Plant-Based Soft Cheeses

The Cathedral City Our Plant Based Range Now Includes Soft Varieties

The Cathedral City Our Plant Based range has been expanded by the Saputo Dairy UK-owned brand to provide consumers with an alternative option to try out in place of conventional soft cheeses.

The Spring Onion & Cracked Black Pepper Alternative to Soft Cheese is a versatile product perfect for elevating a wide range of recipes with its creamy, flavorful profile. The product is being launched in response to soft cheese being the fourth most in-demand format after block, sliced and grated varieties. The cheese alternative will be right at home within the market where plant-based products are quickly gaining more momentum.

Head of Marketing for Cathedral City at Saputo Dairy UK Neil Stewart commented on the new addition to the Cathedral City Our Plant Based range saying, "At Saputo Dairy UK, we think all cheese and cheese flavoured products should taste great. Our cheese experts have created a new format and flavour profile which is enjoyable for those with dairy allergies or who want to reduce their dairy consumption."
