Saputo-owned cheese brand Montchevre has unveiled its all-new line of sweet and creamy goat cheese flavors, which are set to be released this week at major retailers. The new offerings include a 'Hibiscus Cherry Goat Cheese Log,' and a complete line of 'Topped Goat Cheese,' which to start will consist of two flavors: 'Roasted Red Peppers' and 'Cranberry and Port.'
The new Hibiscus Cherry Goat Cheese Log is described as delivering a sweet yet tart taste with flavors that are reminiscent of sangria. The cheese is meant to be paired with champagne, white wine, or prosecco, as well as nuts and berries.
“As hibiscus is the flavor of the summer, we’re thrilled to introduce it in our famous goat cheese log, as the tartness of the flavor really cuts through the tanginess of our goat cheese, making it a natural flavor pairing,” said Saputo USA’s executive chef and senior manager of culinary and sensory, Nikki Trzeciak.
