Armored Fresh announced the U.S. launch of its new plant-based cheese products in more than 100 supermarkets located throughout New York City. The company will be debuting three types of cubed cheeses; cheddar, plain and blueberry to American consumers for the first time through retail distribution in Key Foods, Met Fresh, C Town, City Acres, and associated stores throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn. Starting in late November, Armored Fresh cubed cheese will be available for purchase nationally through its website.
The plant-based cheese cube product is made using a technique that reportedly mimics the process of creating dairy cheese while substituting almond milk and plant-based lactic acid. Armored Fresh says its cheese has a soft texture comparable to regular cheese and the fragrant flavor of regular cheese. Reportedly, the addition of "Key-mix," infuses nutrients to create a healthy, plant-based cheese that doesn’t sacrifice taste. The cheese also contains protein levels similar to dairy cheese, with up to 20% per 100g.
