Crafted with real, simple organic ingredients, including the brand’s best-selling cultured Cashewmilk Yogurt, Forager Project’s new line of cheeses will become your go-to staple for all of your plant-based recipes and meals
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
We got a chance to sit down with Forager’s CEO Stephen for a special Q&A on their innovative line.
-What was your inspiration behind creating this new plant based cheese line? Our goal with CHEESEWORKS was to fill a gap we saw in the organic, plant-based cheese market by creating a delicious and functional plant-based cheese with simple ingredients using our #1 selling probiotic cashewmilk yogurt as the base. We are committed to providing amazing plant-based foods in every creamery category, and cheese is no exception. Our plant-based CHEESEWORKS line stands out for its simple ingredients – contains no modified food starches, it’s 100% plant-based organic vegan cheese, and has incredible dairy cheese-like melt and stretch.
-Which cheese is your personal favorite? QUESO FRESCO. I love to crumble it on Black Beans and Avocados – that’s almost a daily staple for me.
-Do you see forager’s new cheese being used in restaurants in the near future? Yes, our goal is to make our plant-based foods more accessible to consumers wherever they are – whether at home, on-the-go, or in a restaurant. Trying out cheeses or any of our products in a restaurant, cafe, or out-of-home setting is a terrific way for our consumers to sample and experience our products.
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. Finding goodness in vegetables, nuts and fruits, Forager Project crafts products in its own California creamery with a small team of artisans. Each product is organic, gluten-free, soy-free, and certified vegan. Additionally, the products are naturally fermented, using live active cultures, and use ethically sourced and sustainably farmed ingredients.
