With party season fast approaching, Futura Foods, the UK’s leading supplier of Mediterranean-inspired dairy products, is introducing an authentic new Italian cheese into its range in a bid to help outlets drive incremental sales.
The cheese specialist is launching a new Provolone, a semi-hard, cow’s milk cheese which originates from Southern Italy. With a nutty, slightly piquant taste which intensifies when melted, its versatility makes it a unique and delicious option for sharing boards, starters and mains alike in the run-in to Christmas.
Available in ready-to-bake 100g and 200g rustic clay pots, the cheese’s easy-serve format means busy chefs can create a theatrical dish with the absolute minimum of fuss. A premium serve with a highly profitable price-tag, especially when paired with quality add-ons.
John Steele, National Account Controller, Futura Foods, says: “Cheese has always been popular at Christmas and so this year we have launched our Provolone pots to make it that little bit easier for operators to profit from a versatile festive favourite.
“Try serving with a rocket and rosemary salad garnish and crusty Italian bread for a popular sharing board. Or else simply sprinkle with paprika, chilli powder and basil for an easy and impressive starter. For the more adventurous, a provolone soufflé with porcini mushrooms and pea purée makes for a premium main that’s also suitable for vegetarians.”
Provolone pots are supplied in 100g and 200g formats and are available from selected wholesalers.
