Emmi Roth USA Supports Share Our Strength at Taste of the Nation
Emmi Roth USA, a leading provider of specialty cheeses and premium fresh dairy products, is proud to announce its sponsorship of Share Our Strength’s Taste of the Nation® events in conjunction with its support of Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry® campaign as part of the brand’s commitment to ending hunger in America.
From coast to coast, Emmi is supporting four Taste of the Nation events, which bring together chefs from across the country to raise money for the No Kid Hungry campaign. The No Kid Hungry campaign is ending childhood hunger in America by ensuring all children get the healthy food they need, every day. By connecting kids in need to effective nutrition programs like school breakfast and summer meals, and teaching their families how to cook healthy, affordable meals through its Cooking Matters program, the No Kid Hungry campaign surrounds children with healthy food where they live, learn and play. Since 1988, Taste of the Nation has raised more than $82.5 million.
Emmi’s involvement in Taste of the Nation kicked off in San Francisco on March 21st, where Corporate Chef Evan Topel served up tempting fare featuring Emmi’s premium specialty cheeses, Kaltbach™ Cave-aged Le Gruyère® Switzerland AOC and Le Gruyère® AOC. Emmi experts were also on hand to offer insight and tips for cooking with specialty cheeses. Chef Topel and the Emmi team will reprise their participation in Taste of the Nation events in New York on April 29, Los Angeles on June 9 and Chicago on August 7.
“We are proud partners of the No Kid Hungry campaign, and sponsoring Taste of the Nation events is the perfect way to continue to show our support,” said Guido Kaelin, VP of Marketing and Procurement at Emmi Roth USA. “We are excited to connect with chefs and food lovers around the country through these events as we continue to support Share Our Strength’s mission.”
Those who can’t make it to one of the Taste of the Nation events can still enjoy one of Chef Topel’s specialties by making his Truffle Mac and Cheese with Kaltbach Le Gruyère® at home following his own recipe.
