Vegan cheeses now come in shreds, blocks, and creamy spreads, yet cottage cheese remains one of the few dairy staples that continues to challenge even the most determined plant-based innovators—but not Treeline Cheesemakers, because it just released a Non-Dairy Cashew Cottage Cheese.
Treeline Cheesemakers is known for its non-dairy cheese, sour cream and dips made from premium cashews and probiotics, and this new release adds something new to its wheelhouse. This vegan cottage cheese, complete with curds, is rich not only in texture but also in the numerous benefits of probiotics.
Simply made, this non-dairy cottage cheese by Treeline Cheesemakers is created from a combination of cashew cream, modified starch, high oleic expeller pressed sunflower oil, salt, lactic acid, xanthan gum, and cultures.
