KENT, WA--(Marketwire - October 27, 2009) - Monterey Gourmet Foods (NASDAQ: [ PSTA ]) -- Kent-based specialty food company CIBO Naturals (pronounced chee-bo) has introduced a flavorful addition of White Cheddar & Chive cheese spread and brand new product packaging, featured throughout its current all-natural soft cheese spread line.

For nearly 18 years, CIBO Naturals' soft cheese spreads have been an everyday gourmet option for enhancing simple-to-prepare entrees and quick entertaining solutions.

Celebrating the holiday entertaining season, CIBO Naturals has introduced its newest innovative spreadable cheese flavor, White Cheddar & Chive. This new fresh-tasting flavor can help turn any impromptu gathering into a delicious all-natural success, simply by adding a dollop to liven-up fresh vegetables, create a stuffed mushroom amuse bouche or jazz up devilled eggs or mashed potatoes.

"Since the original soft cheese recipe was developed in a small Seattle catering kitchen back in 1991, CIBO Naturals' dedication to creating high quality great-tasting products has remained unchanged. Our soft cheeses are sure to be the perfect secret ingredient throughout the holiday season," said Monterey Gourmet Foods' CEO, Eric Eddings.

Made using only all-natural ingredients, CIBO Naturals' current line features four gluten-free soft cheese flavors. All four soft cheeses will retail for $4.99 MSRP (6 oz.) and can be found displayed in sleek new colorful packaging -- still with its signature cut-out leaf -- in the refrigerated section of select grocer aisles nationwide, beginning in October 2009.

CIBO Natural soft cheese spread flavors:

 -- Basil Roasted Walnut -- Garlic Sun-dried Tomato -- Smoked Jalapeño -- NEW! White Cheddar & Chive
