Meat and cheese are companions that often come together for a range of meals throughout the day, but Micarna introduced a product that fuses them for snacking like never before.
The 'Meat & Cheese Candies' feature alternating red and white layers of Canton Graubünden's air-cured beef and Alpine cheese. Rather than being like a sweet candy in the traditional sense, these candies are more like bite-size savory appetizers that are already pre-sliced and ready to enjoy.
Micarna may be a meat producer, but it's far from a conventional one. One other new product from the brand is a line of Chicken Gelati aperitifs, proving that Micarna is a brand that has plenty of fun experimenting with form as well as flavor.
