Cacique sought to repurpose cheese trim as an ingredient in cheese dips. Mattson formulated a line of four refrigerated Queso Dips using cheese trim, found a co-manufacturer, and assisted during commercialization. The Cacique Queso Dips launched in July 2019, achieving national distribution within the first quarter, notably at retailers like Sprouts and Kroger. The product was recognized as a Progressive Grocer Editor’s Pick for Best New Product in 2020.
