RIND Launches Bleu Crumbles, a Plant-Based Alternative with Roqueforti Cultures

RIND has launched a new plant-based product, Bleu Crumbles, that replicates the tangy flavor and creamy consistency of traditional bleu cheese. These crumbles are versatile and suitable for a variety of dishes, including salads, dips, burgers, sandwiches, and baked goods. They are dairy-free, gluten-free, cholesterol-free, and allergen-free, with plans to achieve Kosher Pareve certification by fall 2025.

One of the standout features of the Bleu Crumbles is the inclusion of roqueforti cultures, which contribute to the distinct bleu cheese flavor. Unlike other plant-based cheese alternatives that rely on natural flavors and colorings, RIND uses real mold cultures to create an authentic taste. The product is available in 4-ounce containers at a suggested retail price of $5 and will be offered for foodservice, continuing the brand's commitment to creating innovative and high-quality plant-based cheeses.

Founded in 2017 by Dina DiCenso and Joshua Katcher, RIND is known for its artisanal, plant-based cheeses produced in its state-of-the-art cheese cave located in the Brooklyn Army Terminal. With products carried by over 60 stores and restaurants across North America, including prestigious retailers like Whole Foods Markets and Erewhon, RIND is making a mark in the plant-based cheese market with its unique offerings.
