The Laughing Cow has introduced a new flavor to its range of spreadable cheese wedges: Creamy Smoked Gouda Variety. This latest offering features a smoky flavor profile and is designed to be enjoyed in the familiar wedge format that consumers have come to appreciate.
The launch of Creamy Smoked Gouda follows two other recent flavors released in 2024, which include Creamy Jalapeño and a limited-edition Everything Bagel Style. The new Smoked Gouda flavor is crafted from a slow-smoked cheese that has been aged for 10 to 12 weeks, resulting in a rich and bold taste.
Each wedge of the Creamy Smoked Gouda Variety provides two grams of protein and is a good source of calcium. It is positioned as a versatile snack option, suitable for pairing with vegetables and crackers or as a spread on charcuterie boards. Additionally, it is noted for its melting qualities, making it an appropriate ingredient for various recipes, including soups, pastas, and dips. The Laughing Cow has also shared new recipes featuring this flavor, such as the Pastrami & Smoked Gouda Snackwich and Smoky Creamy Bacon Bites.
Jessica Dillion, Senior Brand Director at Bel Brands USA, stated that the company focuses on trending flavors when developing new products, noting the rising popularity of Smoked Gouda in both cheese and snack categories. The Creamy Smoked Gouda Variety is now available at major retailers across the country, including Walmart, Albertsons, Kroger, and Publix. Consumers can locate this product through The Laughing Cow’s website. The new flavor joins the brand’s existing lineup, which includes several other varieties.
