American Home Food Products, doing business as Artisanal Premium Cheese, has signed a distribution agreement with Coastal Sunbelt Produce, a leading supplier of fresh produce and specialty items in the Mid-Atlantic.

Under terms of the agreement, Coastal Sunbelt will distribute Artisanal Premium Cheese to its customer network including restaurants, hotels, and caterers in Maryland, Virginia, Washington DC, and Delaware. Artisanal will serve as culinary advisor to Coastal Sunbelt as it enters the high-end cheese market and will train the firm’s sales professionals on plating, cutting, and pairing the cheese.

The partnership with Coastal Sunbelt complements Artisanal’s previously announced distribution agreement with Baldor Specialty Foods and expands its distribution footprint from Boston MA to Washington DC.
