How Oregon cheese became best in the world

April 24, 2025 8:57 p.m.

Did you know that Oregon used to be one of the top producers of cheese in the country? Though we may have fell behind terms of *quantity* Oregon punches well above its weight in fabulous fromage. We’re home to world-class, award-winning, one-of-a-kind cheeses including the best string cheese in the country from Don Froylan and the world's best cheddar from Tillamook. Blue cheese from Southern Oregon’s Rogue Creamery was even crowned “Best Cheese in the World”— the first time ever a cheese outside Europe has won the prestigious award. We’ll meet the dairy farmers, cheesemakers and ‘turophiles’ who are bringing Oregon cheeses to the world stage.
