At Cantaré Foods we offer five different Product Families |
|
| 1. Baked Brie en Croute, Brioche Appetizers and Mini Baked Brie |
Baked Brie en Croute |
| Also from the artisan cheese makers at Cantaré comes the company’s best-selling and award-winning line of Baked Brie en Croute products. Tantalizing warm Brie cheese encased in a tender round of baked Brioche dough, ready to burst forth when tasted. Cantaré’s Baked Brie en Croute are available plain or in a mouthwatering variety of flavours. These gourmet delicacies can be served right out of the oven as hors d’oeuvres, entrees or desserts. (75 day shelf life) Can be frozen for up to 6 months for year-round enjoyment |
|
Brioche Appetizers and Mini Baked Brie |
| These mouth-sized baked appetizers are miniature versions and variations of our signature artisan Baked Brie En Croute. Filled with sweet or savory fillings, these are an easy gourmet touch to your dinner plate. Those filled with Brie cheese have a different design on the crust of these handmade epicurean creations to indicate each flavor. On a skewer, heat them over the BBQ and serve them as an appetizer with a sipping sauce such as a tomato marinara, ranch or sweet chili or serve with a soup or on a bed of summer greens. Top appetizers with Prosciutto & fresh arugula for a trendy hors d’oeuvre! |
|
| 2. Tapenades and Fresh Roasted Vine Tomatoes |
Olive Tapenade |
| More than a century ago, a gentleman in the Provence region of France, Monsieur Meynier conceived the first tapenade recipe. It was a delicate blend of finely chopped olives, capers, anchovies and olive oil. His creation was hailed far and wide and many variations became popular throughout Europe, but it is Provence that is still associated with the wondrous tasting spreads. In fact, tapenades have been nicknamed “the black butter of Provence,” as well as “the caviar of the poor.” |
|
Fresh Roasted Vine Tomatoes |
| Packaged fresh from the fields, Cantaré’s wedge-slice and vine-ripened tomatoes are slow roasted the Old World way, sealing in the sweet field fresh flavor and retaining the tenderness. The Cantaré Fresh Roasted Vine Tomatoes are bathed in a marinade of herbs and oil. (45 day shelf life) Can be frozen for up to 6 months for year-round enjoyment |
|
| 3. Olive Salsas |
| These salsas blend the flavors of the Mediterranean with the hottest of culinary flavors to deliver an exotic taste with a fusion twist. The first in this exciting line is the Chipotle Olive Salsa – black & green olives blended with chipotle, lemon & cilantro. This Latin inspired flavor profile allows the imagination to marry flavors from many countries creating a super fun flavor explosion. The second, Moroccan olive Salsa, blends the rich and aromatic flavors of Northern Africa. Black and green olives, chickpeas, peaches, raisins, cilantro, roasted peppers and a magical blend of Moroccan spices. (75 day shelf life) |

| 4. Fresh Italian Cheeses |
Fresh Mozzarella |
| Winner of the 2002 and 2004 World Championship Cheese Contest, Cantaré’s Fresh Mozzarella is made with milk high in butterfat and protein content from Southern California’s Jersey cows. The milk is tested to ensure it is free from additives and hormones. In the U.S., fresh Mozzarella is generally made using an acidifier – most commonly vinegar. That does not allow for a milky taste and leaves a strong cheesy flavor, which is not what fresh mozzarella should taste like at all! |
|
Medaglione Fresca |
| Medaglione Fresca Mozzarella, a pre-sliced fresh Mozzarella medallion, is made from the Cantaré formula of Fresh Mozzarella, the Gold Medal Winner at the 2002 & 2004 World Cheese Championships. Medaglione Fresca Mozzarella is portion controlled, thus offering convenient & perfect one ounce mozzarella medallions to the consumer. With its incredible taste, texture and flavor, this product offers the best of both worlds, ensuring consistent, gorgeous presentations plate after plate. It saves tremendously on preparation time without any waste since each slice is perfect, always! |
|
Gourmet Mozzarella |
| This new addition to the Mozzarella line is a low moisture cheese. Cantaré’s Gourmet Mozzarella received a bronze medal at the World Cheese Awards in London in March, 2005.Although not technically a fresh Mozzarella, as it is not packed in water nor does it have the same high moisture content, it utilizes the same production process which gives this Gourmet Mozzarella its milky taste and texture. The product is a great snack food for those looking to keep protein high and carbohydrates low, as well as being low in sodium and additive free. It’s perfect for slicing and ideal for pizza, pasta dishes, salads - such as Caprese, and sandwiches. (60 day shelf life) |
|
Mascarpone |
| Often used in Tiramisu or mixed with berries, Mascarpone is Italian for “cream cheese.” Cantaré’s luscious and sensuous variation is made with high quality cream and butterfat, no artificial preservatives and has a slightly sweet taste. (90 day shelf life) What most people don’t realize is that is the most decadent substitute for the most authentic of creamy sauces, both savory and sweet. |
|
Ricotta Fresca |
| Cantaré’s Ricotta Fresca is hand scooped and made with whole milk products, free of hormones and antibiotics. It contains no gum, fillers or other additives which results in a clean, sweet milky taste. Our unique packaging consists of an inner draining basket since we pack our Ricotta Fresca in its natural juice. The basket maintains the structural integrity of the cheese and resists liquefying. Especially notable for everything from lasagna to making the finest of desserts, Cantaré’s Ricotta Fresca absorbs the flavor of the sauce. (55 day shelf life) |
|
Burrata |
| Burrata is like a little surprise package. Wrapped inside a little ball of Fresh Mozzarella is an empty chamber filled with a blend of stringed cheese and mascarpone cheese. The delicious and sensuous Burrata has become the darling of restaurateurs throughout the world who use it in appetizers, cheese-based salads, desserts and other decadent dishes. |
|
| 5. Marinated Salads |
| Cantaré’s acclaimed Mozzarella also takes on a co-starring role alongside other ingredients to create lighthearted Mediterranean-style salads. A favorite on the menus of many gourmet restaurants can now be had at home without all the fuss and muss...simply remove the seal and you’re ready to serve these Mediterranean creations. Using only the finest of ingredients - whole fresh mozzarella cheese and a succulent medley of oven roasted vegetables, olives and field fresh herbs bathed in olive oil - these salads make you shine in the spotlight of your own kitchen in no time! |
