Just because real cream cheese has seen no changes in, well forever, doesn’t mean it is impossible. I’m talking, of course, about cream cheese and the messy situations its typical brick format has created for all of us chefs. But Savencia Cheese USA’s latest foodservice solutions are what we’ve been missing all along. I caught up with David Frey, Associate Marketing Manager, to find out more about Savencia’s seriously convenient new cream cheese innovations.

One drawback to cream cheese is the time it can take to soften, slowing down production times while chefs wait for it to come to room temperature so it can be properly whipped and mixed. To address this problem, Savencia created a pourable cream cheese product under its Smithfield brand. Developed with pastry chefs in mind, the product brings innovation to a previously stagnant category. Savencia worked with award-winning pastry chef and cookbook author Kathryn Gordon to develop sweet and savory recipes that highlight the product’s versatility. In this interview, Gordon explains the development process behind Smithfield Pourable Cream Cheese and the advantages it gives chefs — from labor savings to culinary creativity.

The Dairy Manufacturer Took Home Eight Medals in the Largest Competition Yet

Savencia Cheese USA proudly announces that its portfolio of specialty cheeses has been recognized once again at the 2020 World Championship Cheese Contest in Madison, Wisconsin: the largest cheese, yogurt, and butter competition across the globe. Among the largest competitive set yet—a record- breaking 3,667 competitors from 36 states and 26 countries— Savencia Cheese USA took home a total of eight medals.

Savencia Cheese USA makes and distributes specialty cheeses all over the world, including a few household names. This isn’t the first time Savencia has received a coveted World Championship Cheese award. Esquirrou, a hard sheep’s milk cheese, was crowned the 2018 overall World Champion and a grand prize winner during that year’s competition.

Savencia’s eight medals include one gold, five silver and two bronze awards across multiple categories.

● In the Processed Cheese category, Alouette Crème de Brie won gold and Alouette Crème de Blue won silver.

● In the Brie category, Ile de France Brie (8 oz) won silver and Alouette Petite Brie Original (5 oz) won bronze.

●  In the Soft-Ripened Cheese category, St. Andre (7 oz) received the silver medal.
●  In the Natural Spreadable Cheese with Flavors category, Alouette Garden Vegetable won silver and Alouette Cucumber Dill was awarded bronze.

● In the Soft Goat Cheese Flavored with Sweet Condiment category, Chavrie Blueberry Vanilla Goat Cheese received the silver title.

In North America’s cheese capital of Wisconsin, these recognitions define an incredible accomplishment for Savencia’s passionate team of cheesemakers and importers. “It’s our mission to produce world-class cheeses,” said Dominique Huth, CEO of Savencia North America. “Savencia Cheese USA’s multiple wins at the 2020 World Championship Cheese Contest solidifies our superiority when it comes to complex and diverse fine cheeses.”

All of Savencia’s winning cheeses—along with the company’s wider portfolio of cheeses—are available at grocery stores nationwide.

This company’s new brand reinvents the wheel, bringing unparalleled taste to the brie category

Savencia Cheese USA has announced the newest addition to its range of specialty cheese brands: Supreme Brie!

“To make Supreme, we source cream and put it into production of Brie the same day,” said Mikhail Chapnik, Vice President of Marketing. “This focus on freshness creates a creamier, smoother, and more spreadable Brie, that will appeal to a broad audience of cheese lovers who don’t typically consider Brie.”

According to the company’s press release, Savencia set out to reinvent Brie in developing this cheese, making it approachable, full-flavored, and creamy. Fresh cream is sourced daily from the farms around the company’s Lena, Illinois, creamery, and pasteurized immediately upon arrival for a consistently creamy taste and texture. The result is a “deliciously buttery” and smooth Brie, with a thin white rind you can eat. The 7 oz oval shape can be easily cut into slices, making it simple to serve.

Supreme Brie officially launched in grocery stores nationwide on May 20. Chapnik stated that this gives “a reinvented, modern twist to our Supreme line of fine cheeses.”

Coming in the fall of this year, Supreme Brie will also be available in a larger 4.4 lb. oval pack to be freshly cut onsite at deli departments, as well as single-serve miniature Brie Bites.
