Cocos Organic, a British company that is perhaps most reputed for its innovative range of yogurt alternatives crafted with coconut-based ingredients, is making a bold step into the plant-based cheese category with the introduction of an organic spreadable cheese that is crafted from 92 percent coconut milk.
This particular milk-free spreadable cheese is made with a high-powered fermentation process that utilizes live vegan cultures to ensure that gut health benefits available from fermented food products are not lost. With a soft and easily spreadable texture, this spreadable cheese offers versatile use cases ranging from sandwiches to desserts, with its slightly tangy flavor helping elevate a variety of snacks and dishes.
This coconut milk-based spreadable cheese can be purchased at Waitrose locations in the UK for around $3.46 for a 150-gram tub.
