  21. Trends in Cheese • Farm-friendly foods are very attractive to today's premium product consumers • Consumers are seeking out and eating "local" foods • Fresh, all-natural foods, such as cheese, are tied to a healthy lifestyle • Cheese-enhanced sandwiches continue to gain popularity • Entertaining with food at home has become increasingly popular

  22. Sandwiches ... • Sandwiches rule as America's favorite meal, at home or out, at lunch or dinner, we love our Cheeseburgers, Ham and Cheese, Corned Beef and Swiss, etc. • Any sliced meat should be paired with a cheese option • Promote the meat and cheese together • Suggest something new in a sandwich recipe • Suggest two cheeses on top of that meat

  23. Entertaining … • Wine sales have grown very nicely over the past several years, have you paired your cheese sales with that growth? • Suggest some pairing combinations • It does not need to be Wine – Beer and/or fruit juice can work as well • Often two or more cheese can be paired very nicely with a single beverage • Don't let them forget the crackers and other accompanying items

  24. WISCONSIN = Cheese • The world of cheese can be simple or overwhelming: • Simple when you treat it like a condiment – nothing special • Overwhelming, but profitable, when you dig deep!
