beautiful alpine-style cheese that is perfect for melting, ready for a raclette machine, though I found it melted just as easily on my tongue.

The raw cow milk mountain-style cheese is named after Tim Whitney, a dedicated team member who has been with Jasper Hill since 2004 and it's absolutely beautiful to tasste. Congratulations Jasper Hill Farm!
