This program trains Wisconsin cheesemakers to be even better and pushes them to reach their fullest potential. The program was established by Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin, the Center for Dairy Research and University of Wisconsin-Extension 26 years ago to recognize and reward the extraordinary talent of our cheese makers and help open new markets and opportunities as these Master Cheesemakers craft their specialty cheeses using quality Wisconsin milk.
To date, 91 participants have earned the title of Wisconsin Master Cheesemaker for 47 different varieties of cheese. The program offered its first master’s certification in cheese curds this year, allowing for innovation and advancements for dairy.
