Grand Champion and Reserve Champion cheesemakers were selected on Thursday, July 23 at the 2026 Ohio State Fair Cheese Contest held @micelidairy in Cleveland.
The American Dairy Association Mideast, which coordinated the event, is pleased to announce that @pearlvalleycheese of Fresno received the Grand Champion award for its Swiss cheese. As is tradition in the Ohio State Fair Cheese Contest, the Grand Champion Cheese is selected from entries in the Swiss class. Following that selection, judges choose the Reserve Champion Cheese from among the first-place winners in all contest classes, recognizing the competition's overall outstanding cheese. This year's Reserve Champion award was presented to @urbansteadcheese of Cincinnati for its Nati Gouda.

Winners of the contest by classification are available on the Ohio Cheese Guild website, linked in our bio. Congratulations to all! 🧀 by @ohcheeseguild

This week, we are happy to feature @marchantmanor!

Located on Lee Road in Cleveland Heights, Marchant Manor Cheese was founded by Dr. Kandice Marchant, affectionately called the “Cheese Doctor.” Before starting Marchant Manor in 2018, she worked at the Cleveland Clinic for 36 years as the Institute Chair of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine and Medical Director of the Hemostasis & Thrombosis Laboratory. Inspired by European cheese boards enjoyed during travels with her late husband, Roger, Kandice fell in love with soft, bloomy, and washed-rind styles and set out to master them herself.

Marchant Manor in turn specializes in triple-cream and European-style cheeses, many made with Guernsey milk. Their signature varieties including Elmstead Ash, Henley, Lapworth, and Beachy Head Goat are each named for places in England as a tribute to Roger’s heritage. Marchant Manor also hosts cheesemaking classes and tastings, offers a cheese club membership, and holds a variety of community events.

You can visit Marchant Manor Cheese at 2211 Lee Rd, Cleveland Heights, or visit their website at https://www.marchantmanor.com. We are proud to have Marchant Manor Cheese as a member of the Ohio Cheese Guild! 🧀 #ohiocheese #ohiomade by @ohcheeseguild
