Wisconsin Cheese Companies Honored

The Dairy Business Innovation Center has honored two Wisconsin artisan cheese companies — Roth Kase USA and Hidden Springs Creamery — for their leadership and dedication to growing the state's dairy industry.

MONROE, Wis. — The Dairy Business Innovation Center has honored two Wisconsin artisan cheese companies — Roth Kase USA and Hidden Springs Creamery — for their leadership and dedication to growing the state's dairy industry.

DBIC Innovation Zone Awards were presented to the companies this week at the Wisconsin Specialty Cheese Institute meeting here.

Roth Kase USA was cited for acting as a marketing partner with other companies to increase market share for Wisconsin cheese as well as for continuing excellence in crafting and marketing its own award-winning cheeses.

Hidden Springs Creamery's owner Brenda Jensen, who launched her Westby, Wis., company just three years ago, was recognized for her leadership in the creation of new, Wisconsin artisan sheep's milk cheeses.

“In choosing these companies, the DBIC team sought to recognize innovation in two categories: product and marketing," said DBIC spokeswoman Jeanne Carpenter in a statement to the press.

The DBIC is a not-for-profit group that offers technical assistance to dairy producers and processors in developing value-added dairy products, business planning and market development.
