Tillamook does good cheese right. Its whole milk mozzarella line is a testament to this, and its brick cream cheese might be even better than Philadelphia’s.However, this brand is still best known for its Cheddar cheese. It hasn’t won numerous awards for this variety for nothing, including one of its most recent titles earlier this year: Best in Class for its Sharp Cheddar at the 2024 edition of the World Champion Cheese Contest.Tillamook’s Award-Winning Farmers' Collection Hickory Smoked Extra Sharp White CheddarBut that's not all. Most recently, Tillamook clinched the prestigious "Best USA Cheese Any Variety" title at the International Cheese and Dairy Awards (ICDA) for its Farmers' Collection Hickory Smoked Extra Sharp White Cheddar. With over 5,500 entries, Tillamook's 13 awards, including for its Cheddar, brick cream cheese, and cream cheese spreads, underscore its commitment to quality and excellence.The company calls the award-winning Farmers' Collection Hickory Smoked Extra Sharp White Cheddar a “bold Cheddar balanced with notes of savory smokiness.” It also won this year’s best “Naturally Smoked Cheese.”

It’s a firm cheese with a creamy texture that’s been “cold-smoked” in hickory wood smoke, bringing out a perfect blend of nutty and buttery flavors. No wonder it won the 2020 World Championship Cheese Contest award, too.
