Dairy Free Shredded Spicy Mexican Style Blend Cheese Alternative

At Trader Joe’s, we endeavor to provide as many plant-based options for our customers as possible, even (and especially!) when the challenge is considerable. Our most recent venture in finding vegan versions of normally non-vegan fare brought us to a supplier in Greece, who specializes in plant-based cheese alternatives. They made for us this Dairy Free Shredded Spicy Mexican Style Blend, which combines a variety of vegan cheese alternatives into a single, peppery, plant-based blend. We were intrigued. Then, when we saw how well it melted (a notoriously difficult feat for non-dairy products), we were hooked. We think you’ll be, too. 
 
Savory, spicy, and remarkably creamy, Trader Joe’s Dairy Free Shredded Spicy Mexican Style Blend is great for any situation that calls for cheese: topping tacos, filling quesadillas, sprinkling over salads—you name it. With its blend of vegan shreds and savory spices, including cayenne, cumin, and dried jalapeño peppers, it brings a pleasant, building heat to any dish it’s added to. While it’s especially suited for Mexican, Tex Mex, or Southwest cuisines, we certainly wouldn’t stop there: try it on a plant-based patty melt with Impossible Burger or a stuffed bell pepper, and you’ll see exactly what we mean.
