Chicago, IL – June 1, 2026 – Caputo Cheese, a leading manufacturer of award-winning Fresh Mozzarella and Hard Italian cheeses, is bringing the heat to IDDBA (International Dairy Deli Bakery Association) on June 7 to 9 in Orlando, FL. Presenting its Brazilian-inspired Grilling Cheese, Caputo Cheese will showcase rich global flavors at booth #2032.
Perfect for summer, Caputo’s Grilling Cheese is a cow’s milk cheese inspired by the traditions of Latin and South America. The cheese has a buttery flavor with delicate saltiness and a savory finish. When seared or grilled, it resists melting, developing a browned, crisp exterior with a pleasantly chewy interior. This cheese is ideal for incorporating into salads, hot sandwiches, or as a distinctive protein alternative. It is perfect for those looking to expand their cheese-repertoire.
Frank Belfiore, Vice President Marketing & Retail Sales at Caputo Cheese comments, “We’re incredibly excited to connect with the IDDBA community and introduce our Brazilian-inspired Grilling Cheese to attendees. What makes this product so special is its ability to deliver bold flavor, a uniquely satisfying texture, and remarkable versatility across a wide range of different cuisines. We look forward to bringing the sizzle to IDDBA and sharing the passion and possibilities behind this exciting product.”
