Kraft Natural Cheese, a brand of Lactalis USA, has expanded its product line with the introduction of Kraft Flavor Fusions. This new range includes three block cheese varieties that combine different flavors to enhance both cooking and snacking experiences. The Flavor Fusions line is available in 7-ounce blocks and features Garlic & Herb Cheddar, Buffalo Ranch Monterey Jack, and Tomato Basil Monterey Jack. These cheeses are designed to be versatile, allowing consumers to slice or shred them for use in various recipes or enjoy them as standalone snacks.
In terms of pricing and availability, the Kraft Flavor Fusions are currently available at select retail locations, including Meijer, Hy-Vee, Food Lion, and ShopRite stores. The company has plans to expand retail availability later this year. As for the cost, the prices may vary by retailer; however, some online sources have listed the Garlic & Herb Cheddar variety at a member price of $4.19, down from $6.79, for a 7-ounce block. Another source has it priced at $3.99. Consumers can expect similar pricing for the other flavors in the range.
