Ways to Use It

Grate this New York extra sharp yellow cheese over pasta to add pep, melt it on rustic bread for a sophisticated grilled cheese, sprinkle over grilled vegetables for a healthy entree, blend it into a simple quiche for that wow factor–or cut into cubes and eat it plain. Any way you slice it, it's good!

Easy to Melt

New York Extra Sharp is the perfect texture for melting. The preferred method for melting is to shred the cheese so that is uniformly shaped, then allow it to rise to room temperature. Make a roux of flour and fat (to thicken the sauce) in a non-stick skillet and then, keeping the heat on low, add the cheese. Stir frequently and don't walk away. Once the cheese is smooth, remove it from the heat.
