In times of rising costs and staff and skills shortages, it’s never been more important to stock up on product solutions which deliver consistent results while cutting down on labour cost and preparation time.
Shredded cheese is a great time and labour saver and Dairy Farmers has all your needs covered with two terrific shredded cheese products which are as versatile as they are flavoursome.
Dairy Farmers Shredded Tasty Cheddar is a matured cheddar that’s light yellow in colour and boasts a rich, tasty flavour that makes it a perfect all-rounder cheese for both commercial and institutional use.
“Dairy Farmers Shredded Tasty Cheddar is a full flavoured cheese which delivers great taste, consistent texture and faster browning thanks to its lower moisture content,” says chef Gary Johnson.
“It’s ideal whenever you want to add a rich, sharp flavour to your comfort food dishes like macaroni and cheese or a warming oven bake over the colder months, and it’s also perfect in burgers, wraps, toasties and grills.”
With its melting profile just right for oven baking, Dairy Farmers Shredded Tasty Cheddar is also a great performer on nachos, tacos and baked potatoes.
“You can use it to add depth to dishes and whenever you want an aesthetically appealing browning and creamy consistency,” Johnson adds. “It’s your best bet to ensure your mornay sauce comes out thick, cheesy and flavourful, and it works really well in cold dishes as well, such as sprinkled over salads.”
Dairy Farmers Shredded Mozzarella is a mildly flavoured white-style mozzarella designed to deliver superior stretch and melt in the mouth texture. The perfect choice for Italian style cuisine including lasagne, pasta, parmigiana and more, it will bubble and stretch when heated, ensuring a consistent golden caramelisation and delicious texture and taste.
“The mild flavour of Dairy Farmers Shredded Mozzarella will complement but never overpower the flavours of your other ingredients,” Johnson explains, “which makes it a great blending cheese and ideal in salads, panini and of course pizza thanks to its excellent melting properties and great stretch – it’s the key ingredient that holds your other toppings together.
“That lovely stretchy melt is also highly desirable in gnocchi, on open sandwiches and in pasta bakes, making this your go-to cheese whenever you want beautiful texture with a subtle flavour that won’t overwhelm. And thanks to its higher moisture content and lower fat, it melts smoothly with minimal oiling off, so you can be assured of a nice even texture and no unsightly pools of oil.”
Summarising the attributes of both cheeses, Johnson says, “Dairy Farmers Shredded Mozzarella is ideal when you need smooth stretch and melt without overpowering flavours, whereas Dairy Farmers Shredded Tasty Cheddar is perfect when you need strong, rich flavour, creamy melt and easy browning to enhance the overall taste of your dish. Stock up on both and you’ll have two terrific performers on hand to ensure you always have the right shredded cheese for the job!”
