Artikaas to Highlight World-Renowned Vintage Lot 18 Gouda at NYC's Summer Fancy Food Show

Artikaas to Highlight World-Renowned Vintage Lot 18 Gouda at NYC's Summer Fancy Food Show

Artikaas, imported from the Netherlands exclusively by Dutch Cheese Makers, will proudly participate in the Summer Fancy Food Show from June 23-25 at the Javits Center in New York City, at booth 672. Artikaas will showcase its extensive range of Gouda cheeses, including the acclaimed Vintage Lot 18, which recently earned first runner-up at the World Championship Cheese Contest. This accolade effectively crowns it as the world's best Gouda, highlighting Artikaas' dedication to traditional Dutch cheesemaking.

The World Championship Cheese Contest is the world’s premier technical cheese, butter, and yogurt competition. Out of 3,302 entries around the globe, Vintage Lot 18 took first runner-up to the champion and Best of Class in the Category: Gouda, Extra Aged (over 10 months). Aged for a minimum of 18 months, Vintage Lot 18 offers a deep, nutty profile with hints of caramel. Complex flavor and crystallization develop slowly as it matures in their state-of-the-art aging facility. 

"We are excited to sample Vintage Lot 18 at the Summer Fancy Food Show," said Steve Margarites, CEO/President of Dutch Cheese Makers. "This award-winning cheese represents generations of craftsmanship and passion for creating the finest Dutch Gouda. We look forward to sharing its remarkable flavor with the attendees."

The Summer Fancy Food Show is the largest specialty food industry event in North America, attracting thousands of buyers and industry professionals from around the globe. Artikaas' presence at the show provides an excellent opportunity for attendees to discover the exceptional quality and heritage of Dutch Gouda.

In addition to sampling Vintage Lot 18, Artikaas invites attendees to booth 672 to explore their entire portfolio of young, aged, and flavored cheeses. This includes their five new Youngsters flavors released earlier this year, as well as an exclusive preview of some unreleased products.
