Country Range Group’s brand manager, Vasita Jantabutara, said: “Dairy is an important foodstuff for many diners as part of a healthy and balanced diet so it’s important that operators use a range of products that they have confidence in and know their customers will too. Our new soft cheeses and yogurts are perfect for caterers as they taste fantastic, are packed full of nutrients and vitamins, and can be used in variety of sweet and savoury dishes. Take our new mascarpone for instance, it’s delicious when used in a tasty tart or trifle to add a bit of luxury but equally as good when used to enhance the creaminess of pasta dishes or cooking sauces.”
