Montchevre, a U.S. goat cheese brand from Saputo USA, launched a new brand campaign encouraging consumers to “Make Mischief with Montchevre.” The campaign features a series of comical ads highlighting innovative flavors and products inspired by very mischievous goats. Accompanying this campaign, is a fresh new look to its packaging, along with playfully delicious new products and flavor combos hitting grocery retail shelves later this fall.

“Goat-cheese demand continues to rise, as does consumer demand for complementary and complex flavor combinations,” said Jenny Englert, SUSA marketing director. “With the Montchevre brand, we’re purposely mischievous in our innovations and always looking for those unique flavor profiles and product combinations that break the norm and help us stay ahead of trends and consumer demand.” 

Staying ahead of trends and meeting customer demand is what retailers have come to expect from the Montchevre brand. In addition to its fully integrated brand campaign, consumers can expect the following heading into summer and fall: 

• New products: The new Montchevre Duos feature two-in-one flavor mashups in a unique goat cheese log form. The new Montchevre Duos will be available in Sweet Hot Peppers + Garlic & Herbs, a bold blend of spice and herbs wrapped around a piquant flavored core, and Blueberry + Lemonade, a sweet blueberry-flavored core enveloped by a refreshing citrusy lemon twist. Montchevre Duos are available for shipping in August and will hit shelves as early as mid-fall.
• Flavor expansion: An expanded line of goat cheese toppers with a new flavor. Thai Sweet Chili, the newest flavor in the topped line portfolio, is a fragrant blend of sweet red peppers, lime, garlic and spices for a kick of heat. This new flavor is expected to hit retail shelves in early fall.  
• Packaging design: Committed to delivering a best-in-category experience, the new packaging includes a horizonal orientation for its fresh goat cheese logs as we continue to see the category merchandised horizontally at shelf. Fans will be pleased to note the brand is retaining its iconic, enchanting gingham plaid pattern, logo and distinctive bright color palette while uniting the full product portfolio under a more harmonious design.

Founded in 1989 in Preston, Wisconsin, Montchevre merged traditional French goat’s milk cheese-making techniques with the rich heritage of Wisconsin cheese-making, paving the way for the domestic goat cheese industry. The brand is committed to growing the category through driving trial and innovation with over 14 flavors of its goat cheese logs, including Plain, Hibiscus Berry, Jalapeño Honey and Spiced Pumpkin as well as other formats such as aged goat cheddar and topped goat cheese.
