Pro Tip:
For a party, plan for 2–3 oz per person if other appetizers are served, or 4–5 oz per person if the cheese is the main attraction. When in doubt, "size up"—our cheeses have a long shelf life and a 5 lb wheel makes a stunning centerpiece!
Cheese Production & Varieties
Pasteurized processed cheese is "cheese made from cheese." It consists of a blend of natural cheeses treated with heat to produce a uniform flavor and texture. We often add emulsifiers, spices, and herbs to create our unique flavor profiles.
Cheese curds are fresh cheddar cheese before it is pressed into a block for aging. They are mild, snackable, and high in calcium.
Our Grand Reserve line features naturally processed cheeses that are not blended with bold flavors (like wasabi or bacon), highlighting the pure, traditional profile of the cheese.
We use authentic champagne from Hunt Country Winery in the Finger Lakes region of New York.
Dietary & Nutritional Information
Yes, all of our cheeses are gluten-free. While our horseradish is shipped in vinegar (which can occasionally contain trace amounts of gluten), there have been no reported issues from customers with Celiac disease.
All of our cheeses are made using vegetable-based rennet. Only cheeses with "Bacon" or "Pepperoni" in the name contain meat products. Our cows are grass-fed, though they are not certified organic.
rBST-Free: Refers to the absence of synthetic hormones used to increase milk production. All Yancey’s Fancy natural cheeses are rBST-free.
GMO-Free: Refers to the seeds and feed given to the livestock. While the EPA deems rBST safe, we offer rBST-free products to meet consumer preference.
Storage & Handling
Unpack your order and refrigerate it immediately. Cheese is best kept in the bottom drawer or vegetable crisper to maintain consistent humidity. To prevent unintentional mold, keep the cheese tightly wrapped.
Unopened: Our vacuum-sealed cheeses can last for several months in the refrigerator.
- Opened: Once opened and re-wrapped tightly, most varieties stay fresh for up to two months.
- Freezing: We do not recommend freezing, as it can compromise the texture. If you do freeze it, we suggest using it only for cooking or melting.
Some mold is intentional (such as the blue in Danish Blue or the white rind on Brie). If unintentional surface mold develops on a hard cheese, you can typically cut it off and enjoy the rest. However, if the mold has spread to the interior or the cheese develops an "off" odor, it should be discarded.
