The Druzhba processed cheese present in almost all Russian stores in American supermarkets has become a delicacy with an impressive value. Details are provided by the SHOT Telegram channel.

A package of 90 grams of Druzhba in the USA is sold for $ 4.07, that is, a kilogram of the product costs all $ 45 or 3.5 thousand rubles.

A jar of "Amber" known to Russians overseas is sold for $ 8 at all, "Coral" — for about $ 7. And the demand is only growing, the Americans have tasted the product.

For the period from January to May of this year, imports amounted to 33.4 tons, which is 39% more than in the same period a year earlier. Experts of the food market associate this trend not only with a large number of immigrants from Russia and the CIS countries in the USA, but also with the fact that Druzhba was able to "melt" the taste preferences of Americans.
