The American Cheese Society (ACS) was founded in 1983 and has grown to include approximately 1,200 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. Each year the Society hosts an annual conference and a world-renowned judging and competition, which culminates in the Festival of Cheese.
