Agropur Grand Cheddar Aged 3 Years also made the list of the Top 20 cheeses in the competition across all categories.

The Cooperative won a total of 13 awards at the 2020 edition of the major international cheese competition, including 6 gold.

Agropur also shone in the Mild Provolone category, sweeping the top three places with cheeses made at its plants in Luxemburg and Lake Norden in the United States. The jury was similarly impressed by the Smoked Provolone from Agropur's Luxemburg plant, which took first and second place in its category.

Feta produced at Agropur's Weyauwega, Wisconsin plant took home the top prize in the Feta category for the fourth consecutive edition, while Fat-Free Feta from the same plant picked up the gold medal in the "Lowfat Cheeses" category.
