Make Thanksgiving a Breeze with Karoun Dairies

TURLOCK, Calif., Nov. 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Hosting the annual Thanksgiving dinner is never as easy as it seems. Trying to mingle with family and friends while simultaneously cooking an impressive meal and overseeing potential family quarrels can be exhausting. With so much going on, finding a delicious and easy treat to serve one's guests while they mingle can be difficult.

Karoun Dairies' (karouncheese.com) has the perfect solution to this culinary dilemma. Karoun produces a vast variety of cheeses – all of which are free of growth hormones, handmade, and elegantly packaged. A gorgeous Karoun cheese platter makes the perfect table center piece – a center piece which all guests are sure to enjoy and admire. By combining Karoun String Cheese, Yanni Grilling Cheese, and Feta Cheese onto a plate, the problem of serving an easy holiday appetizer is solved.

Anto and Rostom Baghdassarian, founder and COO respectively of Karoun Dairies, have been making cheese for over 20 years, and creating new recipes over these years.  Karoun String Cheese is carefully hand-prepared, hand-pulled and hand-braided. The care and artistry Karoun incorporates into their production process is illustrated in their final product – a beautifully and perfectly braided roll of string cheese.

Grilling Cheese is unique to Karoun Dairies and the cheese market. A traditional semi-firm Mediterranean cheese, Yanni Grilling Cheese has a distinctive layered texture that is mildly salty with a rich buttery taste. Grilling Cheese can withstand a tremendous amount of heat without melting, and will develop a delicious golden crust when grilled, which looks perfect on any holiday platter. Yanni Grilling Cheese comes in 3 flavors options – Original, Jalapeno, and Mint.

Karoun's beautifully weaved Feta Cheese Baskets are a gorgeous addition to any platter. The rich white color of the cheese and bright green color of the herbs beautifully combine to create a yummy palate of different colors. Feta cheese baskets come ready to serve in an easy to open package which can be used as a serving container as well. Feta cheese baskets are available in 4 different flavors – Original, Green Olives & Thyme, Kalamata olives & Thyme, and Thyme & Red Pepper.
