Cheesemakers didn’t always have access to plastic packaging materials. It wasn’t until after World War II that plastic packaging became popular in the dairy industry. So, what did cheesemakers do before that?

In celebration of August being National Goat Cheese Month, LaClare Creamery, Malone, Wis., is expanding its fresh goat cheese line with three new flavor varieties: Chili Lime, Mediterranean, and a seasonally available Pumpkin.

Roth Cheese, Fitchburg, Wis., announced that it has added three new flavors to its Gouda line, including Spinach Artichoke, Hot Honey and Buffalo Ranch that were voted on by consumers as part of the brand’s “pick your favorite flavor” contest.

Today’s consumers have returned to some pre-pandemic eating habits such as convenience — and also are embracing new ones they’re finding on TikTok and other social media platforms. 

The goat cheeses are sold in in 4-ounce chèvre logs.

The four flavors include horseradish and bacon and jalapeno.

With more than two-thirds of households purchasing flavored cheese and over 283 million pounds sold in 2016 alone, there is no denying that this category is generating a lot of interest. In fact, nearly 300 new flavored cheese products were added to the market last year, flaunting flavors such as jalapeño, smoked, herb, pimento, taco, berry, alcohol, bacon, citrus and coffee.

Cheese Fusions, produced by Norseland Inc., Darien, Conn., is a new flavored cheese snack sold in individual pouches.
