The Sartori Cheese Jalapeño Ranch Cheese Bites are an artisan-style cheese product that tackles a number of key consumer preference points to work well for today's discerning shopper.
The product starts off with the brand's Old World Cheddar for the base and is paired with creamy ranch flavor with jalapeño inclusion to deliver a touch of heat. The cheese bites come packaged in individual servings with a 0.75-ounce size and come in packs of six to work well for enjoyment during sporadic snacking occasions to portioned snacks between meals. The prepackaged profile of the cheese means it doesn't require any utensils for enjoyment to work seamlessly for out of the home enjoyment.
CEO Bert Sartori spoke on the Sartori Cheese Jalapeño Ranch Cheese Bites saying, "Consumers are looking for snacks that feel satisfying, flavorful and easy to take along, and Jalapeño Ranch Cheese Bites deliver all three. This new flavor brings a little boldness to everyday snacking while staying rooted in the cheese craftsmanship Sartori has been elevating for generations.”
