New Ube Flavored Goat Cheese Joins LaClare Creamery’s Chèvre Portfolio
Using the beloved Filipino ingredient, this goat cheese honors tradition while exploring it in a new and unexpected way.
LaClare Creamery welcomes summer with its most magical creation yet—Ube Goat Cheese. Created with LaClare’s award-winning Original Goat Cheese, this vibrant flavor blends the sweet, nutty notes of Ube with the creamy, clean taste LaClare cheeses are known for.
Ube is a purple yam native to the Philippines, cherished for its naturally sweet and nutty flavor. Traditionally a staple ingredient used in Filipino dishes and desserts like ube halaya, cakes and ice cream, the vibrantly purple yam has a taste that is slightly reminiscent of vanilla, which sets it apart from other root vegetables. When blended into LaClare’s Original Goat Cheese, ube’s purple hues bring a new sense of wonder to the specialty cheese aisle.
“Our new Ube Goat Cheese breaks up the visual sameness that shoppers typically encounter in the cheese case—its color signaling something fun and new to discover,” said Patrick Considine, national sales director at LaClare Creamery. “Given its whimsical appearance, our team has dubbed the Ube Goat Cheese a “unicorn” in the cheese aisle. As such, the unicorn-horned goat on our Ube packaging is a promise that what’s wrapped inside is rare, playful, and unmistakably special. Because why eat average when you could experience a little magic?”
Using the beloved Filipino ingredient, this goat cheese honors tradition while exploring it in a new and unexpected way. For those who wish to add a little tangy, purple whimsy to their day-to-day meals, LaClare Creamery’s Ube Goat Cheese can be tossed in a salad, mixed into an ube cream pie, spread on a toasted bagel, or crumbled over a smoothie bowl—the possibilities are endless.
