Whole Foods Touts Cheese Whizzes

  • September 11, 2012

Whole Foods Markets says that of the 121 cheesemongers who aced the first-ever American Cheese Society Certified Cheese Professional exam, 70 work at Whole Foods, giving “Big Cheese” a whole new definition.

“We are so proud of our cheesemongers for passing this inaugural exam, not only demonstrating their passion for their craft, but also making Whole Foods Market the leading retailer in terms of cheese expertise,” the Austin-based retailer says in its release.

Meanwhile, the American Cheese Society, based in Raleigh, N.C., says that in order to promote the inaugural class and to commemorate American Cheese Month in October, it is providing a searchable online directory.
