Rogue Creamery Donates to ACEF in Celebration of American Cheese Month

For the second year in a row, Rogue Creamery will donate 1 percent of October sales to ACEF (American Cheese Education Fund) to celebrate American Cheese Month. The American Cheese Society’s sister organization, ACEF, was created to educate people about the art and science of artisanal and specialty cheese and it supports existing and new educational efforts to further learning opportunities for all those interested in producing, marketing, selling, and appreciating North America’s artisan, farmstead, and specialty cheeses.

One of those educational components is the Certified Cheese Professional program; the letters ACS CCP designate that an individual has acquired thorough knowledge and the level of expertise that is demanded within the cheese industry. Two Rogue Creamery team members, Tom Van Voorhees and Chelsea Faris, were among the first in the U.S. to earn the CCP credentials.  For additional information about ACEF go to http://www.cheesefoundation.org/ and for additional information about American Cheese Month, October, go to http://www.americancheesemonth.org/october-american-cheese-month/ .
