DCI Cheese Co., Moonachie, N.J., introduces two new Nikos Feta cheese flavors: peppercorn and Mediterranean (tomato, basil, oregano, garlic and lemon juice). The addition of the new flavors is due in part to the rising popularity of feta cheese, according to the company. Nikos is ranked among the top-10 branded feta cheeses and is made from cow's milk, making it milder than sheep's milk feta. It has those traditional qualities that consumers like, the flavor is tangy and the texture is crumbly. The company has also unveiled a new, more contemporary look and packaging label for the Nikos brand to celebrate its continued success in the market. The new labels utilize a Grecian font, the tagline "Robust Mediterranean" and stylized pictures of a Greek pillar and a rolling Mediterranean ocean wave to reflect the rich heritage of this cheese category. The new packaging also features a signature color of blue, red, purple or green to designate each individual flavor.
