Burnett Dairy Cooperative recently expanded upon its line of cheese string products with an inventive new flavor that combines cheese and vegetables. The single-serve 'Garden Veggies' string cheese snacks are made with a blend of mozzarella and all-natural vegetables, which results in a snack that's rich in protein. The protein content in this snack is particularly significant because Garden Veggies is a new string cheese flavor from Burnett Dairy that offers a vegetarian alternative to its other flavors like Pepperoni Pizza, Zesty Teriyaki and Hot Pepper Beef.
Since convenience is usually top-of-mind for most consumers, there is a high demand for single-serve dairy products in the form of sticks, slices and shreds. At the same time, vegetables are becoming popular additions to conventional dairy products like cottage cheese and yogurt.
