He made ice cream out of cottage cheese. It's now headed for 1,500 stores.

How do you build a frozen category that didn't exist, then get Sprouts, Whole Foods, and a 500-store retail win in your first year?

Smear Case is the first and only frozen cottage cheese ice cream.

Half the fat, half the calories, and the most protein of any pint on the shelf.

Joe coined and trademarked the word "Froco" before he'd sold a single unit, won the Albertsons Innovation Launchpad pitch at Expo West (and 500 stores with it), and is closing in on 1,500 doors nationwide.

If you're a CPG founder trying to create a category instead of fighting for shelf space in an existing one, this conversation is the playbook.
