As the tenth addition to the all-natural spreadable cheese line, the new Alouette® Sweet & Spicy Pepper Medley celebrates spicier flavors, a significant trend in spreadable cheeses. Its bold and unique flavor, with just the right blend of spicy and sweet comes from the delicious fresh taste of Peppadew® Peppers. Grown exclusively in South Africa, they are peppery with a hint of sweetness. Alouette® is proud to be the exclusive spreadable cheese brand featuring Peppadew® Peppers. The newest flavor is available in 6.5 ounce ramekins and retails for $4.99.

Alouette® Berries & Cream also returns for the 2009 holiday season. This limited-edition flavor combines the creamy taste of Alouette® All Natural Soft Spreadable Cheese with the sweet sensation of raspberries and slightly tangy flavor of cranberries. A first place winner in the 2009 United States Championship Cheese Contest (Best in Class, Flavored Sweet Cheeses Category) Alouette® Berries & Cream is an ideal component of holiday entertaining.

"We're thrilled to introduce our newest flavor, Alouette® Sweet & Spicy Pepper Medley, and welcome the return of a seasonal favorite, Alouette® Berries & Cream," stated Rafael Lampon, marketing director at Alouette®.
