Follow Your Heart expands plant-based cheese offerings
Follow Your Heart is continuing to make it easier for fans of its products to enjoy the flavors of cheese —without the dairy.
The Los Angeles-based company is adding not one, but three new plant-based cheese varieties to its portfolio.
New additions include dairy-free bleu cheese crumbles, dairy-free finely shredded cheddar and dairy-free finely shredded mozzarella.

“We’ve rewritten the rule book with this trio of cheeses to close a wide gap in the dairy-free cheese category and further satisfy the increasing demand for plant-based alternatives,” Bob Goldberg, the CEO and co-founder of Follow Your Heart said. “Our new finely shredded cheeses are not only rich and creamy, they have an unbelievable melt. Plus, our new lusciously creamy bleu cheese crumbles are a game changer and will have dairy cheese consumers switching without any sacrifice.”
All three new launches are vegan, free of dairy, soy, casein, gluten, lactose and preservatives, and do not include GMO ingredients, the company said.
We hope our consumers enjoy our new cheeses on their plant-based pizzas, tacos, salads, burgers and much more,” said Goldberg. “It has always been part of our mission at Follow Your Heart to create high-quality vegan foods that enhance the lives of our consumers, and we believe these cheeses will make it easier and more accessible to make delicious plant-based foods.”
Available in 6-oz. tubs, the dairy-free bleu cheese crumbles are available in Whole Foods Market, Stater Bros., and select Acme and Safeway stores across the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast.
