The Mac Maker's Toolkit: Blocks for the Perfect Roux
PRO-TIP: THE MAC MASTERCLASS
The Grate Separation - Never use pre-shredded cheese for your sauce. The anti-caking starches used in bags prevent the cheese from fully bonding with your roux, resulting in a grainy or "sandy" texture. For that iconic, cheese-pull stretch, hand-grate your Yancey’s Fancy blocks directly into the pot. The natural oils will emulsify perfectly into the cream, creating a silky, high-gloss sauce that clings to every noodle.

Frequently Asked Questions About Mac & Cheese
For the best texture, always start with a high-moisture melting cheese like Yancey's Fancy Bergenost or Smoked Gouda as your base. Then, blend in sharper or bolder cheeses (like XXX-Sharp White or Buffalo Wing) for flavor depth.
Grainy cheese sauce is usually caused by using pre-shredded cheese from a bag. Those bags contain anti-caking starches that prevent the cheese from emulsifying smoothly into your roux. Always grate block cheese fresh for a silky sauce.
Our curated kits include a strategic blend of premium artisan wedges—typically balancing ultimate melting cheeses with bold, flavor-infusing cheddars—so you can build the perfect gourmet cheese sauce at home.
