The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills Announces Recipients of Third Annual...

Norbert Wabnig, proprietor of The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills, has announced the winners of his Third Annual American Artisanal Treasure Awards. The American Artisanal Treasure Awards was created by Wabnig to honor producers of handmade specialty foods across the United States.



   


For decades, The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills has been known for carrying rare and hard to find artisanal foods and gourmet goodies, long before the current wave of interest in artisanal products. The American Artisanal Treasure Awards is my way of saying thank you to these fine artisans, many of whom are pioneers in their category, Wabnig says. Each winner received a custom designed cheese cabinet autographed by the judges.



To choose the winners, Wabnig assembled a stellar panel of judges including Evan Kleiman, Chef and Host of KCRW'ss Good Eats; Hans Goplen, Executive Chef, The Farm of Beverly Hills; Kit Rachlis, Editor in chief, Los Angeles Magazine; Mona Harrington, Chef, Culinary Institute of America; John Larroquette, Actor; Mike Kassar, Fromagier, Spago Beverly Hills; Sharon Palmer, Cheesemaker, Nanny Udderly'ss Healthy Family Farms; and Deborah Racine, Public Relations.
