to be fair, most of those contests took place in Wisconsin. hell, the world championship cheese contest took place in Wisconsin, and the 3 top winners last year were from Switzerland and Austria

cheese from Wisconsin is a mixed bag. they have some great cheeses(no where else in the US makes leipajuusto, so thanks for that) but they also make a ton of garbage. the garbage is what gets exported the furthest though, so people outside of the upper plains get the shitty colby while not seeing the legitimately good cheese.

one thing I will agree with our relevant and cultured overlords from the coasts on is that Wisconsin confuses quantity with quality. Wisconsin produces a fuck ton of cheese, no one is denying that. a good portion of it is pretty good as well. but it's not the best cheese in the world simply because of how much you produce.
