July 22, 2010 | 1 min to read
Bentonville, AR — Cheese is one of the world's favorite foods and Sam's Club is adding more than a dozen internationally acclaimed varieties to its fresh department. Some of the finest artisan cheese products from England, France, Ireland, Italy and Spain will begin to arrive in select Sam's Club locations in August, and in the coming months.
Sam's Club expects to offer the new imported cheeses in more than 150 clubs late this fall. The additional product will include both regular and special seasonal items to complement Sam's Club domestic cheese offering, which includes sliced deli cheese as well as hard and soft cheeses.
"Consumers are hungry for new food products because they are experimenting more with food at home and see it as form of entertainment," said Shawn Baldwin, vice president, Fresh and Deli, Sam's Club. "We have identified some of the highest quality European brands and will be bringing them to the U.S. for the first time. These family owned operations are thrilled to serve Sam's Club members."
Some of the most notable imports include Parmiagiano Reggiano, a prestigious Italian Cheese that is aged for a minimum of two years and the Irish Dairy Board's Ballyshannon Cheddar.
