A welcome sight on a long stretch of Route 5, at 857 Main Road in Corfu, is
Kutter’s Cheese Factory Store. Epicures, bus loads of tourists, wine lovers,
cheese tasters and other customers make regular stops at the retail shop because
they like what it offers.
The variety is impressive. Blocks of Swiss cheese, wheels of jack cheese,
spreads, curds, cheesecakes, specialty cheeses like Stilton with lemon or
double-cream Spanish cheddar, crackers, cranberry horseradish sauce, New York
maple syrup, eggs, fresh local apples, hot mustard, bologna and more.
The success of Kutter’s Cheese Factory Store and its positive impact on local
agriculture are why it is being honored Saturday by the Genesee County Chamber
of Commerce as Agriculture Business of the Year for 2009.
It is also a “satellite winery” of Hunt Country Wines and carries its New York
wines exclusively. Wine sales at stores offering local farm and dairy products
are allowed under New York Department of Agriculture and Markets law. In fact,
at one time, dairymen grew grapes for vintners to augment their income.
