This is the first product I’ve tried of Nuts for Cheese. It is their Chipotle Cheddar fermented cashew vegan cheese option. It comes in a wedge and is a dark orange hue. It says it slices, shreds, melts, and spreads. We only really tried slicing it and spreading it.

As for the flavor…well, this is where it shines. Or, rather, burns. It’s spicy. It just hits and lingers. It has a raw, fiery heat to it. It does not lack at ALL in flavor. In addition to the spice, it has a sort of salty umami flavor. The texture is sort of gritty so together it really made me think of liver pâté. Kind of made me a little bit nostalgic.

It paired pretty well with the Food for Thought Pear Preserves too—cut the heat, anyway!

Absolutely recommend this punchy vegan cheese. Super tasty and powerful flavor and a creamy yet gritty texture.
