John B. Sanfilippo & Son Inc. has purchased substantially all of the assets of the Just the Cheese brand business from Specialty Cheese Co. Inc. for an undisclosed sum, according to a press release.

Just the Cheese produces baked cheese snacking brands and offers 100% real cheese snack bars and cheese crisps. Its products can be found online and in a variety of retail outlets in flavors like aged cheddar and grilled cheese.

"The acquisition of Just the Cheese, which currently will not have a significant impact on our financial results, will provide us a product that expands our portfolio into new snacking categories," CEO Jeffery Sanfilippo said in the press release. "Additionally, the assets and capabilities acquired will be complementary to our existing product portfolio and are expected to lead to exciting innovation opportunities."
