Kaukauna Port Wine Spreadable Cheese is ready to serve directly from its packaging. For best flavor and texture, allow it to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving. It can be spread easily onto a variety of crackers, baguette slices, or celery sticks. It also pairs wonderfully with fresh fruits like grapes and apples, or dried fruits such as apricots. For a more elaborate presentation, it can be shaped into a cheese ball and rolled in chopped nuts or herbs.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike firm cheeses, this product is designed to be spreadable right out of the refrigerator. The addition of port wine gives it a unique sweet and slightly alcoholic note that distinguishes it from plain cream cheese or cheddar spreads. Its texture is smoother and more consistent than many aged cheeses.
Who it is for
Home cooks and entertainers who enjoy flavorful, easy-to-serve cheese options will appreciate this product.
