Natural Grocers®扩大自有品牌有机奶酪系列，推出五种新的受欢迎人群喜爱的奶酪系列

From bold blends to everyday staples, the latest additions are big on flavor and offer an unparalleled union of quality and price

LAKEWOOD, Colo., May 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Natural Grocers®, the nation's leading family-operated organic and natural grocery retailer, has expanded its house brand cheese line with five new organic varieties. The new additions offer even more ways to enjoy premium quality at an Always Affordable^SM Price, with the same values-driven sourcing and craftsmanship that define the Natural Grocers® Brand. The five new cheeses are available exclusively at Natural Grocers stores nationwide. Customers can expect delicious, organic flavor in every bite and the satisfaction of supporting a brand committed to doing things differently.

FIVE NEW WAYS TO SAY "CHEESE"

The latest offerings include three Organic Cheese Blocks (Havarti, Mild and Medium Cheddar), plus Organic Medium Cheddar Cheese Slices and Organic Sharp Cheddar Cheese Shreds. Like all Natural Grocers Brand cheeses, the five new varieties are certified organic, made with real California milk and crafted in accordance with Natural Grocers' pasture-based dairy standards. The blocks, slices and shreds are also non-GMO, and made with organic-approved microbial coagulate instead of animal rennet.

Our house brand is more than just a label—it's a reflection of our family's values," said Raquel Isely, vice president of marketing at Natural Grocers. "We're proud to offer customers cheeses that are not only delicious and organic, but also reflect our support for small family farms, animal welfare and environmental sustainability."

CRAFTED WITH CARE, SOURCED WITH PURPOSE

Natural Grocers' long-standing cheese production partner is deeply committed to sustainability across every facet of their operation. From humane, responsible cow care to producing and processing all products within a 100-mile radius, they actively reduce their carbon footprint while ensuring peak freshness. Remarkably, 87% of the 48,000 gallons of water used daily in cheesemaking is cleaned and reused. Additionally, their packaging uses 20% less plastic, further minimizing environmental impact.
