Bel Brands UK has expanded its Nurishh portfolio with the launch of two new dairy-free cheese alternatives to add to its range. The two new launches include Plant-Based Garlic & Herbs Spread and Gran Vegiano. Gran Vegiano comes in a pre-grated format and is dairy-free, lactose-free and only uses natural colours and flavourings. The plant-based alternative to parmesan is also rich in calcium and Vitamin B12. Plant-Based Garlic & Herbs Spread contains sunflower seeds and bamboo fibre and offers a source of calcium, Vitamin B12, fibre and protein for consumers. Justine de Monès, senior brand manager at Nurishh, said: "Not only will the expansive range help our retailer partners meet growing consumer demand but it’s also a core part of our ambition to diversify with a greater focus on healthy snacking, keeping dairy at the heart of Bel UK as we also develop complementary fruit and plant-based options". Nurishh Gran Vegiano will be available for an RSP of £3.50 per 150g and will be launching in ASDA from April and Co-op from May. Nurishh Plant-Based Garlic & Herbs Spread will be available for an RSP of £2 per 130g and will be launching in Waitrose from May.
