Champignon North America launches Rougette Bonfire Grilling Cheeses

Englewood, New Jersey – Champignon North America is pleased to announce the launch of a summer season selection of specialty cheeses made just for the grill! Rougette Bonfire Grilling Cheeses, the latest cheese innovation from Käserei Champignon, are served hot, fresh off the grill and are perfect for sharing.

The product line includes two types of cheese, made with all-natural ingredients: a mild and creamy soft-ripened cheese, which comes in two individually packed cheeses per unit; and a semi-soft cheese marinated in herbs, which comes in a convenient ready-to-grill pan. Both cheeses are unique and approachable in flavor profile and truly bring something special to the summer barbecue experience.

Mild and creamy Grilling Cheese is made to be heated directly on the grill – just like a burger! The creative cheese masters of Käserei Champignon have refined a recipe for a soft ripened cheese that can withstand the direct heat without melting or sticking to the grill. The cheese develops a char-grilled, golden crispy outside and a warm & creamy soft inside. An excellent grilling choice for vegetarians and cheese lovers alike!

Marinated Grilling Cheese is a savory and creamy semi-soft cheese pre-marinated in herbs and oil and comes in a convenient aluminum pan for easy preparation and grilling. The cheese softens when warmed and has versatile party menu applications: it can be warmed on both sides and then diced into salads, layered with grilled vegetables for one-pan main course, or it can be melted into a hot dip, perfect for a crowd.

 “We’re very excited to see our Rougette Bonfire Grilling Cheeses bring people together around the grill this summer.” said Flynne Wiley, CEO of Champignon North America. “Now grill masters and cheese lovers alike can enjoy specialty cheeses in a totally new way.”
