There are plenty of American cheeses that win the top prize in international competitions. Six of the eight cheddar categories at the following competition were won by US cheeses.

Wow! Six of eight domestic cheeses won at a 'world cheese' competition sponsored by the Wisconsin Cheese Makers Association. Colour me surprised! I am sure the fix was not in on that particular contest...

There actually are some good US cheeses, although oddly enough not a single one of them comes from Wisconsin to the best of my knowledge. (Vermont, Iowa, and California in case you were wondering.)

That was just the first link I found, and it was just for the first category. Other (non-US based) competitions also have winning cheeses from the US. My point was only that there are certainly good cheeses from the US. Of course, it's all subjective, so it doesn't mean that any one person will be able to find a favorite cheese from there.
