Mr. Cheese O's: First Of Its Kind, All Natural, Yummy, Real Cheese Snack Food Launches At Natural Foods Expo West 2014

ANAHEIM, Calif., March 6, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Orange tongues and fingers, grease stains, high fructose corn syrup, saturated fat, high calorie counts – the telltale signs of cheese-flavored chips, crisps and crackers.

Until now.

Today, Mr. Cheese O's, an all-natural, crunchy, delicious, and fun O-shaped cheese snack announced its launch at Natural Foods Expo West in Anaheim, California. Mr. Cheese O's comes from Sonoma Creamery, an artisan cheese company based in California's wine country, that makes hormone free, 100% natural, gluten-free cheeses. The new healthier, wheat-free, corn-free snack comes in four indulgent varieties, -- Original, Cheddar, Tuscan Herb and Sweet Chili -- with 10-grams of protein per one-ounce bag, using organic quinoa and other ancient grains.

Mr. Cheese O's is a snack every kid will crave and every parent will feel good about serving – not to mention adults craving it themselves! Mr. Cheese O's will be available in the deli section of national grocery and convenience store chains starting this June.

Try Mr. Cheese O's for yourself at Booth 6721 at The Natural Foods Expo in Anaheim, California March 7-9, 2014.

Mr. Cheese O's stands pretty much alone in the $80 billion salty snack category, with its handcrafted all-natural cheese and O-shaped bites that will become as beloved for what they don't have as for what they do:

• No artificial ingredients
• Organic quinoa and other ancient grains
• Gluten-free
• Artificial hormone-free
• Preservative-free
• Corn-free
• Wheat-free
• Just 75 calories per serving (150 calories per pack)
• 10 grams of protein per pack
• 25% of daily value of calcium per pack
• No trans fat
• 0 grams of sugar
• 6 grams of carbohydrates per pack
• Mumbo-jumbo free, with a short, clear and pronounceable list of ingredients

"As parents, how can we trust snack products that use ingredients with names we can't even pronounce?" said Sonoma Creamery's CEO, John Crean. "In a space that's dominated by not-so-good-for-you products, and being a dad myself, I'm proud that our new Mr. Cheese O's product is an extra tasty, crunchy real cheese snack with a clean label and all natural ingredients that parents can feel good about giving their kids – and maybe saving a few for themselves, as well."

Mr. Cheese O's is set to roll out nationwide in all four varieties early this summer. One-ounce packs of Mr. Cheese O's will retail for $2.99. Learn more at http://mrcheeseos.com and like Mr. Cheese O's on Facebook at http://facebook.com/mrcheesesos.

Commitment to Quality

At the core of Sonoma Creamery's success is a commitment to using the best natural ingredients, starting with rBST free (no artificial hormones) milk to produce superior cheese. Sonoma Creamery then uses the best condiments and spices to craft its flagship Sonoma Jack brand of award winning flavored Jack cheese. Inspired by the vibrant agricultural bounty of Sonoma County the Sonoma Creamery® was founded in 1931. In the middle of the Great Depression, there was the belief in a simple concept – use the best milk and produce quality cheese. With that in mind, Sonoma Creamery® and Sonoma Jack® were born.
