The Moocho’s cheese shreds have been expanded by the brand with a number of plant-based options for consumers to pick up when looking for a plant-based alternative to use in their favourite recipes. The products come in three varieties including Cheddar, Mozzarella and Fiesta Blend, which are all made using fermented cultures and aged using traditional cheese-making techniques. This is reported to deliver an exceptionally flavorful and high-quality product that is vegan-friendly, gluten-free, non-GMO and cholesterol-free.
President and CEO of Moocho and Tofurky Jaime Athos spoke on the new Moocho’s cheese shreds saying, "Category research suggests shoppers see a gap in the plant-based cheese category where brands haven’t been able to provide a taste and texture that people crave. Moocho aims to improve category perception and impress a market hungry for delicious, affordable and accessible plant-based options. As a category, we can do better now, with more ingredient options available."
