Blue Moose of Boulder Wins Gold Medal at Global Cheese Awards

LAFAYETTE, Colo., Sept. 29, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Blue Moose of Boulder, one of Colorado's leading all natural hummus, spreads and salsa makers, is honored to announce its recent Gold Medal win for their Ciolo Brand Sweet Cream Fig Spread at the Global Cheese Awards held in Somerset, United Kingdom.  One of the longest running cheese shows in Britain, the competition is host to over 1,200 entries from 15 different countries. 

This past summer, Blue Moose of Boulder received an additional silver medal award at the International Cheese Awards held in Nantwich, England for their Truffled Ricotta Dip and a second place finish at the American Cheese Society for their Martini Olive Ricotta Dip.

"All of our dips are hand crafted in small batches.  We source local, fresh ingredients to produce incredible flavors made specifically with the tastes of Colorado in mind.  It's an honor to be recognized at these prestigious national and international competitions for our quality products," stated Bert Sartori, Blue Moose of Boulder General Manager.

Blue Moose of Boulder's gold medal winner Ciolo Sweet Cream Fig Spread is crafted by blending soft cream cheese with sweet figs and a touch of flavorful white balsamic vinegar.  The result is sweet, but with a hint of mysterious depth from the tartness.  Additional winner Truffled Ricotta Dip is mixed with flavorful ricotta, the finest truffle oil, and a pinch of chives.  American Cheese Society's nod to Martini Olive Dip blends stuffed Spanish olives with Ricotta and cream cheese to create the most delicious dip.
