Lactalis UK & Ireland has expanded its Seriously Spreadable range with the launch of a black pepper-flavoured cheese spread.

The new spread features a blend of 50% cheddar and "a pinch" of black pepper for added flavour. It's versatile for use on bread, crackers, bagels, baked potatoes or mixed into pasta.

Available in fully recyclable packaging, the Black Pepper Cheese Spread is suitable for vegetarians and joins other flavours in the range, including Original, Lighter, Vintage, Chilli, Caramelised Onion and Smokey.

Heloise Le Norcy-Trott, group marketing director for Lactalis UK & Ireland, said: “We want to bring excitement to the category through new flavours – and our new Seriously Spreadable Black Pepper Cheese Spread, which brings a combination of our signature tasty cheddar and black pepper, does just that, creating another delicious addition to the range."

"The black pepper flavour tested very well among consumers, with 76% finding black pepper to be very appealing.”

Seriously Spreadable Black Pepper Cheese Spread is available at Sainsbury’s stores for an RRP of £1.95.
