Just as there are single-serve yogurt containers with attachments for adding fruit, nuts and an assortment of other toppings, Valio developed a similar style of packaging for its cottage cheese containers.
The premium line of cottage cheese snacks is designed to be ultra portable for on-the-go snacking. There are two types of topping available: sweet dried Fruit or savory Root Vegetables. The Fruit option contains an indulgent mix of dried candied pineapples, papayas, seeds, and berries, while the Root Vegetable toppings include pieces of beetroot, parsnip, grilled peppers, onions, in addition to sunflower and pumpkin seeds.
Convenience, portability and customization are all important to consumers, and being provided with the framework for experimentation with flavor is just as enticing. These major selling points converge in these cottage cheese containers from Valio.
