LA FARGE, Wis., March 13, 2025 – Today, Organic Valley — America’s largest organic farmer-owned cooperative — announced the launch of its new organic American Cheese Blocks in two creamy and delicious options: Original and Fiesta. The new 11-ounce American Cheese Blocks are for cheese lovers who crave the comforting taste and ooey-gooey melt of American cheese made with recognizable organic ingredients.
“American cheese has been a staple in households for years, but finding a widely available, organic option in a block format just wasn’t possible — until now,” said Laurie Drake, vice president of marketing, Organic Valley. “We’re so excited about our new Organic Valley American Cheese Blocks because they can be enjoyed in so many delicious ways and are made with real organic dairy and ingredients you can pronounce.”
The new American Cheese Blocks from Organic Valley use the same recipe as our award-winning Organic Valley® American Cheese Slices, offering cheese lovers even more versatility in the kitchen to create their favorite dishes. The new American Cheese Blocks let home cooks and chefs slice, shred, cube, or melt their cheese exactly how they want.
- Original American Cheese Blocks: A classic, mild cheddar-like taste that can be melted into mac and cheese, mixed into soups, and sliced for burgers.
- Fiesta American Cheese Blocks: A blend of Organic Valley® Classic American Cheese with organic jalapeno peppers, organic habanero powder, and Mexican-inspired spices to deliver a zesty kick to dishes like homemade queso.
People can feel good knowing that the new Organic Valley® American Cheese Blocks are crafted with nutritious, organic milk from pasture-raised cows that are raised without the use of antibiotics, synthetic hormones, toxic pesticides or GMOs and adhere to the standards of the USDA National Organic Program.
The 11-ounce American Cheese Blocks will be available at Whole Foods grocery stores nationwide starting March 2025 and will roll out to additional stores in the following months. The suggested retail price is $9.99. To learn more about Organic Valley® American Cheese Blocks and where to find them, visit www.organicvalley.coop.
