Daiya Foods has unveiled a new flavour addition to its recently reformulated plant-based cream 'cheeze' line: Roasted Garlic & Herbs. The dairy-free spread is made with pieces of roasted garlic, as well as herbs and coconut cream. The new offering comes in a recyclable tub and is free from gluten, soy, peanuts and many other common allergens. "Our most spreadable cream cheeze recipe ever unites garlic lovers everywhere and invites consumers to discover new recipes and usage occasions," said Dan Hua, VP of marketing at Daiya. "Just in time for vegans or plant-based explorers to celebrate something new this Veganuary, we're excited to deliver more delicious taste, robust flavour and dairy-like texture through a wide variety of flavours and products." Daiya also recently launched a Classic Mozza Style Block, which can be shredded, sliced, grated or snacked on. Last year, the company reformulated its plant-based Blocks – which are now made with oats and chickpeas – to achieve a “superior dairy-like performance”.
