Reply to comment by NLCmanure in CT dairy wins US Championship Cheese Contest by pittiedaddy

I would venture to say Cato Corner makes the best cheese for a longer distance than the state borders. Couldn't say exactly how far because I haven't tried all the cheese there is but their cheese is the best I've tried.

This is true. I consider myself spoiled because I used to live a few miles from Cato Corner and now I live in the town next door to where Arethusa is. I'll take either! And thanks for the info. I was not aware of the awards they've received!

I would take Jasper Hill over Cato Corner, but Cato is definitely in the very top tier of CT. I would also include Arethusa and Mystic Cheese in that tier, depending on the style you’re looking for.

Never tried Jasper Hill but I forgot about and had Mystic at my cousin's wedding. They were very good but I, personally, give the edge to CCF. I absolutely love their Aged Bloomsday as a favorite but I also thought Mystic's Bleu cheese was better, for the record.

You need to seek out some Jasper Hill, it’s going to blow your mind. Harbison and Winnemere are my two personal favorites but Alpha Tolman may be more up your alley.
