[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Hye-seon] Maeil Dairies' cheese specialty brand Sangha Cheese announced on the 23rd that it has renewed and launched its Cheddar slice cheese.


Due to social distancing caused by COVID-19, the trend of eating 'home-cooked meals' has settled, leading to an increase in household retail cheese consumption. Last year, domestic cheese consumption increased by 11.9% compared to the previous year.



Maeil Dairies blended aged cheddar cheese and cream cheese to achieve a harmonious taste, reducing cholesterol and saturated fat content by 6% each compared to the previous product. On the other hand, protein content was increased by 13% to meet consumers' health demands. Additionally, it adhered to four principles: no artificial coloring, no preservatives, no synthetic flavoring, and no sugar. The price is 3,600 KRW for 10 slices.
