At the Winter Fancy Food Show in Las Vegas, Cypress Grove debuted Olive & Herb, a fresh goat cheese blended with green olives and a hint of rosemary. The bold and savory Olive & Herb cheese from Cypress Grove boasts long-lasting freshness and is ready to spread over bagels, elevate charcuterie boards, crumble over salads, or nibble on its own.
"Olive & Herb is our way of inviting you to experience something fresh, exciting, and unapologetically bold, but also still cheese-forward," said Christy Khattab, Marketing Director at Cypress Grove, "It’s a flavor explosion that captures the essence of California cuisine which borrows heavily from the Mediterranean along with the creamy texture and clean flavors we’re known for."
