At this year's International Dairy-Deli-Bakery Association expo, BelGioioso Cheese introduced two new products that show off protein from cheese: the Power-Full Snack and Snacking Rolls.
The Power-Full Snack takes the form of individually wrapped, 80-calorie rounds of Parmesan cheese, each of which boasts seven grams of protein. Alongside this new snack, the brand also unveiled its Snacking Rolls, which feature a blend of provolone cheese and genoa salami, which are packaged in single-serve packs that provide satiety with 10 grams of protein.
As many health-conscious consumers are now looking to supplement the amount of protein in their diets through snacks, a number of on-the-go products are being launched with an emphasis on calling out protein content. While there are plenty of plant-based snacks that have been developed with a focus on protein, there are just as many charcuterie-inspired snacks being launched at the same time.
