Melrose Park, IL – Caputo Cheese, the leading manufacturer of award-winning Fresh Mozzarella and Hard Italian cheeses, is excited to announce its upcoming debut at IDDBA (International Dairy Deli Bakery Association) on June 1-3, 2025, in New Orleans. Caputo Cheese will highlight its award-winning portfolio with a spotlight on its Orecchiette di Mozzarella and new Grilling Cheese. They invite all to visit booth #4424, meet the team, and (of course) sample outstanding cheese!
Caputo’s Chef and Cheese Mongerer Jason Herbert will prepare Roman Pinsa pizza with our fresh mozzarella, Caprese Salad, and NEW Brazilian inspired grilling cheese at the booth.
Orecchiette di Mozzarella, a versatile product and crowd favorite, is ideal for melting on top of pizza and pasta alike, as well as adding a pop of decadence in both warm and cold salads. Its delicate flavor and texture elevate the experience.
Just in time for summer, Caputo’s latest Grilling Cheese is a rich, slightly salty, whole cow’s milk cheese that creates the perfect crispy crust when grilled or fried while remaining soft in the center. We are excited to share this traditionally known Brazilian barbecue favorite with those looking to expand their cheese-repertoire.
Frank Belfiore, Vice President Marketing & Retail Sales at Caputo Cheese comments, “We are excited to spend three days connecting with the IDDBA community and sharing our award- winning fresh mozzarella and hard Italian cheese! Each of our products have been meticulously crafted for performance and flavor, and we promise to deliver taste and tradition with each bite! The Caputo family is dedicated to bringing the same care and outstanding flavors to each cheese they produce, and they are thrilled to share this will everyone at IDDBA.” Caputo Cheese Orecchiette di Mozzarella
