Blue Cheese-Stuffed Olives

Shaft's Cheese & Co. Debuts the Blue Cheese Stuffed Olives Retail Pack

— February 28, 2023 — Lifestyle
Shaft's Cheese has launched the new 'Blue Cheese Stuffed Olives.' Made with jumbo California queen olives, this delicious snack offers flavors of tangy blue cheese and pairs perfectly with a martini or as a small treat. Customers may conveniently enjoy the olives at home or on the road thanks to the retail pack's handy resealable bag. Moreover, they have a 120-day shelf life when refrigerated, allowing consumers to get the most out of one pack.

"We're always looking for ways to innovate and bring new, delicious products to our customers," said John Gibson, one of the Owners of Shaft's Cheese. "Our new blue cheese stuffed olives are a hit with cheese lovers and olive lovers alike, and we can't wait for everyone to try them."
