Summer is in full swing and the last thing anyone wants to do is spend hours in a hot kitchen. Between pool days, outdoor hangs, and busy family schedules, summer is peak grazing season. But easy shouldn’t mean boring.

If you want to elevate your summer snack game, look no further than the dairy aisle at your local Publix. They have a massive selection of Cabot Cheese products, meaning there is an option waiting for you no matter what you or your family are craving.

Whether it’s cheddar, pepper jack, gouda or muenster, Cabot makes it incredibly easy to put together an impressive spread. They are a cooperative owned by farm families, and that dedication to quality which you’ll notice in all their amazing varieties.

Need some ideas on how to satisfy every single craving this season, Cabot has you covered.

For the Bold & Savory Craving: Seriously Sharp Cheddar

If you love a snack with some serious bite, Cabot Seriously Sharp Cheddar is the undisputed MVP. It’s dense, complex, and packs a massive punch of flavor. Pair it with crisp apple slices, a handful of salted almonds, or just cut it into thick slices to eat with your favorite crackers. It is also incredible cubed up into a quick backyard pasta or broccoli salad because the flavor never gets lost.

For the Smooth & Sweet Craving: Cabot Gouda

On the flip side, when you want something mild, buttery, and effortlessly smooth, Cabot Gouda is a dream. It has a beautiful, slightly nutty sweetness that pairs incredibly well with summer fruits.

Gouda melts beautifully, making it perfect for quick stove-top sliders or grilled cheese. But for a hot summer day, it shines brightest when paired with fresh ingredients straight from the fridge.
Speaking of the perfect sweet-and-savory combo, you gotta try my Gouda and Prosciutto Melon Bites. This quick, no-cook appetizer takes less than 10 minutes to put together and will be the star of your next poolside gathering.
