With more than 30 years in the market, La Vaquita has become an iconic brand for the US Hispanic community. The company's Queso Fresco cheese is their most popular product, and it has a special and regular place at the table of Latino families in the US.

In spite of the current economic crisis, the company has continued to increase its market share. La Vaquita is the second largest Hispanic cheese brand in the US in spite of its limited distribution, and it has played a role in growing the Hispanic cheese category in the US. Total US production of Hispanic cheese increased 183% percent from 1996 to 2008.

According to Elizabeth Castro, VP of Sales and Marketing, "La Vaquita offers our customers the flavors, smells, and memories that take them back to their mothers' kitchens. That's why they prefer our products."

As many stores modify their assortment to cater to the growing Latino population, La Vaquita has been a key partner. The company not only provides high quality products, but it also lends its expertise to help its partners succeed in the Hispanic market.

The brand is available at many popular retailers, including Fiesta Mart, H.E.B., Kroger, Wal-Mart, Buy For Less, and many others.

La Vaquita has also transcended cultural boundaries. Non-Hispanics have turned to La Vaquita for many reasons: to satisfy their need for authentic Latin-flavor, as a lower fat but flavorful alternative to other cheeses, or to take advantage of the fact that La Vaquita cheeses are vegetarian.

To learn more about La Vaquita line of products, or to schedule an appointment during the show, please contact Castro Cheese directly at 713.460.0329 or via email at info@castrocheese.com.

About Castro Cheese Company

Founded in 1971, Castro Cheese Company is a leading manufacturer, marketer, and distributor of Hispanic cheeses and creams. The company markets its products under the "La Vaquita"(R) brand and is well known for the high quality and authenticity of its products.

If you want to know the difference between the terms, be at Loca Luna on August 26th from 6:00-8:00 PM and ask anyone with the National Latina Business Women Association. These ladies are meeting with a purpose; to encourage membership in the organization formed for the support, mentoring, and education of Latinas.

There is a natural, perhaps cultural, camaraderie between these women that is inspiring. And that enthusiasm extends beyond their ranks. The Board of Directors for the NLBWA is comprised of some of the most active community-minded professionals you are likely to meet; a diverse international group of businesswomen that govern the organization with a commitment to take action; action to support the rich and underrepresented potential of Latinas in Atlanta's workforce. The goals define the programs, and programs are focused on empowerment and education.

When asked about the upcoming gathering, NLBWA Board President, Lily Winsaft, said, "For aspiring Latina entrepreneurs or Latinas interested in advancing their current careers, this event is not to be missed! NLBWA is dedicated to enriching the professional and business lives of Latinas. Our chapter - launched recently in Atlanta - is all about helping Latinas break through the barriers to success in business, whether it is climbing the corporate ladder or succeeding as business owners. The choices available in today's world can be daunting and we all need help navigating the myriad of resources out there. NLBWA is a membership organization that benefits Latinas in business through networking, connections, mentoring and educational workshops. All are welcome!"

Sponsored entirely by Loca Luna, voted one of the top 10 Latin Clubs in America by USA Today, the evening will include: free parking, cash bar, hors d'oeurvres, door prizes, networking opportunities, and a unique international brand of Girl Power! You will find Loca Luna… and the NLBWA, at 550 Amsterdam Avenue, NE Atlanta, Georgia 30306. Be there. " Blogante News from HispanicTips.com - THE BEST HISPANIC - LATINO NEWS
