As more consumers opt to avoid animal-based products in favor of plant-powered foods, Terra Nut Cheese, a New Zealand-based food brand, is setting itself apart with the launch of its new vegan probiotic-cultured cream cheese. The new offering by Terra Nut Cheese was designed to be enjoyed on crackers, toasts, and more and offers a delicious option for those looking to reduce their consumption of animal products.
“I started making nut cheeses with my partner Lark in 2017. As a vegan, I wanted to create healthier options for us. We were trying to follow a whole-food, plant-based diet, but couldn’t find wholesome and oil-free vegan alternatives that would be great on crackers, bagels as well as in dishes like creamy pasta or risotto,” company’s founder, Alexandra Verkholantseva stated.
