valentine’s day
O
nce considered the ultimate dining out holiday of the year,
Valentine’s Day is becoming more of a dine-at-home occasion for tens of thousands of couples across the country. In
2012, only about a third (36%) of American consumers planned an
evening out for Valentine’s Day, according to Mintel research. For
instore bakeries and delis, this trend sets the stage for the opportunity
to capitalize on merchandising creative new ideas for cozy or romantic
celebrations at home.
In particular, two merchandising themes lend themselves extremely
well to Valentine’s Day: fondue and chocolate dipping stations. Fondue
restaurants are gaining more popularity these days, but fondue is
done even better at home. Instores can provide all the ingredients for a
fondue party for couples, gatherings of friends or even families.
FONDUE FUN
Consumers are seeking increasingly robust flavors as evidenced by
continued growth in the specialty cheese category. Yet, they want to
balance their quest for flavor with their desire for high quality products
that cut down meal prep times. Grand Cru shreds from Roth make it easy
for time-starved home cooks to combine both taste and convenience.
Grand Cru shreds provide a delicious alternative to more commonly
used cheeses and a little sprinkle adds a big flavor boost to any dish.
Alpine style cheese is typically associated with fondues, but is also
perfect for lighter spring dishes such as salads, fresh vegetables,
gratins and egg dishes like frittatas and classics like grilled cheese and
macaroni and cheese. “Whether it’s breakfast, lunch, dinner, appetizer,
soup, salad, entrée or cheese course, alpine style cheese is extremely
versatile,” says Roth Corporate Chef Regi Hise. “You can use Grand Cru
as a key ingredient in a wide range of classic and innovative recipes
and applications.”
The flavors of Grand Cru are reminiscent of the air and land of the
pastures of local Wisconsin family farms with production methods that
mirror those of classic Swiss artisanal cheese making traditions. The

cheese is prepared in authentic copper vats by Roth cheese makers
and aged on wooden boards in temperature-controlled cellars.
Fondue themed promotions are simple to execute at the instore deli, by
simply dedicating display space to alpine style cheeses, bread cubes,
deli meats and even fondue equipment, supported by recipe cards
or directions to find more information online. Whole Foods Market
