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?

Atalanta announced the launch of a brand-new cheese brand, Cracking Good. The playful, pub-themed line features iconic, high-quality cheeses from the British Isles. 

Elizabeth, N.J.-based Belton Farm, an exclusive Atalanta partner, has launched a re-brand of one of their bestselling products, Red Fox aged Red Leicester, their White Fox White Leicester and Smoked Red Fox. 

Valio USA, a subsidiary of Finland-based Valio Ltd., released four cheese offerings designed to elevate charcuterie boards and home snacking under its Finlandia label, according to the  Parsippany, N.J.-based company which has been producing cheeses and butters with the highest quality natural ingredients for more than a century. 

Producing the finest “artisan cheese for all” in the “Cheese Capital of the World” is pinnacle to success of Sartori Cheese. Founded in 1939, Sartori annually produces such iconic Italian-style cheeses as BellaVitano, MontAmoré, Parmesan and Asiago.

Sartori Co., Plymouth, Wis., added a Reserve Citrus Ginger flavor to its award-winning BellaVitano cheese line and it will be available year-round.

Tillamook, Ore.-based Tillamook released a limited edition 4-year vintage extra-sharp white Cheddar.
