GOOD TO GO
A new treat for lunches and snacks. |
|
If you've always wanted that great Balderson taste as part of an office or
school lunch - but don't have the time to cut and wrap a piece in the morning -
we've got great news.
Now you can satisfy those mid-day cravings with our new, individually-wrapped portions of Balderson 2 Year Royal Canadian. These hand snack portions have the same age and cheddar taste as the larger blocks that you buy at your favourite cheese counter.
These convenient 21 g single-serve portions are available in net bags of 6 at most leading supermarkets or in larger net bags of 20 (a great value)
at Costco.
You may not even want to wait until lunchtime... |

A NEW WINE “SELLER”
Balderson makes port and sherry even better.
Balderson Vintners for White Wine and Balderson Vintners for Red Wine have become very popular with wine lovers who are looking for just the right Cheddar to pair with their favourite wine.
Because of that popularity, we've just released a new member of the family: Vintners for Port & Sherry. This Cheddar has been aged a full 50 months and is especially graded and selected to complement the richer and sweeter flavours of most ports and sherry.
Vintners for Port & Sherry is available at most leading supermarket Delis and cheese shops. If you don't find it there, please ask the cheese clerks to order for you.
If you needed another reason to enjoy port and sherry, this is it. |

ON THE MENU. ON THE WEB.
Balderson Cheddars are turning up everywhere. |

Balderson Cheddars are appearing on more and more restaurant menus.
In our last newsletter, we highlighted the fact that our 5-Year Cheddar is on the menu at Zoe's Lounge in the Fairmont Chateau Laurier in Ottawa. And now more restaurants are adding Canada's favourite cheddar to their menu.
If you're at the Sierra Grill in Toronto, there's a great lunchtime selection of a Balderson Cheddar and Bacon rye sandwich on the menu. In Ottawa, the Courtyard Restaurant offers its customers a “grown up grilled cheese sandwich” of Aged Balderson Cheddar melted between sourdough bread and an apple condiment. Also in the nation's capital, the Wellington Gastro Pub features Balderson 3-Year Heritage Cheddar in a wild mushroom and potato gnocchi dinner. And a third Ottawa establishment, Sterling's Steak & Seafood Restaurant, has a Aged Balderson Cheddar with a pear and onion compote on their canapé menu.
Further south, Niagara-on-the-Lake's Prince of Wales Hotel offers a beef strip loin with Balderson mashed potatoes and caramelized onions on their catering menu.
Balderson is also cropping up on the internet as a key ingredient in a host of great recipes. Here are a few, with links to the recipe pages...
