Leerdammer Mini Cubes have been added to the brand's portfolio by Lactalis UK & Ireland as a cheese product that responds to the changing preferences of consumers. The cheese product is targeted towards adults and families alike, and boasts a cubic composition that's ready to be enjoyed right from the pouch or served as part of a charcuterie spread. The cheese thus responds to the popularity of snacking, grazing and sharing preferences, and will make it easier for consumers to enjoy the mild, nutty flavor of the product with zero preparation required.
Group Marketing Director at Lactalis UK & Ireland Héloïse Le Norcy-Trott commented on the Leerdammer Mini Cubes saying, "Cheese snacking is becoming an increasingly important part of the category, as shoppers look for products that balance convenience, quality and great taste. Leerdammer Mini Cubes bring our distinctive mild, nutty flavour into a new format designed for everyday grazing and sharing occasions. As well as extending Leerdammer beyond slices, the launch gives retailers a compelling branded proposition in a growing part of the fixture."
