Sargento kicked off National Grilled Cheese Month by partnering with three family-owned restaurants in Austin, Texas, to create unique takes on the sandwich, using Sargento Creamery Slices for amazing melt and smooth taste.

The third-generation family company got a head start on National Grilled Cheese Month by travelling down to Austin, Texas with an exclusive grilled cheese food truck hat popped up for one day, and one day only. Sargento partnered with three family-owned restaurants and chefs to share their unique, family-made interpretations of grilled cheese sandwiches using Sargento Creamery Slices as the key ingredient for the perfect melt.

"As a family-owned cheese company, I've seen the creativity and passion that food can inspire firsthand. For years we've been bringing new flavors, varieties, and forms to natural cheese," said Louie Gentine, CEO of Sargento. "Grilled cheese is one of my favorites and, as a dad, I think I've perfected it for my kids and me. I'm excited to try these new takes on grilled cheese from other family businesses in a city known for its food."

Sargento collaborated with fan-favorite, Austin-based restaurants including Black's BBQ, Nixta Taqueria and Tamale House. Each chef served up their own grilled cheese spins and now cheese fanatics anywhere can do the same with Sargento Creamery Slices.
