Contact Information: "Winning this award again demonstrates our employees’ commitment to quality, matched only by our farmers’ dedication to providing us the highest quality cream and milk," said Cabot President and CEO Richard Stammer. "We’re best known for winning every major award for cheddar," Stammer continued. "How pleased we all are that recognition now comes to our natural creamery butter as well." Cabot salted and unsalted butter is churned at Cabot’s West Springfield MA plant. Plant Manager Ed Pcolar and Senior Vice President of Operations Richard Langworthy have big plans for promoting this victory. "Or at least a big banner on our plant, right smack on busy Riverdale Street – the most highly traveled road in the area," laughed Pcolar. Other plans include a tribute to the butter makers on the butter packaging. "We won and we want consumers around the United States to know that when they buy Cabot, they are buying the best butter available. This award says it all," announced Langworthy when telling the plant's employees about the win. Winners at the U.S. Championships are determined by 10 expert judges from across the country whose challenge is to identify the finest cheeses and butters in over 30 categories. This year, a record 681 entries were evaluated on traits, such as flavor, body, texture, finish, and packaging. For more information on this event, hosted by the Wisconsin Cheese Makers Association and tracing its roots to the 1890s, go to www.wischeesemakersassn.org. Cabot’s Natural Creamery Butters are available in supermarkets and super centers across the country. Cabot Creamery Cooperative has been in continuous operation in Vermont since 1919 and makes a full line of cheeses and other dairy products, including "The World’s Best Cheddar" as judged at the 22nd Biennial World Championship Cheese Contest.
