As part of its Cutting Board Collection—which is loved by many vegans and those who need to cut down on dairy—Daiya debuts a special cheese blend with a new and improved formula. The product is now made with chickpea protein which contributes to the taste profile, as well as its texture. In addition to no dairy, the vegan cheese blend also contains no gluten, soy, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, and shellfish, making it ideal for those on a stricter diet.
Aside from the 'Cheddar & Mozza Blend,' the Cutting Board Cheeze Shreds also includes Pepperjack Style, Cheddar Style, and Mozzarella Style. The format—that is, the shreds that the product comes in—is quite convenient and perfect for when one is making a pizza or is looking to top off a meal, without any fuss.
