Daiya is expanding its newly reformulated plant-based cream cheeze line with a fresh new Garlic & Herb flavor that appeals to "vegans, flexitarians, reducitarians and plant-based explorers alike." This new flavor from the trusted plant-based cheese brand is made with real pieces of roasted garlic and herbs in a decadent, super creamy plant-based cream cheeze spread.
The free-from spread is made without dairy, gluten, soy, peanuts and other common allergens, which is part of the reason that it appeals to such a broad audience—aside from its craveable texture and rich flavor. This savory, plant-powered spread has the potential to complement both warm and cold dishes and its ultra-creamy texture promises to help people say goodbye to torn-up bagels and toast that's ruined by tough-to-spread cream cheese.
