The Festival of Cheese, a gala culmination of the ACS annual four-day conference, will feature more than 1,100 cheeses from over 30 states and Canada. There will be cow’s milk cheddars, goat’s milk bries, chèvres and triple-creams, washed-rind cheeses and blue-veined cheeses available for sampling as some of the nation’s finest cheesemakers vie for attention at the Festival.
