Lifeway Foods Inc.'s Farmer Cheese will now be distributed to 1,400 Albertsons stores across the United States.

Lifeway Farmer Cheese is a cultured soft cheese made with Lifeway Foods' small batch, artisanal recipe. It has a flavor and texture similar to blended cottage cheese, spreads like cream cheese, and has the added benefits of protein and probiotics. It's made with 12 live and active probiotics, 15g of protein per serving, bioavailable nutrients, and is high in calcium. Plus, it's up to 99% lactose-free, gluten-free, and contains no added salt, making it lower in sodium than many cottage cheese varieties.

"Demand for high protein and probiotic foods is soaring, and we are thrilled to expand distribution of our probiotic Farmer Cheese through this partnership with Albertsons," said Lifeway President and CEO Julie Smolyansky. "Farmer Cheese is one of our cult favorite products that we've offered since Lifeway's inception, and it only continues to grow in popularity thanks to its delicious flavor and incredible benefits. We've seen increased interest thanks to popular social posts from amazing farmer cheese advocates like Bethenny Frankel and viral recipes using blended cottage cheese. Farmer cheese saves a step for everyone seeking an elevated cottage cheese upgrade with a smooth consistency, bioavailable protein and probiotic benefits."
