DCI Cheese Company's Prepared Food Division Launches Two New Goldy's Cheese Spreads

Santa Rosa, CA – DCI Cheese Company's Prepared Food Division is launching two new Goldy's Handcrafted Cheese Spreads this June. US consumers have responded favorably to Goldy's Spreads, with the line being the fastest growing brand (+103% vs. a year ago) among the top 20 cheese spread competitors in 2006*.

The new Goldy's Cheese Spread flavors are Mediterranean Olive and Sweet Peppadew Pepper with Feta Cheese. A Peppadew is a sweet piquante pepper that is grown exclusively in South Africa. Unlike other red pepper varieties, the Peppadew has a complex sweet/savory taste. DCI Cheese Company has an exclusive agreement to market this product as an ingredient in the cheese spread category in the U.S. In the 2nd half of 2007, DCI will also be re-releasing two of Goldy's holiday spreads that are back by popular demand, Cranberry Walnut and Spiced Pumpkin.

Besides the new additions and the special limited-time holiday flavors, Goldy's has enjoyed great success with their tried and true cheese spreads that come in the following 8 flavors:

  • Habanero Jack with Roasted Peppers
  • Smoked Salmon with Dill
  • Roasted Garlic with Fine Herbs
  • Double Crème with Crab and Grilled Artichoke
  • Smoked Mozzarella with Slow Roasted Tomatoes
  • Swiss with Portobello Mushroom
  • Caramelized Onions
  • White Cheddar Bacon Chive

DCI credits much of their growth to their original pledge of offering wholesome food products with fresh, "real" ingredients for discerning customers. Goldy's Handcrafted Cheese Spreads maintain a fresh, natural taste due to a special cold processing method of production. Each spread is handcrafted from a cultured cheese base, and the addition of fresh herbs, vegetables and other ingredients. Because each Goldy's spread is a freshly-made product, the shelf life ranges from 62-75 days. Goldy's Spreads come in 8.5 oz. packages, which is 30% more than other brands' 6.5 oz. size.
