Daiya Launches Spicy New Dairy-Free Cheese: Chipotle Cheddar and Pepper Jack

Vancouver-based plant-based brand Daiya has introduced two new dairy-free cheese options: Chipotle Cheddar Shreds and Pepper Jack Slices. Both products are made with the company's proprietary Oat Cream blend, providing a creamy texture and meltability similar to traditional dairy cheeses. The Chipotle Cheddar Shreds offer a bold, smoky, and spicy flavor from real chipotle peppers, perfect for tacos, burgers, or as a standalone snack. These shreds are the first in the dairy-free category to offer such a high level of heat.

On the other hand, the Pepper Jack Slices combine a cheddar-style base with jalapeños and red bell peppers for a balanced heat profile. These slices are versatile and can be used in sandwiches, burgers, and grilled cheese. Daiya's new products align with the spicy trend in the plant-based sector, responding to the increasing demand for bold and flavorful dairy-free alternatives. The company's Chief Marketing Officer, John Kelly, praised the new launches, stating that they showcase the capabilities of dairy-free products to deliver craveable heat, creamy melt, and overall deliciousness.
