Daiya announced that product reformulations stemming from its multi-million-dollar investment in fermentation technology are now hitting shelves across the country. Featuring the new Daiya Oat Cream blend, the proprietary cultured ingredient is now the key component across Daiya's dairy-free shreds, slices, blocks and sticks.
By utilizing vegan cultures, Daiya is utilizing age-old fermentation methods to create a dairy-free cheese made from plants with characteristics that mimic traditional dairy products. The company says that while many brands in the category continue to incorporate oil-based ingredients and GMO techniques, such as precision fermentation, Daiya is working on plant-based cheesemaking.
