Laura Chenel Brings Award-Winning Goat Cheese to 2025 Summer Fancy Food Show; Durae Hardy Comments

Laura Chenel, America’s pioneering goat cheese company, returns to the Summer Fancy Food Show in New York City from June 29 - July 1, 2025, to spotlight a lineup of fan favorites and chef-loved staples at Booth 1060. This year’s selection includes a variety of marinated, fresh, and soft-ripened cheese that exemplify the brand’s commitment to quality, versatility, and flavor.

For decades, Laura Chenel has remained at the forefront of American goat cheese, evolving from its pioneering roots into modern-day kitchens. Made from fresh goat milk in the heart of Sonoma, this year’s show will highlight Laura Chenel’s marinated goat cheese collection, including Thyme & Rosemary, Jalapeño Chili, and Black Truffle. These marinated cheeses are made using goat cheese logs that are sliced into discs and hand-packed with herbs, spices, and a silky olive oil blend, delivering a rich, aromatic experience that effortlessly enhances cheese boards, salads, and casual entertaining. Also on display will be the iconic Chef’s Chèvre, a versatile foodservice staple prized for its smooth texture and vibrant flavor, Creamy Goat Brie, a bright, tangy take on the classic soft-ripened cheese using goats milk, and Mango Habanero fresh goat cheese, a 4 ounce log with a sweet-heat blend of fresh mangos and habanero peppers.
