Dairy alternative products by Miyoko’s have been a huge hit. They’ve released vegan cream cheese, pub cheese, and cheese wheels that can be delivered with vegan wine. These products have been so successful that Miyoko’s even received a $6 million investment to expand. Now Miyoko’s Kitchen will be releasing a line of nut-free vegan cheese!

Miyoko’s products, such as their cheese wheels, roadhouse cheeses, cream cheeses, and more are made with a cashew nut and coconut oil base, but the new products will be more allergy-friendly and affordable. Miyoko Schinner says they’re using a variety of beans such as garbanzo and butter beans, as well as seeds for protein. The new cheeses will have protein, fiber, and be organic, and will have half the calories that traditional dairy has.

Although the exact flavors of the new cheeses haven’t been announced, Schinner did say that so far there will be three new flavors of very traditional styles of cheese that will melt perfectly for grilled cheeses and pizzas, as well as a snackable cheddar for moms to put in their kids’ lunch boxes.

Un-hulled sesame seeds have a very nutty, almost smoky flavor that makes this cheese unique. If you like sesame seeds then you’ll really like this cheese, and if you can’t eat nuts you’ll like it even more! This is an absolute must-try on crackers.

Natasha Condie‘s Sunny Hemp Cheeze spread is delicious and great for those times where you crave something rich and creamy. Just be sure to omit the optional cashews if you’re nut-free! It’s relatively easy to make because it doesn’t require any fermenting, draining, or any special equipment at all other than a good blender or food processor.
