MarDona Specialty Foods 855.645.7772 www.mardonausa.com Black Truffle Marinara Sauce from MarDona Specialty Foods Roth ® Buttermilk Blue ® is hand- crafted in small batches with raw milk from Jersey and Holstein cows and cellar-aged for more than two months. As the name sug- gests, Buttermilk Blue is made with milk featuring a higher butterfat con- tent, resulting in a smoother, creamier texture than other blue cheese. Deli- cately laced with blue-gray veins that run almost to the edge of the cheese, Buttermilk Blue fea- tures a pronounced aroma and tangy, yet mellow flavor, making it an easy choice for cooking, crumbling over salads or serving on a cheese board. Buttermilk Blue has won nu- merous honors at top cheese competitions, including the World Cheese Championship, U.S. Champion Cheese Contest and World Cheese Awards. B u t t e r m i l k Blue is part of a larger family of blue cheeses, including Roth Buttermilk Gor- gonzola, Buttermilk Blue Affinée and Moody Blue™. Buttermilk Blue is available to retailers nationwide. Emmi Roth 608.285.9800 www.emmiroth.com/roth Roth Buttermilk Blue a Spring Favorite In 1115 A.D., a unique, savory cheese was discovered in west- ern Switzerland, a region with rolling fields, scenic mountains and a ma- jestic castle. This place, Gruyères, is the origin of the only true Le Gruyère AOP, with the unrivaled quality and flavor known around the world for more than 900 years. Today, Gruyère AOP is made in 170 small batches, with the raw milk of cows that are sustained in local fields, and no additives or preservatives – it is 100 percent natural. The same recipe is used from nine centuries ago, and the maturation is completed in local cellars and caves under strict supervision. As such, Le Gruyère AOP is still tightly linked with the local, long-held traditions and terroir of the re- gion. Each taste of Le Gruyère AOP is a unique expe- rience, cen- turies in the making. Gruyère AOP is 100 percent natural, 100 percent additive free, and naturally free of lactose and gluten, as it has been since it was first produced in 1115 AD.

It showcases Klondike's masterfully crafted cheese with Greek-inspired im- agery, emphasizing the authentic Greek tradition used by Klondike's six mas- ter cheese makers. Klondike's all- natural, gluten-free, rBST-free Odyssey Feta Cheese is firm yet crumbly, tangy and salty to the taste but never bitter. Its unique flavor pairs well with all types of food, from pizzas to sal- ads to Mediterranean-inspired dishes. Having the 4-ounce crumbled size allows retailers and cus- tomers to experience the feta cheese at a great price point. It is an added value for the customer who may only need a smaller amount of feta. Keeping the same look as the 6-ounce Odyssey Crumbled Feta, the 4-ounce container will be available in all the fla- vors currently offered. Odyssey's high standards of quality show, as the tradi- tional flavor took first place at the 2017 U.S. Cheese Championship, and Odyssey Low Fat Feta took second place at the 2017 Ameri- can Cheese Society Judging and Competition.

This product's famous butter cream re- tention delivers a flavor that is truly artisan. It's won them many awards over the years, but they're always striving for greater excel- lence. Formaggio is now pre-slicing much of its product line. Arguably, the company's most welcomed change is the decision to pre-slice and shingle its 14-ounce fresh mozzarella log and to include, in the MULTIVAC package, a packet of imported balsamic glaze. Add a little fresh basil and sliced tomato and you're at a picnic – no slicing required. Most foodies will agree that an exquisite balsamic glaze is often the accompaniment to so many oft-served fresh mozzarella dishes. Having the convenience of this delicious glaze packet included with delicious, creamy fresh mozzarella – pre-sliced and shin- gled like dominoes – is not only attractive in its new package, but it's a real time-saver, too. The easy-to-serve cheese medallions are a breeze to remove from the easy-peel pack, so if you're lunching in the park, then you don't have to concern your- self with carrying the aforementioned cutlery, having the cutting board on hand, etc. Plus, the inclusion of the im- ported balsamic glaze means you don't have to schlep any extra product along with you. Formag- gio Brand has made it easy by taking care of it for you. Formaggio Brand 845.436.4200 www.formaggiocheese.com Formaggio Brand Sliced Fresh Mozzarella with Balsamic Glaze Included
