Chickpea-Based Cheese Alternatives

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Daiya Reformulated its Fan-Favorite Plant-Based Cheeze Blocks

— December 8, 2021 — Lifestyle
Daiya has reformulated its fan-favorite Cheeze Blocks. The plant-based cheese brand and pioneer of plant-based products now offers Cheeze Blocks made with oats and chickpeas. In addition to its plant-based ingredients, the blocks are free from dairy, gluten, and soy.

Daiya's new and improved Cheeze Blocks recipe is creamier and more balanced in taste than its previous formula. The blocks boast a semi-firm bite and a smooth finish. Consumers can shop from various Daiya flavors, including Medium Cheddar, Jalapeno Havarti, Monterey Jack, Smoked Gouda, and its newest flavor, the Classic Mozzarella. The versatile, plant-based blocks are ideal for sharing, slicing, and grating. As the holidays approach, these are sure to complement any charcuterie board by offering dairy-alternative cheese snacks.
