We feature some very big cheeses this time. Results from this year's international cheese competition in Madison, Wisconsin are in.

In third place --- an Emmentaler with its perfect rind. In second place -- a nutty Gorgonzola that travelled all the way from Italy. And in first place....well ... we can tell you that it's a hard yellow cheese, made from cow's milk, and named after a town in Switzerland.

This medieval town is located in the central Swiss canton of Fribourg, on the Saane River. Its 13th century castle looks out on Mount Moléson.

Long ago the town's cheesemakers created this delicious cheese. Its flavor, texture and color earned it top honors at the world cheese championship.

It outscored nearly 2,000 entries from 20 countries. So name the cheese and you've named the town we're looking for in Switzerland.
