RICHFIELD, Wis. — Saputo Cheese USA Inc. (Saputo) is pleased to introduce a variety of new specialty cheese offerings under the Joan of Arc® brand, a tantalizing line of premium French favorites. These cheeses and the line's other offerings will be available starting this month in newly redesigned packaging. The Joan of Arc® brand, which is celebrating its 95th anniversary, is available exclusively through Saputo's specialty cheese group and can be found in select retailers nationwide.
Joan of Arc® brie is the oldest trademarked French brie in the United States; it has been imported since 1918. The five new Joan of Arc® products expand upon decades of tradition, bringing consumers a variety of lavish double and triple creme brie options as well as two flavor-infused double creme brie cheeses. These new products nicely complement the broad line which also includes plain and flavored chevres and Roquefort, among others.
"The Joan of Arc® brand has been a classic staple in kitchens throughout America since 1918," says Katie Jury, Marketing Manager for Saputo's specialty cheese brands. "In honor of the line's 95th anniversary, we're giving the product packaging a refreshing makeover to better communicate the brand's high quality, premium offerings."
The redesigned product packaging gracefully presents the line's premium specialty cheese offerings with fresh, richly-colored labels. Product attributes like "decadently creamy and buttery" are given prominent placement on the new packaging. Similarly, serving suggestions and beverage pairings are also more clearly conveyed.
Retailers interested in purchasing the new Joan of Arc® items can contact a Saputo sales representative by e-mail at moreinfo@saputo.com or by phone at 1.800.782.0741.
