"Easy Entertaining With Emmi Roth USA" Celebrates 20 Years Of Crafting & Curing Cheese In Wisconsin

MONROE, Wis. – Emmi Roth USA is commemorating its 20th year of crafting and curing cheese in Monroe, Wisconsin with the release of a new cookbook highlighting easy ways to entertain with award-winning cheeses and fresh dairy products. Roth Käse USA began its operations in 1991, and was acquired by Emmi Group in 2009. After merging with Emmi’s US subsidiary (Emmi USA), the company is now known as Emmi Roth USA and offers a full range of imported and domestic cheese specialties along with fresh dairy products.

“Easy Entertaining with Emmi Roth USA” features over 50 original recipes, ranging from festive appetizers to fondue to spirited libations and delicious endings. Many of the recipes were created by chefs, cookbook authors and food writers and provide a quick and easy way to integrate Emmi Roth products in everyday entertaining as well as on special occasions. Highlights include Chef Jasper Mirabile’s Rigatoni Pasta with Buttermilk Blue®, Chef Cleetus Friedman’s Spinach Pesto Crostini with GranQueso®, and Chef Rex Hale’s Lobster Macaroni and Cheese with Gruyère.

“Easy Entertaining” is Emmi Roth’s second cookbook; the first cookbook, launched five years ago in celebration of their 15th anniversary, will continue to be available in the short term by special request with extended lead time. “Easy Entertaining” is currently available to the trade through the Emmi Roth USA sales team. All recipes from both cookbooks are available online at www.emmirothusa.com under Recipes and Pairings.

“Customers always ask how they can extend the use of our cheeses and fresh dairy products in the kitchen,” said Guido Kaelin, VP of Marketing at Emmi Roth USA. “This cookbook gives great suggestions for using our products in a variety of quick and easy culinary applications, and we’ve taken care to make sure that the recipes are approachable, user-friendly AND delicious. They’re the types of dishes you’ll want to share with family and friends.”
