Yancey's Fancy Cheese is still the fanciest around

Yancey's Fancy Cheese is made Corfu, New York and is home to some of the best hand crafted cheeses found in New York State. Throughout their illustrious history that started shortly after the First World War with a lone emigrate from Bavaria, Germany named Leo Kutter who started making cheese Cowlesville, New York, Yancey's Fancy has been at the forefront of exceptionally high quality, unique and fresh cheese that makes the best use of its New York location by working directly with local milk suppliers through the Upstate Farms Cooperative.

I recently had the pleasure of trying some of the Yancey's Fancy Bergenost Cheese, which I should add, is not only a Yancey Fancy Exclusive but also New York State Fair winner in 2009. It is a milder cheese that is similar to a sweeter Gouda in both appearance and texture. When taken alone it has a smooth start with an almost sour finish. When paired with a cracker and glass of Riesling it showed itself to be spreadable and complementary to sweetness from the wine. These points alone denote all the hallmarks of a fine cheese. It should also be noted that Yancey's Fancy supplies recipes for many of its cheeses. For the Bergenost, the Yancey's Fancy Creamy Bergenost Spinach and Artichoke Dip sounds delicious and would be great for any party.

So next time you are looking for a great cheese, be it for wine pairings, cooking, a party or just enjoying at home, try out some of New York's finest artesian cheese with Yancey's Fancy.
