Creaminess of Nutty, Norwegian Jarlsberg Highlights the Fruitiness of Company's Own English-style Lamar St. Ale to Help Celebrate Dad on His Day
AUSTIN, Texas, June 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Whole Foods Market (NASDAQ:WFMI), the world's leading natural and organic foods supermarket, is proud to announce the return of the beloved Jarlsberg cheese, which will be available in June at stores company-wide just in time for Father's Day backyard barbecues. Jarlsberg (pronounced Yarls-berg) is a semi-firm Norwegian cheese that is Emmentaler in style and made from part skim cow's milk.
Jarlsberg Returns For five years, Jarlsberg wedges, a longtime customer-favorite, were absent from Whole Foods Market cheese departments because the maker began using a preservative that did not meet Whole Foods Market's strict quality standards. "We worked hard to advocate the removal of the preservative because Jarlsberg is such a special cheese that is incredibly popular with our shoppers," said Cathy Strange, Whole Foods Market Global Cheese Buyer. "We are pleased to welcome back an all-natural Jarlsberg with the same delicious taste." Handsome Pairings for Dad Jarlsberg is an ideal snack cheese that also makes a tasty sandwich and burger topper. The cheese pairs perfectly with Whole Foods Market's very own Lamar Street Pale Ale. The creaminess of the cheese highlights the fruitiness of this English-style ale, making a wonderful pairing for Dad.
"Jarlsberg is the perfect cheese to accompany a backyard barbecue for Father's Day. Create a new experience by melting the nutty, Swiss-style Jarlsberg slices over burgers to create the ultimate Jarlsberger," said Strange. "And here's another plus, Whole Foods Market cheesemongers will slice a piece that is just right for you. We invite you to come in and taste this wildly popular crowd favorite." Here are a few more Jarlsberg recipe ideas: -- Shaved over roasted new potatoes
-- Melted into or on top of omelets
-- Grated into a ham and mushroom frittata
-- Cubed in a cold vegetable primavera pasta salad
-- Baked in a warm onion cheese party dip
-- Rolled up with deli ham or turkey slices for a quick snack
-- Layered on a burger for a great Jarlsberger!
