Dairy-free cream cheese alternatives are commonly made from almonds and cashews to replicate the creamy texture that consumers have become familiar with but Spero Foods offers an inventive alternative that's made from sunflowers. The plant-based cheese-style spread is made with minimal ingredients, as seen in the classic and plain variety featuring just six clean ingredients.
The brand also offers flavored varieties like The Herb Cream Cheese, The Smoked Cream Cheese, The Cinnamon Cream Cheese, a spicy Redpepper Cream Cheese and The Goat, which is the brand's own plant-based take on goat cheese. The newest flavors from the brand are fun ones like pumpkin, strawberry and chocolate.
The versatile spreads can be spread, used as dips, baked, whisked, mixed into sauces or enjoyed by the spoonful.
