29 February 2012, Tokyo – Following the recent renewal of its onboard wine list last month, Japan Airlines (JAL) will offer a new lineup of Japanese cheese for First and Executive Class customers on select international routes from 1 March 2012.
JAL has been offering assortments of quality cheese from around the world for its meal service to premium customers onboard its international flights. From March, JAL would like to invite its customers traveling in First and Executive Class to discover the uniqueness of Japanese cheese and through it, also the richness of Japanese culture.
Japan has many established dairy farms throughout the country, notably in Hokkaido with its cool climate and vast farmlands. As this initially-European culinary culture gradually began to find its place among the Japanese people, production of cheese in the country also started taking root mainly with pasteurized milk used to create mild-flavored cheese. Today, to satisfy a more diverse palate for all kinds of cheese, Japan produces a wide variety of world-class quality.
First Class customers can choose to simply enjoy the rich flavor of the different types of cheese available, or a specific type with a complementing snack. An assortment of 16 types of cheese have been chosen for months up to August – offering five types in First Class and three in Executive, with a change in selection at the end of May.
