This week, we’re excited to introduce you to The Laughing Cow (of which I’m sure you need no introduction)! Their portion-controlled, individually wrapped cheese products are some of our favorites! We were THRILLED when they signed on as our BREAKFAST SPONSOR for Saturday morning (we’ve seen the menu and it’s going to be amazing!). Read more about The Laughing Cow below and then enter to win your own Smooth Sensations™ Cream Cheese Spread prize pack!
——————–
1.How long has The Laughing Cow been around? Can you tell us a little bit about how and why you got started?
La Vache Qui Rit (known to you as The Laughing Cow) was born in 1921. It was both the first spreadable cheese and the first brand name cheese in France! The perfectly portioned wedges we all love were created in 1924 and remain a global favorite today.
The deliciously rich and creamy Smooth Sensations™ Cream Cheese Spreads from The Laughing Cow® were released in March 2012. We’re excited to announce that we will be sampling NEW Smooth Sensations™ Cream Cheese Spread Chive & Onion 1/3 less fat, which just launched this year.
2. What products does The
Laughing Cow specialize in?
Individually wrapped and portion-controlled, The Laughing Cow® Cheese Wedges, Mini Babybel® Cheeses and Smooth Sensations™ Cream Cheese Spread are the most popular brands owned by Bel Brands USA Inc.
3. What sets The Laughing Cow apart from your competitors?
Smooth Sensations™ Cream Cheese Spread from The Laughing Cow® makes it easy to start your day off right. Masterfully churned for a delectable creaminess in each perfectly portioned wedge, Smooth Sensations Cream Cheese Spread is 45 calories per wedge and one-third less fat than regular cream cheese, and will add the perfect pick-me-up for your whole grain toast, bagels and fruit.
4. We are SO excited to have The Laughing Cow at Blend Retreat. How will you be involved this year?

I love all the Laughing Cow spreadable wedges. I recently found my first White Cheddar ones at Sam’s. yum-o!
My absolute favorite is the strawberry. I eat it EVERY day on toast!
I LOVE the cream cheese spread the very best – with crackers! All of the flavors are tasty!!
Just tried that cinnamon one for the first time on some toast the other day, it may be my new favorite now! So delicious!!!

Ahhhh laughing cow. Totally my favorite cheese product ever. I love the garlic & herb one — I use it on whole wheat crostini paired with bruschetta.
And followed/tweeted! @deelizabeth_
I love the strawberries and cream. I never see the cinnamon one and want to try it!
I’m following them on Twitter & tweeted!
I like the original mini babybel rounds.
The cream cheese comes in four of the 1/3 less fat flavors — Classic Cream, Strawberries & Cream, Cinnamon Cream, and Garden Vegetable, each with only 45 calories and 4g fat per wedge – not bad! I prefer the Strawberries and Cream and the Cinnamon Cream – they are really good! I like to stash a few in my purse and then head over to my favorite bagel spot for a warm, fresh bagel, and top it with The Laughing Cow Cream Cheese Spread. By using my light cream cheese, but still getting the not so Weight Watchers friendly bagel, it makes me feel like I’m only being half bad :). Their website also has some great recipe ideas, and I’ll be working a few myself very soon. This is definitely a must have item to keep stashed in your fridge if you are a cream cheese junkie!
Love the light blue cheese ~ blue cheese anything rocks my socks!
Followed and Tweeted….. 🙂
