British dairy exporter Somerdale International has claimed to have launched the first fully accredited, non-GMO verified British cheese.
The Cromwell double gloucester with chives and onions has been specifically created by Somerdale and combines the creamy texture and rounded taste of double gloucester cheese with the tang of chives and onions. Cromwell will be launched at the start of August in the US and will be initially stocked on an exclusive basis across the country in Whole Foods Market.
Developed in response to growing consumer demand for non-GMO foods, especially in the US, the cheese is expected to be the first in a range of non-GMO cheeses.
Alan Jenkins, director of Somerdale International, commented: “Across the world and particularly in the United States we are seeing increased interest and concern amongst consumers about what the food they eat contains and how it is produced. In line with this, there is a growing demand for non-GMO products and Cromwell, our new independently accredited great tasting British cheese, responds to this by providing a credible non-GMO choice.
“Our launch of a non-GMO cheese is a good example of how Somerdale is committed to developing products that add value and are tailored to meet the requirements of a diverse range of international market places. We firmly believe that our ability to offer to our US customers and their consumers the first of what will become a range of non-GMO cheeses will reinforce further our position as the leading exporter of British cheeses to the states.”
