A. Connoisseur is a high quality gourmet refrigerated cheese spread designed to take advantage of the growing demand for gourmet cheeses. Each Connoisseur flavor is a blend of cheddar cheese and European-style cheeses.   Q. Are Connoisseur Cheese products kosher? A. Our products are not Kosher   Q. Are Connoisseur Cheese products made with Pasteurized Milk? A. Almost all of our cold pack products are made from cheese that was fully pasteurized. Only our swiss cheese based products are made from cheese that was heat treated to 148°, but not pasteurized. We age all of those cheeses for at least 60 days and then blend them with other ingredients to create our spreadable cheeses without the aid of heat.   Q. Do Connoisseur Cheese products need to be refrigerated? A. Connoisseur should be kept refrigerated before opening, and should go back in the refrigerator after each use.   Q. Where can I buy Connoisseur Cheese products? A. Go to the Where To Find Us section of our web site. We’ll connect you to a Store Locator that will help you track down your favorite products.   Q. What are the ingredients and nutritional information for Connoisseur Cheese products. A. Go to the Products section and click the Nutrition/Ingredients button. All of the ingredients and nutritional facts are listed by flavor.   Q. Can I freeze Connoisseur Cheese products? A. Connoisseur can be frozen up to a year. However, freezing can make the texture slightly crumbly after thawing. Also, be aware that the cups become more brittle when frozen, and can crack if bumped.   Q. How long will the spreadable cheese stay fresh in my refrigerator after I have opened the container? A. Under normal conditions, Connoisseur spreadable cheese products will retain freshness for approximately three months after the product is opened.   Q. Are the Connoisseur spreadable cheese products heat processed? A. Not now. Not ever. The natural flavors of the cheese come through our spreadable cheese because we utilize a unique “cold pack” method of converting naturally aged cheese to our spreadable form.
