The Jacks were introduced in November 2004 and, according to the company, consumers have responded very well to them. The Portabella Garlic Jack has particularly caught the attention of cheese aficionados. "An assistant cheese buyer at a major distributor grated New Country Farms' Portabella Garlic Jack onto a pizza for a weekend party with friends and told us afterward, ‘It's the best cheese I've ever tasted; We loved it!'" says Steve Wise, g.m. "Every time our cheeses are sampled in stores, they fly out of the deli case. At Corti Brothers Market in Sacramento, 84 8-oz blocks sold on a recent Saturday during a demo. People who try it, like it.
"We will continue to expand our line with best-in-class new cheeses to satisfy the demand from retail buyers and consumers for delicious, high-quality natural cheeses," says Wise.
