Spicy Shredded Cheeses

Sargento Created Shreds with Cholula, Frank's RedHot & McCormick

Enhancing homemade meals with cheese shreds creates a creamy, melty richness, while a hint of spice adds depth and contrast, and Sargento collaborated to create a series of spicy shredded cheeses that naturally add a kick to everything from pizza and garlic bread to pasta.

The lineup created in partnership with McCormick, Cholula, and Frank's RedHot looks to some of consumers' favorite sauces, spices, and seasonings to enhance dishes prepared at home. While the Sargento McCormick Mozzarella & Parmesan Shredded Cheeses with Crushed Red Pepper melts effortlessly and delivers just the right amount of spice, the Sargento Frank’s Red Hot Cheddar, Colby Jack, and American Shredded Cheeses with Cayenne Pepper Seasoning promises to pair perfectly with nachos, mac n' cheese and more.
