Papa Mountain Officially Launches into Market with New Packaging, Non-GMO Project Verification, and Nutritional Claims
PRESS RELEASE — NEWS PROVIDED BY Solomon Cohen for Papa Mountain
AUGUSTA, GA (OCTOBER 2025) — After years of grassroots development, Papa Mountain, a Georgia-based clean-label food brand, is officially launching into the market with a new packaging design, Non-GMO Project Verified and OU-D kosher certifications, and updated nutritional callouts across all four SKUs.
Founded in 2017 by single father and entrepreneur Solomon Cohen, Papa Mountain began at local farmers markets, selling handmade cheese bread rolls in simple platsic bags. Over the years, Cohen refined the recipe, upgraded packaging through multiple iterations, and rebranded while maintaining a commitment to authenticity and real ingredients. In 2024, the company partnered with a co-manufacturer to scale production and prepare for broader distribution.
Papa Mountain’s product line features fully baked, gluten-free bread rolls made with real simple ingredients. Each roll is ready in minutes—just heat and eat—and offers six grams of protein per serving. Dairy SKUs, such as Cheddar & Parmesan and Garlic & Herb, are made with organic grass-fed dairy and whole eggs, while vegan varieties like Chili Lime and Sweet Potato & Herb provide plant-based protein and vitamin B12.
Achieving Non-GMO Project Verification for a dairy-forward product was a complex process. “We went to the ends of the earth to find a dairy that met both Non-GMO and OU-D kosher standards,” said Cohen. “As a small brand, it wasn’t easy—but it mattered to us to get it right.”
Papa Mountain recently signed with Advantage Solutions to spearhead its national launch in natural and specialty retail channels. The brand has also appeared on QVC multiple times, sharing its story and its “chef-inspired, family-favorite” rolls with customers nationwide.
