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.*

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.

Ingredients: cashew nuts, filtered water, green peppercorns, sea salt, lemon juice, l. acidophilus.*

Chipotle-Serrano Pepper

Perfectly creamy and great on so many dishes

Rated 4.0 out of 5

February 21, 2019

This soft cheese is rich and thick, but perfectly spreadable. I think it mimics the consistency of very dense cream cheese (like the ones sold in blocks), but has more interesting flavors and far better ingredients (in my opinion). The flavors are intriguing and definitely cheesy. I tried all but the herb-garlic, and they each added zing to crackers, bread, salad, and pasta. My only complaint is that they are just a touch too “lemony.” A little less tang would make them more versatile and darn near perfect in my book.
