Champignon North America introduces feta-style tray-bake cheese
The award-winning Rougette Bonfire marinated cheese is now available nationwide in a ready-to-cook pan for the oven, grill or broiler.
Englewood, N.J.-based Champignon North America — the exclusive importer of specialty cheeses produced by Bavaria, Germany-headquartered Käserei Champignon — introduced Rougette Bonfire marinated cheese to the U.S. market. The cheese is the first feta-style specialty cheese offering consumers an easy, ready-to-cook version of the ever-popular (and viral) baked feta, the company says. Made with 100% cow's milk sourced from the Alpine region of Bavaria, it comes with a convenient aluminum tray for easy preparation and serving.
Far less salty than traditional feta, Rougette Bonfire marinated cheese boasts a pillowy soft interior and a caramelized crust. It comes pre-marinated and retains its shape after cooking, leading to a plethora of unique uses, Champignon North America says. It can be used as an alternative to traditional feta in oven-baked recipes, as well as threaded onto skewers, diced and added to salads and pastas, or served as a hot melted dip to share with a crowd.
