Organic Garage’s Future of Cheese is all-natural, organic, non-GMO and naturally opened, and it reminds of brie thanks to a traditional aging process. The product is described as a "version of a traditional delicate brie, complete with a ripened rind, mild flavor and velvety smooth texture."
Traditional cheese-making techniques and proper climate-controlled aging rooms were key parts of developing the all-natural ripened plant-based brie, which is produced in a humidity-controlled environment for 21 days. The plant-based brie is made with just five simple ingredients and no fillers, gums or starches, which makes it one of the cleanest of its kind on the market. The cheese alternative is packaged in a biodegradable container that's optimized to continue the ripening process and mature the cheese throughout its shelf lifespan.
