Premium Aged Cheddar Proves that Exceptional Taste Takes Time
Lactalis Culinary brings over 130 years of tradition and expertise to its list of high quality cheese brands with its newest brand, Black Diamond Cheddar. The foodservice manufacturer recently introduced the premium aged cheddar which is known for its quality ingredients and careful aging process that slowly brings out the finest characteristics of taste, texture and appearance.
Established in 1881, Black Diamond Cheddar is made from the highest quality milk that provides a sharp, superior tasting cheese full of flavor. Aged 1-3 years, the cheddar is available in a variety of formats including portion, sliced, spread, wedge, shred, loaf, print and block.
“Consumers’ appetites are maturing and they want more than traditional processed cheeses. They want premium, interesting flavor and texture,” said Diane Austin, Director of Marketing at Lactalis Culinary. “Black Diamond Cheddar is the perfect ingredient for operators wanting to provide something elevated on top of burgers and sandwiches to transform traditional into premium.”
Black Diamond Cheddar starts with fresh cow’s milk that creates distinctive complex flavors and exceptional taste and texture, and is then safely heat treated as part of the curing process. As the cheese ages, additional flavors develop and enhance the overall cheddar taste becoming increasingly sharper, saltier and dramatically more crumbly in texture. Black Diamond Cheddar aged 1-3 years is available to foodservice operators now. Exceptional aged cheddar takes time, so Black Diamond Cheddar aged four years will be available in 2014, and aged five years will be available in 2015.
Lactalis Culinary will bring Black Diamond Cheddar samples right to the customer in eight ounce portions of sliced and wedged formats. Subject to qualification, foodservice operators can sign up for the sample program at http://www.lactalisculinary.com/sample.
