ALPINE SVVISS is a new cashew-based, vegan-friendly cheese alternative from RIND by Dina & Joshua, and it's an aged, French-style product that adds richness, depth, and savory flavor to charcuterie boards, sandwiches, salads, and more. Co-founder Dina DiCenso says, “We’ve long wanted to create a vegan cheese that captures the distinctive flavor of Swiss, and our ALPINE SVVISS does just that."
Like other innovative cheese alternatives in RIND's lineup, ALPINE SVVISS is gluten-free, cholesterol-free, and certified Kosher Pareve, raising the bar for plant-based cheeses by authentically capturing the taste of beloved artisanal flavors.
At the Specialty Food Association 2025 Winter Fancy Food Show, RIND by Dina & Joshua will be sampling its newest artisanal plant-based cheese at its booth and within the SFA First Taste Experience food hall.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Plant-based Cheese Alternatives

- Artisanal Vegan Innovation
- Developing aged, French-style vegan cheeses reflects a trend towards more sophisticated plant-based offerings that appeal to traditional cheese enthusiasts.
- Gluten-free Specialty Foods
- The rise in gluten-free certifications on specialty foods indicates a broader market shift towards accommodating dietary restrictions without sacrificing taste.
Sectors Adopting This
- Vegan Food Products
- The vegan food sector is expanding its product lines with sophisticated, cashew-based cheese offerings that closely mimic popular dairy flavors.
- Specialty Food Manufacturing
- Manufacturers are innovating within the specialty food industry to create niche products like aged vegan cheeses that cater to adventurous and health-conscious consumers.
- Gluten-free Foods
- The production of gluten-free certified products within the gourmet cheese alternative market underscores a growing cross-industry focus on dietary inclusivity.
