Saputo Cheese USA Inc. Launches New Items, Value-Added Enhancements To Nikos Brand

RICHFIELD, Wis.– The specialty cheese group of Saputo Cheese USA Inc. (“Saputo Cheese”) is launching seven new specialty cheese items this June. Additionally, a variety of value added enhancements are being unveiled under the Nikos® brand of domestically-produced feta cheeses. All of the new items can be viewed in the company’s booth (#1836) at the Summer Fancy Food Show, June 29 – July 1, in New York City.

The Stella® brand of fine artisan cheeses has been crafted with a rich heritage of Italian cheesemaking using authentic old-world recipes since 1923. The line’s three most recent additions are available in half wheels that have been carefully hand-rubbed with a tantalizing array of herbs and spices in the following varieties: Mediterranean Parmesan, Rosemary Medium Asiago and Black Pepper Romano.

For consumers seeking premium aged Cheddar cheeses, the Black Creek® cheese line now offers a delightful Double Smoked Cheddar cheese as well as a Cheddar Jam Tray featuring a flavorful combination of three-year Cheddar cheese with Orange Marmalade and Raspberry Preserves.

Joan of Arc® goat cheeses are known for their delightfully tangy flavor and fresh aftertaste. The new Goat Cheese Trio includes a complementary collection of Traditional, Tomato Basil and Wild Honey goat cheeses in a beautifully boxed three-pack.

Great Midwest® cheeses are perennial award-winners. The line’s newest offering —the Winners Cheese Flight — includes three of the brand’s most recent American Cheese Society and World Cheese Expo winners (Morel & Leek, Salsa and Habanero flavored Jack cheeses) conveniently packaged in a beautiful box.

A full line of distinctive Mediterranean-style regular, fat free and flavored fetas are offered under the Nikos® brand, keeping dining options fresh and healthy. A series of value-added enhancements has been made to the line, making it even more appealing to consumers. Nikos® cheeses are now rBST-free, certified Halal and shipped via sustainably configured pallets.
