This Issue: It's All About The Cheese!July 2014
Cheese Platters!
Did you know Fancifull has a full cheese section and can assemble delicious cheese platters with artisan salami, nuts, fruit and more?
We can also deliver it to your home or office!
Why settle for the same old orange cubed bland cheese you get with most trays?

In our shop on Melrose we have Artisan Farmstead Cheeses properly cut by our skilled team and assembled on a platter to impress. Especially popular are our trays with a mix of cow, goat and sheep's milk cheese with FraMani Salami, Almonds, Grapes, fresh bread and crackers.

Comments we get at our gatherings include:
"This is extraordinary!
"What cheese is this?, I love it!"
"Oh wow, this is amazing!"

If you'd like to hear comments like this at your next event, then call us, Fancifull, and we'll put together an inspiring tray for you.

Wouldn't you like a delicious cheese platter like this one for your next event or get together?
Featured Cheese
Central Coast Creamery Goat Gouda
This has long been a Fancifull Favorite. We always sell out of it when we take it to farmers markets. People love the reach creamy mouth feel and the slight sweetness on the end. This is made up in Paso Robles by Reggie Jones.

This rare gouda is made from 100% goat milk sourced from a nearby farm. An additional touch of goat cream is added to give it more flavor. Made in small batches with great care and aged for five or more months, the resulting cheese has an opaque color with a hard, thin, natural rind. With a slightly nutty, sweet flavor and a caramel aroma it makes for a wonderful table cheese.


Supporting American Cheesemakers, with a bit of fondness for our home state makers, is one of our passions at Fancifull. You can buy this cheese from our shop on Melrose, add it to a basket, or have it on one of our cheese platters.

The Big Cheese at The Big Cheese
Terry, The Big Cheese at Fancifull, is heading to Sacramento for the annual American Cheese Society Conference. Besides attending seminars and meeting lots of cheese makers, Terry will be one of the Table Captains at the Festival of Cheese on Friday August 1st. With over 1700 cheeses being served, she will have knife in hand and crew organized so that everything is ready to sample when the doors open at 4:30. The knife is for the cheese, not the crew, or at least she hopes so.

The conference is open to cheese enthusiasts everywhere. Get more information here.

Latest Yelp Review (7/20/14):

"This company is really great. They really went above and beyond for me. I realized after I placed my order that I needed to have it delivered faster than what I had said (the recipients were leaving town!). The people at Fanciful didn't even blink. They said, "Let me see what I can do." And they did it!" - Brandon M.
