These new Clawson Farms cheese truckles have been announced by the UK-based brand as a series of products that build on its 100 year history to provide consumers with a delicious option to try out.
The range includes six options in all that consist of Red Leicester, Cheddars and Wensleydales, depending on the variety. Each of the products are characterized by their flavor-forward profile that incorporates sweet to savory ingredients to further increase the complexity of every bite. The cheeses are also each branded with their own cartoon-style mascot on the front to further create a theme.
Managing Director Bill Matthieson spoke on the new Clawson Farms cheese truckles saying, "We are bringing to the sector something original in terms of taste and premium in terms of quality. There is more browsing and tasting time in local delis where shoppers are happy to discover new flavours. Traditionally truckles have been bought for special occasions and gifts, but our insight shows that more people are now buying them to enjoy as a treat for themselves."
