As if things like Velveeta and that spray cheese
with a nozzle weren't already stretching the limits of what we call cheese, New Zealand-based dairy company Fonterra has recently released chocolate-flavored cheese slices in
markets in Asia. Essentially, the Chesdale chocolate cheese slices are individually wrapped squares, not unlike a Kraft
Single, but with "a mild chocolate flavour, matched to a light Cadbury flavour," according to a Fonterra
marketing director quoted in a New Zealand newspaper. Sales
of dairy have never been remarkably high in Asia, however Chesdale has captured 10 percent of the cheese market in
Taiwan since it's release six months ago.

Seriously, that Norwegian Gjetost that tastes like peanut butter...wonder how the two would pair?

Some American company is marketing peanut butter in similar square, cello-wrapped, sandwich size individual "slices". (...because spreading peanut butter is just soooo taxing.) Perhaps someone has just developed a chocolate that can be sold in similar packaging.
