56th Summer Fancy Food Show at New York City's Javits Center

"Kopiaste!" This is how the famously hospitable Greeks welcome you to their table to share their food. And this is the feeling that helps inspire the delicious creations of MEVGAL gourmet cheeses, produced with the sense and pride of sharing them with you. It was with this same sense and pride that we attended the 56th Summer Fancy Food Show at New York City's Javits Center, where we were delighted to be able to offer our delicious goods to the world at such a fabulous event.

This show took place from June 27 through June 29 and was a grand success, drawing over 23,000 attendees from all around the globe, representing over 95 countries. In the midst of all this, MEVGAL was excited to showcase some very special products, including its Feta and Manouri cheeses.

MEVGAL Feta is a pure white cheese that holds an honored place in traditional Hellenic cuisine. Its distinct, tangy flavor has made this cheese an ever-popular, world-wide favorite. It is a common sight to see Greek families gathering around the table to share a plate of delicious Feta, olives, and bread, while toasting each other with wine or beer.

Feta cheese is, of course, the delicious and fundamental cheese of choice, sliced or cubed over classic Greek salads everywhere. But this delicious cheese is not just for Greek style salads. Chefs couple this amazing cheese with an endless array of fresh garden produce such as beets, mushrooms, watermelon, or cranberries, for mouthwatering salads that can satisfy any connoisseur.

MEVGAL Feta has also found its way into scrumptious gourmet recipes that will turn any table into a Mediterranean feast. For ideas and inspiration on how to have the superb taste and aroma of MEVGAL's Feta turn your meals into a gourmet experience, take a look at the recipes page. We have made it easy and fun for you to master wholesome, delicious dishes such as traditional stuffed tomatoes, impressive Greek meat patties called soutzoukakia, or wonderful roasted chicken and pepper pies, all made with tasty and nourishing MEVGAL Feta cheese. Since MEVGAL proudly creates it's Feta with a fresh mix of pure goat and sheep milk, your meals become a healthy resource of calcium and protein.

Food critic B.A. Nilsson from Metroland Online was in attendance at the show and came by to sample MEVGAL's cheeses. As noted in his article, Among the Gourmets, we were elated to read that he was "impressed" with our Feta.

The Summer Fancy Food Show gave MEVGAL the thrilling opportunity to also showcase another true gourmet find in its cheese line, the delicious Manouri. This fresh, creamy cheese is known for its semi-soft, smooth texture and whole-milk richness. On its own, this cheese will melt in your mouth. As a cooking cheese, Manouri is a strong contender for savory pasta and meat recipes as well as for sweet dessert masterpieces.

MEVGAL proudly offers you some marvelous examples of delectable meals with Manouri cheese. Here, you will discover the magic of MEVGAL's Manouri and how to bring the wholesome goodness of this cheese into your cuisine through our simple recipes that bring fancy results. Our inspired ideas for delicious treats such as thin crust pizza, stuffed turkey, and tagliatelle, all with MEVGAL Manouri, will have you fall in epicurean love. And knowing that MEVGAL's Manouri is also rich in vitamin A turns your tasty eating into healthy living.

All in all, MEVGAL was overjoyed to once again participate in the Summer Fancy Food Show and be able to share our gourmet cheeses with the epicurean public. We loved to be able to not only focus on the endless creations using our delicious Feta and Manouri, but to proudly show our entire fresh and healthy cheese product line which also includes Kasseri, Kefalograviera, and Myzithra. The feedback on our new recipes was great and the entire experience was truly rewarding.
