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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lark-health-companion-app) 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.
