The third-generation, family-owned company known for crafting real, natural cheeses is asking parents to “Make the Switch” from traditional lunch snack kits to an option that delivers what today’s families want: quality ingredients, a good source of protein, and convenient combinations kids will actually look forward to eating.

Erin Price, General Manager of Consumer Products for Sargento, discusses the brand's new line of spicy cheeses, which include Smoky Hot Colby-Jack, and Carolina Reaper Jack.

Sargento announced it has expanded its natural cheese lineup with two new product lines:  Sargento Hot & Spicy Sliced Cheeses and Sargento Balanced Breaks Cheese + Crunch Mixes. 

Cincinnati-based Graeter’s Ice Cream has won the first-ever Dairy Foods Product of the Year for its Skyline Spice Ice Cream. The award honors the best new dairy product introduced from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025.

The 2024 Real Impact Report highlights milestones such as the 2,848 hours of company-led community service, which is nearly twice the volunteerism of 2023.

The award winner will be determined by readers of the magazine and website. A total of 15 products have been nominated for Product of the Year.

Overall, it has been a strong past 52 weeks for cheese, especially when looking at the natural cheese category. There were some pockets of weakness however, mainly the processed cheese and grated cheese subcategories, according to Chicago-based market research firm Circana’s data for the 52 weeks ending Jan. 26.

Sargento introduced three new products: Sargento Natural American Cheese –100% natural cheese; Sargento Seasoned Shredded Cheese – bold and flavorful blends in collaboration with flavor company McCormick & Co, Inc.; and Sargento Shareables – an easy-to-share, ready-to-serve cheese and cracker tray in partnership with Mondelez International.

Sargento Cheese Bakes are rich, premium cheese crackers made with real Sargento cheese as the No. 1 ingredient, with the care consumers expect from the experts at Mondelēz.
