NORTHFIELD, IL — Kraft Foodservice is excited to announce its partnership between Philadelphia Cream Cheese and award-winning chef Stephanie Izard, Executive Chef of Girl & The Goat and Little Goat Diner.
Chef Izard is known for her farm-to-table, nose-to-tail menus and her curiosity in knowing where her ingredients are sourced. She prides herself on real, authentic ingredients that set her menu apart. For example, Izard prefers Philadelphia Cream Cheese not only for its flavor but because it is made from locally sourced fresh milk and wholesome cream, with no artificial flavors. Chef Izard uses approximately 250 pounds of Philadelphia Cream Cheese at Little Goat Diner each week, delivering great flavor into her schmears, dips, sandwiches and more.
To kick off the relationship, the Kraft Foodservice team brought Izard to Lowville, NY, one of the places where Philadelphia Cream Cheese is sourced and made. Chef Izard experienced firsthand how Kraft ensures the highest standards of flavor and authenticity. Touring a 4th generation farm, one of many independent family-operated farms in the Lowville area that supply milk to the local Philadelphia Cream Cheese plant*, Izard saw their approach to consistently procure an award-winning, quality milk supply. To complete the journey, Izard moved just 5 miles down the road to the largest Philadelphia production facility to get a behind-the-scenes look at the development and prideful employees responsible for turning locally sourced milk into one million pounds of delicious cream cheese each day. Philadelphia Cream Cheese goes from the farm to the creamery’s fridge in just six days.
