Recognizing that consumer demand for plant-based food products is only continuing to grow, Treeline Cheese is introducing a new line of plant-based cream cheeses. The new line of tangy cream cheese alternatives is prepared with a base of cultured cashew nuts and other natural ingredients to create classic flavors like Plain, Chive & Onion and Strawberry.
While the Plain cream cheese alternative boasts a rich and creamy texture from just five simple ingredients, the Strawberry spread shares sweetness from real berries and the Chive & Onion variety incorporates savory ingredients for a well-balanced blend of flavors.
As Treeline describes, "As more consumers look to reduce their dairy intake, the introduction of delicious and creamy plant-based cheeses that match the rich flavors and consistency of dairy cheese is driving category growth. Treeline appeals to a broad spectrum of consumers from flexitarians to vegans."
