SAN FRANCISCO — Forager Project®, a family-owned and operated plant-based food company, has launched a line of organic, plant-based cheeses. The dairy-free cheeses are uniquely crafted to perform and taste like dairy cheese using the company’s probiotic cashewmilk yogurt as the base. This line of organic, dairy-free cheeses is unique in the category for many reasons:
- Melt & Stretch. It’s the cheesiest vegan cheese with the best melt and stretch and amazing taste and texture just like dairy cheese.
- Simple Ingredients. The focus is on creating the highest quality cheeses with the fewest ingredients possible and NO modified food starches.
- Always Organic. It is possible to make exceptional vegan cheese 100% organic. All Forager Project products are always organic, and cheese is no exception
- Always Plant-based. Forager Project is a well established plant-based company that has been crafting foods since 2013.
“Here at Forager Project, we’re dedicated to amazing our consumers with great tasting plant-based foods in every creamery category,” said Forager Project Co-Founder and CEO Stephen Williamson. “With the launch of cheese, we’re excited to give our consumers even more delicious, plant-based options while staying true to our mission to make plant-based foods more accessible for everyone.”
Forager Project’s new CHEESEWORKSTM line-up of organic, dairy-free cheeses (available in chunks and shreds) include:
- Organic Jack Cheese: This vegan Jack is perfect on plant-based burgers, grilled cheeses and burritos.
- Organic Queso Fresco Cheese: Great for balancing heat and bringing flavors together, this cheese is perfect for nachos, quesadillas, enchiladas and more.
- Organic Mozzarella Cheese: With its soft texture, delicate flavor and incredible melt & stretch, this is the perfect pick for Margherita pizza or a vegan meatball sub.
- Organic Parmesan Cheese: With its nutty flavor, this is the perfect pick for pasta, caesar salad, or atop roasted Brussel sprouts
Forager Project’s new line of cheeses will be available at retailers nationwide this spring for $5.99, including Fresh Thyme, Sprouts, Central Markets, Stop & Shop, and more.
