GOAT CHEESE
WHAT MAKES LACLARE UNIQUE
LaClare’s goat milk supply is very unique for the goat cheese industry. Typically, large goat cheese manufacturers do not have enough domestic goat milk to produce the amount of goat cheese they package and sell. This means they rely on other sources, such as imported curd or cheese from foreign manufacturers.
LaClare is different because we are vertically integrated. We obtain most of our milk from farmers located within a 10-mile radius of our creamery. Additionally, we collaborate with local goat farmers, who are just a short distance away, to produce the finest quality milk. Our commitment to using high-quality milk is the secret to our exceptional goat cheese, which is currently the best in the market.
SHELF-LIFE RECOMMENDATIONS
We suggest eating our cheeses within the specified best-before date printed on the packaging, to ensure the freshest and cleanest taste.
DISPLAY CARE AND HANDLING
Typically, our items should hold up with handling at the store level, outside the shipping cases. Keep refrigerated as instructed on the case labels. The 4-ounce logs should be firm to the touch and can be stacked on top of each other.
CROSS-MERCHANDISING OPPORTUNITIES
Goat cheese is so versatile it can be merchandised all around the store. It’s the perfect addition for salads, pasta, cheese boards, or by itself with a spoon! Our current favorite is with the beets, to make a delicious beet and goat cheese salad!
DISPLAY IDEAS
Depending on the size of the case, we suggest keeping all the LaClare-branded goat cheese items together in the specialty cheese case. Our labels look great when displayed together, creating an appealing overall look.
SUGGESTED SIGNAGE
If signage is available, we like to promote our domestic milk supply. We suggest putting “100% Domestic Goat Milk, Clean Fresh Flavor!” on the signage.
