PURCHASE, N.Y. – Parrano®, the Dutch cheese imported by Best Cheese Corporation, is launching a new all natural snack-sized product in 2015. Parrano Snack Bites will debut at the Winter Fancy Food Show and be available in grocery stores across the country in Summer 2015.
Consumer snacking habits continue to grow within the grocery and dining industries. A survey conducted by Nielsen reported that 91 percent of people snack at least once a day. Parrano continues to be Best Cheese’s biggest seller for its versatility and bold flavor so a snack-sized product was a natural evolution for the brand.
“As we researched how to enter the snacking category, we knew we couldn’t lose with the Parrano brand,” said Steve Margarites, President of Best Cheese Corporation. “Parrano Snack Bites allow consumers to elevate their every day snacking routines and enjoy their favorite cheese in a convenient, on-the-go package.”
The Parrano Snack Bite is an individually wrapped .75 OZ piece of cheese that and can be found in the specialty cheese section in retailers such as Kroger and Whole Foods. Parrano Snack Bite’s SRP is .99 cents.
Parrano is an unforgettable cheese with a distinctly Italian temperament. It has the alluring nutty flavor and buttery aroma of a fine aged Parmigiano-Reggiano with the smooth creamy texture of a young Dutch Gouda. Aged to perfection, Parrano Snack Bites are sure to become the new go-to snack for cheese and snack lovers.
Parrano® will be showcasing the new product at the Winter Fancy Food Show, the West Coast’s largest specialty food and beverage trade show, in San Francisco, Jan. 11-13, 2015. Parrano Snack Bites will be available in grocers nationwide in Summer 2015.
