Yancey's Fancy Cheese, New York Cheddar, Champagne 7.6 oz

Yancey's Fancy New York Cheddar, Champagne (7.6 oz) is a small-format specialty wedge that you’d spot in the refrigerated specialty cheese case or on an endcap with other flavored cheddars, gourmet crackers, and charcuterie accoutrements. It reads like an elevated everyday cheese—positioned for entertaining or small splurges rather than bulk cooking. Shoppers reach for it on trips for weekend brunches, casual dinner parties, or when building a picnic or wine-and-cheese spread. The brand leans into regional craft cheesemaking and foodie culture: boutique, artisanal New York provenance with a playful, slightly luxurious twist (a champagne-flavored cheddar). The label typically emphasizes real cheese and flavor notes rather than kid-focused graphics; there’s no organic badge and marketing skews adult—foodies, hosts, and crowd-pleasing cooks who want something a bit different. On the package you’ll find a clear product name, tasting cues, and gourmet positioning that creates a “natural” halo from the word cheddar and the inclusion of champagne, even though the ingredient list includes functional additives. Sensory experience: semi-firm, creamy cheddar texture with a smooth melt and a subtle tang, punctuated by a bright, vinous aroma from the champagne-flavoring note. It’s packaged as a vacuum-sealed wedge or wrapped piece for refrigerated display; ritual uses include slicing for a cheese board, grating over potatoes, or serving with bubbles and crackers at gatherings. Processing context: it’s a processed cheese product—based on a real cheddar with added emulsifier and flavoring—so it’s more processed than a plain farmhouse cheddar.
