Treeline Creamy French-Style Soft Nut Cheese Spreads Flavor on Thick
The texture of this soft nut cheese is consistent across each flavor. It’s thick and rich, but quite spreadable. The mouthfeel is creamy with the slight telltale notes of a hand-crafted cashew cheese alternative.
Scallion
The taste of this flavor is savory and pungent with somewhat bold onion notes. It also has a lemony zest that provides a little more tang than you might expect.
Ingredients: cashew nuts, filtered water, onion powder, sea salt, dried scallions, lemon juice, l. acidophilus.*
Nutrition (per 1-ounce serving): 90 calories, 7g fat, 4g carbs, 1g fiber, 0g sugars, 4g protein.*
Green Peppercorn
It’s surprisingly not that peppery, but rather infused with subtle spice that mellows the lemon just enough to provide a little more body and versatility. It’s great on salads or as a spread.

Chipotle-Serrano Pepper
The heat in this flavor is notably spicy yet deep and flavorful rather than straight-up hot. The bolder flavor also tempers some of the lemony tang.

Tastes like saw dust
I have tasted quite a few vegan cheeses and I still haven’t found one that I will buy again. I am French and the “french-style” wording irritates me, this has nothing to do with any kind of French cheese ! It does not even taste of herbs nor garlic.
A waste of money in my opinion, not worth the $7+…
Delicious with no added oil
I was looking for a cheese alternative with little or no cholesterol or saturated fat that also tasted good. I saw the Treeline French-style herb-garlic cheese at Fred Meyer, and, although it was more expensive than the other cheese substitutes, I decided to take a chance. So glad I did! My favorite sandwich used to be regular cheese and spicy pickle. Now I spread 1/2 ounce of Treeline cheese on one piece of bread and a thin amount of hummus on the other. In between I have some of the following: avocado, sliced tomato, roasted red pepper, broccoli sprouts, lettuce or spinach, and, of course, my home-made spicy dill pickles. I love this cheese; I just wish it weren’t so expensive.
Awesome Every Time!
I actually just purchased this tonight from a Kroger Smith’s store in S.L.C., Ut . I have had it before and I really enjoy it. I usually get through a bit a day, but, I enjoyed the entire tub today with bagel. Guilt- free. I love the texture and taste, and knowing that I put something healthy in my body besides salad, fruit and vegetables is great by me. Highly recommend!
Mine was on sale for less than 2$ today, so I ofcourse purchased a few of them !
Too lemony--Disappointing
At a whopping $7 for a little tub, it actually is worth the money as it does last for awhile. But the taste is highly disappointing and bland. While the texture is great,the lemon overpowers everything. So I basically am eating creamed lemon. I bought the chive flavor but can’t taste it. As there is lemon juice in all their flavors I’m guessing the lemon overpowers them too. I think I’ll stick to Tofutti and just add in my own chives and onion powder…or heck, buy some silken tofu and add the chive and onion powder. Basically…I won’t be dropping anymore money on them.
Disappointed
Had already tried the scallion flavor but found it somewhat bland. Just tasted the herb/garlic flavor and was sorely disappointed. I didn’t notice any herbs or garlic. Mostly it tasted like lemon. It was an expensive waste of money as far as that particular flavor is concerned. Liked the creamy texture but won’t buy again.
Perfection
Never can be too lemony. That’s what gives it the perfect tang needed. Otherwise it would be flavoreless. As most Vegan cheeses have no flavor. Sooo expensive. Please make more realistic so more people will buy.
To Die for Nut cheese
Out of this world. Dipped cucumbers and almonds in them on top of kale for an easy quick lunch.
I love it.
Grocery store had it marked way down. I didn’t know what to expect. I’m not a vegan. I put it on some woven whole wheat crackers. I think its delicious.i love the fact that the ingredients list is so simple
Great Tasting!
These are quite tasty; I’ve even used them as a quick mix in for pasta. 4 stars given as the price is a bit on the high side for the package weight.
Very good
Everything is great except it’s got too much lemon.

This stuff is sooooo good! I’m not even a full fledge vegan (mostly vegetarian). I even had a 100% carnivore try some and he liked it too. I love love love the chipotle. I tried the scallion but it needs more onion flavor.
Unfortunately because I can eat 1/2 of the container in one sitting, I don’t buy it very often. 🙁 Keep up the good work!
Thanks for sharing your feedback Robin!
Didn’t realize probiotics were in it until after I bought it. I like the product but I’m sensitive to fermented, cultured foods. This stuff made me sick. Will never buy again.
