Hormel’s Applegate Introduces New Sliced and Grated Cheeses

The products are made with a traceable milk pool sourced from pasture-raised cows on independent farms in the US Midwest.

Six new sliced varieties – medium cheddar, provolone, American-style colby, Muenster, pepper jack, and mozzarella – will be brought to the US market this April, with the addition of Swiss slated for 2019. The three new shredded cheese offerings are Italian blend, medium cheddar, and Mexican blend.

Applegate vice president of marketing Nicole Glenn said: “Our mission has been rooted in the idea that food can transform people’s lives – from the farmer who grows it to the person who eats it – and this new cheese line exemplifies that idea.

“The uncompromising standards for this new cheese line support a thriving community of farmers, their cows and the land to produce what we like to call clean, craveable food.”
