CHAMPIONSHIP WINNER UPDATE:
We have a champion!! After a month of eating and voting, we’ve crowned a winner! Congrats to L’Amuse Gouda of Essex St. Cheese! L’Amuse exhibits all of the crunch, bite and saltiness you expect from aged Gouda, but with a slightly creamier mouthfeel. It tastes of roasted hazelnuts and caramel abound, with a lingering, complex finish. Learn more about the cheese here.
Our Rittenhouse Cheesemongers hosted the ultimate cheese-off as 32 of our favorites battled it out on the road to crowning 2016’s Cheese Champ!
The Lineup
Four divisions are represented in this season’s #cheesemadness:

The Reigning Champion
Our last March Madness of Cheese ended with a heated battle between Montgomery’s Cheddar and Midnight Moon!
Thanks for Voting!
A big thank you to our customers and our cheesemongers for making March Madness of Cheese so fun! Your time sampling cheese and your votes made this so exciting for us. And we crowned a winner—scroll up to see who won!
Great selection of the absolutely delicious cheese in Philly!
I am unable to get the Rittenhouse store but if possible I would like to vote. Cavero Parm, is my vote to take it all.
Cavero Parm is the champ!
The cave aged Gouda all the way!
Can I sample every single piece? Like at once
Tasting cheeses from DiBruno Brothers is a sport that joins generations of a family together over decades. We love all of your cheese spreads, too!
No way should Ewuphoria NOT be in this campaign for the best cheese.
