Welcome
The American Cheese Society (ACS) was founded in 1983 and has grown to include approximately 1,400 members. The Society’s membership includes farmstead, artisanal and specialty cheesemakers; academicians and enthusiasts; marketing and distribution specialists; food writers and cookbook authors; and specialty foods retailers from the United States, Canada and Europe. In addition, members of the Society work with the federal government concerning issues that involve accepted standards and practices in the production of cheese and fermented dairy products. Each year the Society hosts an annual conference and a world-renowned cheese competition, which culminates in the Festival of Cheese.
