Chr. Hansen's Cheese Technology Wins Contest

Provolone produced with the help of Chr. Hansen premium ingredients recently took home a gold medal.

A hard cheese made by the Argentinian cheese producer, Mastellone, was recently awarded with the gold medal in the national milk show, Mercoláctea, which takes place every year in San Francisco, a city in the state of Cordoba which is located in the middle of the country.

Mercoláctea is an annual show in its fifth year, but only the third year for the cheese contest.

The winning cheese was a traditional local kind of grana called Provolone, made with the help of Chr. Hansen’s new grana technology.

Not only was the cheese distinguished by winning the gold medal in its category, it was also chosen as "Cheese of the Year" among all the winners in all the categories.

Chr. Hansen's grana technology had also been used in the production of all the cheeses that won gold medals in the following four categories: Reggianito, Sardo, Goya and Provolone.

"I am very pleased to see that our technology is apparently becoming a symbol of premium quality within the Argentinean cheese industry," says Alberto Iriberry, Dairy Manager Chr. Hansen Argentina, and Mastellone's Key Account Manager.

A working partner

Mastellone is one of Chr. Hansen’s key customers in South America. The company has been using Chr. Hansen’s grana technology since 2004.
