–The Latest From Pepperidge Farm® Baked Naturals–
Norwalk, C.T., September 8, 2009 – Pepperidge Farm® Baked Naturals continues to expand its savory snacking portfolio with the launch of Cheese Crisps, which are sure to satisfy with an appealing baked taste and texture. Two distinctive flavors – Four Cheese Medley and Four Cheese Italian Herb – combine real shredded Cheddar, Asiago, Romano, and Parmesan cheeses, golden baked to bubbly perfection on top of crispy, crunchy crackers, which balance natural goodness with sophisticated taste.
To help unveil the new Cheese Crisps, the Pepperidge Farm Baked Naturals brand continues its partnership with Bethenny Frankel, celebrity natural food chef and author. “An artisan blend of real cheeses atop wholesome, crunchy crackers make Cheese Crisps delicious on their own, but they also have layers of flavor that complement many dips and dishes for hearty snacking and eating,” said Frankel, “I love that with Baked Naturals you can enjoy something nourishing and satisfying without compromising taste or quality.”
