The importers responsible for many of
the speciality cheeses sold at Long
Island City grocery stores, Forever
Cheese, are giving a new look to
their in-house brand.
Mitica, Forever Cheese’s in-house line of
selected products, will be arriving in stores
in newly designed packaging in honor of its
20-year anniversary.
The company, located at 36-36 33rd St. in
Long Island City, imports cheese, nuts, choco-late,
olive oil and other specialty food items
from Italy, Portugal, Croatia and Spain. It then
distributes these items to local stores like
Astoria Bier, Cheese Food Cellar, Green Bay
Marketplace and Sorriso Fine Foods. Mitica is
a collection of few of these products chosen
by Forever Cheese to represent the company
in stores.
“As an importer, we’re kind of behind the
scenes,” said Chelsea Bryant a representative
of Forever Cheese. The line is meant to shine
a light on the care that Forever Cheese takes
in selecting items to be sold in stores.
“Our new logo brings us into the future with
a fun, modern aesthetic that’s sophisticated yet
unconventional – just like us,” said co-owner
Michele Buster in a press release. ” Though
our look is different, our products remain the
same: unique, enthralling, and expertly curated.”
Although the company does not have an
exact date when the products will be distributed
with the new logo, they say it will be some time
this month.
