In fact, the Cashew Cream Cheeses in Plain, Chive and Onion and Strawberry varieties boast only eight ingredients or less and take after the processes involved in [traditional cheesemaking](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alpine-svviss), especially when it comes to fermentation. While the plain variety is made with a base of cashew nuts and filtered water plus sea salt, lemon juice and probiotic bacteria, the berry-flavored version boasts an equally simple ingredient list plus cane sugar, dried strawberries and beet powder for color. The Cashew Cream Cheese spreads are not just vegan but also soy-free, gluten-free, paleo-friendly and Non-GMO Project verified.
