Emmi Roth Adds New Products and Organics

Capitalizing on growing market trends and pushing forward the profile of specialty cheese, Emmi Roth USA has announced two big additions to the company’s product line. The company announced a new addition to its sought-after Kaltbach line, Emmi Kaltbach Le Crémeux imported from Switzerland, and a new line of Roth® Organics cheeses made using fresh, certified organic milk sourced from local dairies.

“The demand for artisan cheese continues to grow in the United States,” says Tim Omer, President and Managing Director, addressing the latest addition to the company’s Kaltbach line. “We remain the number one importer of Gruyère in the country and are proud to continue to introduce new products to the United States from our parent company in Switzerland. Like all cheeses we import, Kaltbach Le Crémeux is unique and special.”

Made in a nine-pound wheel, Kaltbach Le Crémeux is a washed-rind cheese, with a sweet and unassuming initial flavor that keeps eaters coming back for more. The semi-firm cheese is crafted with pasteurized milk and microbial rennet and aged at least 120 days in the Kaltbach caves near Lucerne, Switzerland.

Emmi Kaltbach Le Crémeux will join Kaltbach Le Gruyère AOP, Kaltbach Emmentaler AOP, and Kaltbach Alpine Extra as available Swiss imports through Emmi USA.

The company’s four new Roth® Organics cheeses feature a variety of unique cheeses, including an organic version of Roth’s flagship Grand Cru® Original.

According to the company's recent releases, its new offerings include:

• Roth® Organic Grand Cru® Original: Available in 18-pound wheels and six-ounce retail cuts, this award-winning Alpine-style cheese is described to have a complex, full-bodied flavor.
• Roth® Organic Van Gogh® Gouda: Available in 10-pound wheels and eight-ounce retail cuts, Roth’s signature Gouda is a quintessentially Dutch cheese with a straw-yellow body and mild and mellow sweetness.
• Roth® Organic Havarti: Available in nine-pound loafs and eight-ounce retail cuts, the company’s Organic Havarti is a versatile cheese with a mild and buttery flavor, perfect for cooking and melting.
• Roth® Organic Sharp Cheddar: Available in one-pound blocks and eight-ounce retail cuts, the company’s Organic Sharp Cheddar is described to have a classic, rich, and tangy flavor.

“We are fortunate to live in a part of the world where fresh, organic milk is available in our backyard. The farmers we work with follow certified organic dairy farming standards,” added Omer.

Both the company’s new Kaltbach and Roth® Organics line were introduced during the Winter Fancy Food Show in San Francisco, held January 21-23. The entire line of the company’s Kaltbach and organic cheeses are available to retailers and specialty stores nationwide.
