We found a wonderful vegan dip at Trader Joe’s: Almond Chipotle! In our haste to sample it, we simply dunked a plain cracker into it, and this is a great way to go. The dip is not thick, but it’s incredibly flavorful and spicy. We proceeded to try it with veggies, which is also delicious, …
Treeline vegan cheeses are a staple in our house, and we were excited to see this new pimento flavor appear in the store. This lovely cashew-based cheese is mixed with pimentos and jalapeños for a lightly spicy flavor (despite the jalapeños, this cheese isn’t too spicy). It’s delicious on crackers and could probably also be …
We’ve been hearing about it for a while now, and we finally got to try it! This dairy-free version of the delicious Boursin cheese is incredible. (It’s made with Follow Your Heart, another beloved vegan brand and one of our favorites). The cheese comes in a good-sized tub (which, if you’re like me, is still …
This “salmonesque” spread from Trader Joe’s is fantastic, especially for those (veg and non-veg alike) who enjoy salmon. Its creamy texture is soy based, and the capers and dill add to the salmon flavor. It’s absolutely delightful on crackers, bread, and veggies, and I can only imagine the festive appetizers one could come up with. …
When we first saw that Violife’s amazing cream cheese comes in another flavor, we naturally had to try it, even if a cheddar cream cheese sounded a bit unusual. However, as odd as it sounds at first, I was so pleasantly surprised that this is now my new favorite spreadable cheese. It’s creamy, with a …
You may have already read our review of Cultured Kindness’s brie-flavored vegan cheese, and we were thrilled to sample the “Pepper Jill” flavor as well. The brie flavor was delicious despite tasting nothing like brie, but this peppered cheese is spot-on perfect in terms of both flavor and labeling. It tastes just the way a …
What a joy it was to discover Cultured Kindness cheeses at the grocery! Especially when we saw the word brie along with the word vegan. This “brie” variety is smothered in fresh herbs, which make it especially beautiful (and flavorful). The texture (cashew-based) is perfect: thick, creamy, rich, highly spreadable. The only problem we had …
Another delightful vegan snack at Trader Joe’s is this Cashew Fiesta Dip. As the name implies, this creamy dip is cashew based, and it has nice flavors (with spices including chili, garlic, and jalapeño). Our only critique would be that it could be a lot spicier; this is pretty mild (though those who love more …
We sampled a few Plant Perks cream cheeses a while back, and recently had an opportunity to try two new flavors: Smoked Gouda and Sriracha Cheddar. Both flavors are creamy and thick, perfect for spreading on crackers. The Smoked Gouda has an amazing flavor, the closest we’ve come to tasting “real” Gouda since becoming vegan. …
After trying Havarti Dill, we decided that while it wasn’t quite what we expected, it was definitely worthwhile to try another flavor. This garlic & herb variety is even better. Among two of us tasters, one of us prefers this creamy texture and milder flavor to the Treeline cheeses that are so good on crackers …
It was fun to see this new cream cheeze from Plant Perks at our local natural-foods store, especially with one of our favorite herbs. This cashew-based cream cheeze is thick and creamy; due to the flavor, we thought we’d try it on crackers first, but it was a little bland compared to other vegan cheeses …
In addition to the Roadhouse Cheddar, we also found Roadhouse Biergarten Garlic Chive locally — and we have to say, it’s even better than the regular cheddar version. This one has all the rich, lovely cheddar flavor of the regular “Cheers to Cheddah” version but with garlic and chive for extra zing. This flavor isn’t …
It was amazing to find this Roadhouse Cheddar at our local grocery, especially because the last few times we tried to order it online, it had been sold out. First, we have to say one of the best things about Miyoko’s is that all of the products have the word VEGAN right on the package. …
Having sampled a few delicious Violife cheeses recently (imported from Portland), we were thrilled to find Violife cream cheese on the shelf of one of our local groceries. Based in Greece, Violife has been making 100% vegan, non-dairy, non GMO foods since the 1990s, and these amazing products are now available in the U.S. (Click …
When ordering cream cheese (not yet available where we are) from the Miyoko’s website, we noticed this Limited Edition Double Cream Tomato Garlic & Chive and promptly added it to our shopping cart. While we were very disappointed in the scallion cream cheese, this one did not disappoint. If you love Double Cream Chive as …
