CU launches new cheese-based convenience foods for winter
South Korean convenience store chain CU has launched new cheese-based foods for winter.
The range has two styles: foods served with a separate cheese sauce for dipping, and foods made with melted mozzarella or cheddar.
Dipping options include spicy chicken and pork kimbap with jalapeño cheddar sauce.
The melting-cheese range includes kimbap and a burger filled with cheddar and mozzarella.
Other products include gratin, mac and cheese, and a cheese hot dog, sold as chilled ready meals.
CU plans to add more cheese dishes, including gratin and burritos, to the range.
