Butlers Farmhouse Cheeses’ is gearing up for this Summer’s outdoor dining and BBQ boom with its new Blacksticks Blue ‘Mega Burger Slices’.
The rural Lancashire-based cheesemaker is launching its first-ever Blacksticks toppers in Waitrose and Spar stores nationally in April, ahead of the much-awaited, post-lockdown BBQ season.
Famed for converting even non-blue cheese lovers into devoted fans, the Mega Burger Cheese Slices deliver Blacksticks Blue’s unmistakably smooth, creamy texture with distinctive blue bite, complete with edible rind. Cut from a whole, handmade cheese, the thick slices are the antidote to ‘plastic’ burger cheese and ooze like a dream.
These indulgent 80mm diameter rounds are thick cut and designed to melt perfectly on meat or vegetarian burgers for the ultimate ooze factor – they’re also a great option for grilled or picnic sandwiches.
As we dust off the garden furniture and enjoy longer, lighter evenings, food trends suggest summer 2021 is going to be all about elevated, instagrammable home-cooked outdoor dining, with the midweek BBQ poised to explode as people host friends in their humble back gardens.
Due to ongoing social restrictions and the appeal of outdoor entertaining in the wake of the pandemic, BBQs are set to be a top trend this summer.
Last year a whopping 100 million BBQs were reported between April and August, up 44% year-on-year with this trend predicted to continue in summer 2021.
Containing four perfect thick cut rounds per pack, Blacksticks Blue Mega Burger Slices are available in Waitrose, Spar and online through the Butlers cheese store for £3 per pack plus postage.
