5 Highest Quality Cheeses in America

1. 1916

Company: Wegmans

1916 is a cave-ripened aged goat cheese. It is called 1916 to commemorate the year Wegmans was founded. The cheese has a velvety, fudgy texture and extremely delicious rind. Wegmans, a family-owned company started by the Wegman brothers in Rochester, New York, takes a unique approach to making cheese. They get artisan cheeses and then age or improve them in their Wegmans Cheese Caves. These are modern 12,300 sq. ft. buildings with a special area for Brie cheeses and seven “caves” for developing soft and washed-rind cheeses to delightful ripeness.
