Located in Stephentown, NY, Four Fat Fowl is run by a family of self-described maniacal cheese lovers. Four Fat Foul reflects a commitment to making locally-sourced, handcrafted cheeses of the finest quality.
The Cheese Traveler, located in Albany, is a purveyor of fine, hand-crafted domestic and imported traditional cheeses, charcuterie (cured meats), sandwiches, pantry items, and local organic meats in a European-style cheese setting. All cheese and charcuterie can be tasted before purchase and is cut to order by knowledgeable cheese mongers.
A longtime professor from the Culinary Institute of America, John Fischer is the author of Kitchen Pro Series: Guide to Cheeses Identification, Classification, and Utilization. It is a very handy guide to purchasing and utilizing cheese for professional chefs, foodservice personnel, culinarians, and food enthusiasts.
