BONITA SPRINGS, Fla. — Mifroma USA has added 7-ounce portions to its Cavern, Gruyere and Emmentaler lines. The company now offers both random-weight and fixed-weight portions of the cheeses.
Paul Schilt, executive vice president, Mifroma USA, says the 7-ounce, exact-weight portions are available for the company’s Cavern cheese, Regular Gruyere AOC, Cavern Cave-Aged Gruyere and Emmentaler varieties.
“The cheeses are conveniently packed eight to a case so we don’t overwhelm retailers by including too much product,” he says. “We offer a great space-saving advantage for any store.”
The company’s exact-weight cheeses are presented in gourmet-style opaque parchment paper packaging, he adds.
“Consumers will love the generous portions of these cheeses,” Schilt says. “By carefully shaving to ensure minimum rind, customers enjoy maximum cheese.”
Schilt adds that the portions are cut straight from traditional Switzerland cheese wheels, including a 200-pound Emmentaler wheel and a 70-pound Gruyere wheel.
“We package an average of 120 tons per day. This includes portions from 150g up to 500g and ¼ and 1/8 wheels.
Mifroma’s range of random-weight cheeses come wrapped and cut in typical formats, with a rounded “pie” shape for Gruyere and a chunky “stick” for Emmentaler.
“The attractive milky film and parchment paper packaging is a distinctive feature of these Mifroma cheeses, and the delicatessen-style cuts distinguish these products from others on the market,” Schilt says. “Consumers will appreciate being able to pick a cheese that suits their needs, whether they require a slightly heavier or slightly lighter block.”
