Organic Garage (TSX-V:OG) Ltd. said its Future of Cheese Inc. unit sold out, within 48 hours, the initial run of its line of butters to select retailers in Ontario following a successful launch earlier this week.
“We are extremely happy with the response and feedback from our distributor and retail customers,” said Jen Wojtaszek, president of Future of Cheese, in a statement.
“Following the incredibly fast sell-out of our first product, our production and culinary teams are currently underway to increase production both for the current products and ensuring there will be sufficient supply available upon launch of our next SKUs, to accommodate the current and anticipated demand.”

Brodflour, one of the first retailers to receive the products, said it was “honored” to be a part of the Future of Cheese launch.
“At Brodflour, we know the importance of sustainability and the impact the food industry can have on the environment, and we strive to focus on organic/non-GMO, good-for-you ingredients,” the retailer said. “The partnership was a no-brainer for us - we love to support, and be supported by, innovative and environmentally conscious brands like Future of Cheese.”
Brodlour, which produces its products in Ontario, added: “We also partnered with Future of Cheese to develop their own shortbread recipe using their Salted Cultured Butter. Our bakers were thrilled to see how it performed just like dairy-based butters we’ve used in the bakery. We are now proud to carry both the Salted and Unsalted Butter on our retail shelves and to offer a fully plant-based version of one of our signature menu items, the Cultured Butter and Jam Slab. Our customers appreciate the shift toward a more plant-based menu and product offering, and we look forward to carrying more high-quality (and tasty) products from Future of Cheese soon.”
