INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Tulip Tree Creamery, an artisan cheese company based in Indianapolis, has achieved international recognition with its Nightshade cheese winning a Super Gold Award at the 2024-2025 World Cheese Awards in Viseu, Portugal.

The prestigious award places Nightshade among the top 2% of cheeses globally, as only 104 Super Golds were awarded out of 4,786 entries from 47 countries. This accolade highlights the quality and craftsmanship of Tulip Tree Creamery’s products.

In addition to the Super Gold Award, Tulip Tree Creamery’s other cheeses also received accolades at the World Cheese Awards. Queen Anne’s Lace earned a Silver, while Milkweed and Trillium each took home a Bronze.

Tulip Tree Creamery has introduced two new cheeses: Blazing Star, a young cheddar, and Marigold, a Latin-inspired cheese with Mexican spices.

A recent grant has enabled the company to acquire new machinery that cuts cheese into pieces, facilitating sales to smaller retailers across the United States.

The creamery is actively involved in community events and national shows, participating in fundraisers like REV and Zoobilation, as well as industry events such as The National Restaurant Association Show in Chicago and the Fancy Food Show in New York City.
