YOLO

YOLO Food has a world first with their YOLO Fecotta. Working with European suppliers based in Hungary, the Auckland company has created and patented a new variety of cheese – Fecotta.

YOLO Food CEO, Adel Yousef, was looking for an exciting addition to the company’s YOLO range of European cheeses when he came up with the concept of a new product which combines the texture of Feta with the taste of Ricotta.

After many trials, the Hungarian cheese makers came up with the perfect combination of both traditional cheeses and Fecotta was created.

This product is easy to cut (with less rind than Ricotta) and is ideal for salads, pizzas and grilling. It is less salty than other Fetas and other grilling cheeses.

It also doesn’t crumble – making it easy to use, especially in salads. Packed in a 225 vacuum pack in a display carton of 12 pieces, Fecotta, first hit the shelves in around Christmas 2017. This cheese is also made with vegetarian rennet – another big sales advantage. It has been a very popular seller and particularly with the trendy “foodies” of New Zealand, who love to sample new products.

Adel believes Fecotta will outsell many of the other European white cheeses because of its versatility and dual nature combining two well-known cheeses. As a healthy product (with 3g of fat per serving) it also reinforces the big move towards products which promote our good health and well-being.

YOLO Fecotta has a broad appeal (even little kids love it) and is exciting as a world first with an international patent pending – registered to YOLO Food..
