Emmi Roth to Highlight New Products at The National Restaurant Association Show

FITCHBURG, Wis. [May 17, 2023] – Emmi Roth, an industry leader in providing the nation’s top specialty cheeses, will showcase its new products from Athenos, Roth® Cheese and Emmi USA at The National Restaurant Association Show.

“Whether it is with new flavors or custom shred blends, Emmi Roth is committed to developing solutions for our customers,” said Kerry Olson, Vice President of Foodservice Sales, Emmi Roth. “We’re excited to talk to attendees about our new conversion facility, which will have expanded capabilities to better serve our customers.”

New custom cheese capabilities, new flavors and new brand

  • Emmi Roth’s new headquarters and cheese conversion facility in Stoughton, Wisconsin, is set to open later this year. The new facility will help Emmi Roth offer its customers enhanced capabilities to provide a variety of formats, including meal kit sizes and custom shred blends using Roth Grand Cru®, Gouda, Fontina and Havarti.

  • Our Roth Cellars Kit includes everything restaurants need to make an artisan cheeseboard.

  • Roth Cheese has added two exciting flavors—Tomato Basil and French Onion—to its popular Havarti lineup.

  • Emmi Roth acquired Athenos in 2021. Since then, our Foodservice sales team has been able to offer America’s number one feta brand to its customers.
