March 10/Plymouth, Wis./Sargento Food Ingredients Press Release -- Sargento Food Ingredients announced the rollout of its new website: sargentofooodingredients.com. According to the company, the updated site is more interactive, faster and easier to use.

"Our new website is now truly a creative center for product developers," explains Mike McEvoy, president, Sargento Food Ingredients. "We wanted it to be a hub of creativity where product developers, chefs and food technologists could not only get application and product-specific information, but where they could actually experiment with our ingredients. Within the website, there is a virtual R&D kitchen where visitors can create their own Sargento ingredient."

In addition, the website is organized into sections of applications and ingredients, plus a new resource library with videos and downloadable product info. The site retains its popular cheese market pricing feature while incorporating new information about the breadth of the Sargento food ingredient portfolio.

"Sargento Food Ingredients has so much more to offer beyond our cheese products," says McEvoy. "We have a full range of culinary solutions -- sauces, soups, gravies, dips, fillings, beverages -- and lots of innovations in portion control, delivery systems and packaging."
