The Laughing Cow (French: ''La vache qui rit'') is a brand of processed cheese products made by Fromageries Bel since 1865, and in particular refers to the brand's most popular product, the spreadable wedge. ==The product== The cheese is a blend of cream, milk and fresh and aged cheeses, particularly comté, which are pasteurized to stop the ripening process. Versatile and portable because of its pasteurization process, Laughing Cow can remain unrefrigerated for a limited length of time. The archetypal Laughing Cow cheese comes wrapped in the individual serving-sized foiled wedges, and they are packaged in a round, flat box. Consumers have to pull a little red thread around the box to open it, and the foil packaging also features a red tab for opening. The company was founded in 1921. The Laughing Cow is available in these formats in different worldwide markets: * Triangles, squares or rectangles * Spreadable tubs * The Laughing Cow Dip & Crunch (or Pik & Croq in mainland Europe), previously named Cheez Dippers, which are snacks consisting of breadsticks and cheese spread, and these come in four varieties; original, light, hazelnut and pizza * Ma P'tite Vache Qui Rit, pods of cheese spread to be eaten out of the pod with a spoon, especially for younger children * Toastinette processed cheese slices, similar to Kraft Singles * Bite-sized cubes, in various flavours and designed to be served as aperitifs at cocktail parties - which are called Cheez & Fun in many European countries, and also Apéricube in France, Belgium and the Netherlands, PartyCubes in Canada, Mini Cubes in Australia and New Zealand, Mini Cravings in the United Kingdom and Belcube in Japan and South Korea. They are produced in 24- or 48-cube boxes of one flavour, e.g. blue, ham, salmon, chili pepper and olive, or they are produced in 24- or 48-cube boxes of a particular theme, e.g., Cocktails du Monde, Petites Recettes, Tex-Mex and Indian. Discontinued formats of The Laughing Cow include: * Giggles/Blop processed cheese pods for younger children * Squeezy bottles * Big Cheez Dipper (a larger version of Cheez Dippers) * Cheez Double Dippers (which contained crispy bacon flavour bits in addition to breadsticks and cheese spread). The Laughing Cow USA introduced a TV commercial in 2009 where the company introduced a new slogan, ''Have you laughed today?'' In 2010 they updated the brand's website to include cheese recipes. Laughing Cow cheese is available in its original flavor, a light version with 7% fat, and an ultra-light version with 3% fat. In addition, flavored versions of the cheese (such as ham, gruyère, garlic, paprika, mushroom, chèvre, bleu, hazelnut, pizza and onion) are also available in various markets worldwide. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Laughing Cow」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
