Sargento introduces specialty cheeses

*US cheese maker Sargento Foods has announced new arrivals in the specialty cheese category with the release of a new series of Artisan Blends cheeses. *

The new line features a mingling of high quality Sargento cheese with flavourful, hand crafted artisan cheese to create a unique blend that allows any at home cook to “embrace the art of cheese”.

Sargento Artisan Blends selections are available in six shredded varieties, which include unique twists on Parmesan, Parmesan & Romano, whole milk mozzarella, whole milk mozzarella & provolone, double Cheddar and Swiss blend.

“Research has shown us that more than half of American consumers are purchasing specialty cheese on a regular basis,” said Michael G Vaszily, Sargento Senior Core Marketing Manager – Shredded Cheese.

“Artisan Blends meets that demand in a way that brings together our own commitment to excellence and passion for cheese with the rich tradition of old-world craftsmanship.”

Each artisan cheese maker that contributed to the development of Sargento Artisan Blends was selected in recognition of their own passion for cheese and commitment to the highest standards of flavour. * Trendy Cheddar*

In addition to the Artisan Blends selection, Sargento has also introduced Sargento Limited Edition Pasture Grazed Cheddar developed through a partnership with two specially selected dairy farms in Southwest Wisconsin, clearly responds to the market. According to the US National Restaurant Association, pasture grazed foods were one of the top 20 culinary trends of 2007.
