TILLAMOOK, Ore. – Everything is more fun in miniature, and new Tillamook Mini Slices score a bite-size win for entertaining as home cooks layer the World’s Best Medium Cheddar onto slider burgers and sandwiches for big game gatherings or summer grilling season.
The National Restaurant Association named sliders the #2 top appetizer trend for 2010 in the What’s Hot in 2010 Chefs Survey. Made from the World’s Best Medium Cheddar Cheese, Tillamook Mini Slices help party hosts create and serve the popular mini-burger appetizers quickly and conveniently. The pre-cut 2” x 2” Mini Slices are perfectly portioned to fit standard slider buns and crackers, so cooking up mini masterpieces is simple. For sale in the dairy aisle cheese case, Tillamook Mini Slices are one of the first pre-sliced cheese products available in convenient, square slider-size slices.
“We’ve been making our award-winning Medium Cheddar the same way for more than a century, and now we’ve found a new way to slice it to bring convenience to home entertaining,” said Jay Allison, Tillamook vice president of sales and marketing. “No longer limited to happy hour menus, sliders are one of the hottest restaurant trends, and now home grillers can create the world’s best sliders from the World’s Best Medium Cheddar.”
Tillamook Medium Cheddar is distinctly rich and creamy with a light nutty flavor. Made using only the highest quality milk from cows not treated with artificial growth hormones, Tillamook Medium Cheddar Cheese is naturally aged for more than 60 days and contains nothing artificial.
Tillamook Mini Slices come in 12-oz packs of 48 Mini Slices for $4-5.
