PLYMOUTH, Wis., April 29, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Sargento Foods is bringing premium aged cheeses to the shredded cheese category for the first time with the launch of its new Reserve Series™. So, to help spread the news and give consumers the opportunity to taste this new specialty cheese, they're delivering pizzas, for free, with the World's Slowest Pizza Delivery.

There's only one catch. You have to wait up to 18 months while the cheese ages to get your pizza.

Sargento® promises free pizza to patient pie lovers with the World's Slowest Pizza Delivery.

Sargento's World's Slowest Pizza Delivery gives consumers the opportunity to choose from four flavorful pizza creations featuring the new Reserve Series™ - shredded cheese that takes up to 18 months to age, adding incredible depth of flavor and texture to meals. These pizzas will be prepared using the new Reserve Series™ flavors including, Aged Italian Blend, Shredded 6-Month Aged Gouda, Shaved 14-Month Aged Parmesan and Shredded 18-Month Aged Cheddar.

"At Sargento^®, we believe that good things come to those who wait – especially cheese. Our new Reserve Series™ shreds are a great way to elevate your everyday meals, so what better way to try our new aged shreds than sprinkling them on the food you know and love?" said Stuart Manning, Senior Marketing Manager on Sargento Shredded Cheese. "With our World's Slowest Pizza Delivery service, you will be able to choose from four flavorful pizzas, including Margherita, Apple Bacon Gouda, Chicken Parmesan and Mac 'n' Cheese. Better yet, you can track your pizza's progress and watch the cheese aging via our live cheese cam."
