A ‘grate’ cheese story

Did you know that Publix offers special items that are sustainably sourced? Our private-label Publix Imported Aged Cheddar Cheese is a great example. It’s a sustainability success story.

This cheese is made at a farm that takes pride in being environmentally friendly. It uses the latest cheese-cutting equipment to reduce product waste and focuses on responsible rainwater drainage on its property. Plus, the farm recovers 90% of the water used during the cheesemaking process so it can be reused.

The farm also supports wildlife conservation by planting trees, putting up insect hotels for bees and wasps, and installing bird boxes to encourage a variety of bird species to nest. Customers who buy this product can taste the quality of this smooth and creamy cheese with well-rounded flavors, and know they are doing good for the environment.
