Melrose Park, Ill. (August 15, 2013) – Caputo Cheese, manufacturer and processor of fine Italian cheeses, announced the debut of their newest Fresh Mozzarella product, Caprese Slices. These pre-cut, thicker-style slices offer convenience, fresh quality and consistent size every time.

“After the successful launch of our 1 oz. Fettine slice back in 2005, we always knew that we would have to accommodate the consumer with a thicker slice,” said Natale Caputo, president of Caputo Cheese. “So, we introduce the Caprese slice.”

Manufactured at their processing plant in Melrose Park, IL, Caputo Caprese Slices offer the perfect size and thickness for Caprese Salads. The product is available in a 1.31-pound (15/1.4 oz. slices) vacuum package without water. This product joins Caputo Cheese’s existing 1 ounce Fresh Mozzarella Slices, as well as a large line of other Fresh Mozzarella products ranging in size from pearl to log-sized. “The Caprese slice, at exactly 1.4 oz., is the perfect size for that garden grown beefsteak tomato,” said Caputo. “Furthermore, we have improved our packaging which allows a clear distinction of each individual slice. The Caprese slice is one of our finest Caputo products yet.”
