The results of the Choose Our Next Cheese crowdsourcing campaign from Roth Cheese introduced a new Spinach Artichoke Gouda variety inspired by popular spinach artichoke dip. The cheese offers a new way for Americans to enjoy the classic flavors of spinach and artichoke for a wide range of eating occasions. The rich and savory flavor of the cheese enhances a base of fresh, pasteurized Wisconsin milk and its semi-firm texture is versatile enough to be shredded, consumed as a tip or worked into a variety of meals and snacks. Roth Cheese recommends this cheese to fans of garlic and herb flavored cheeses, Havarti or Monterey jack.
Some of the other flavors of Gouda that were up for consideration as part of the campaign included Chimichurri, Hot Honey and Buffalo Ranch.
