If you ask me, cashews are the secret to dairy-free believers. They’re rich, creamy, and have a perfectly mellow flavor that melds well with so many ingredients. Which is why products like Credo Cashew Queso have emerged in recent years. It’s a relative newcomer to the vegan cheese alternative market that’s made purely with plant-based ingredients, and happens to be paleo-friendly, too!
Credo Cashew Queso isn’t a Philosophy, it’s Real Dairy-Free Cheeze
Credo emerged last year, but they revamped their look and have been gaining distribution this year. Their current line up includes four uniquely cheesy vegan varieties, including “chorizo!” Once you buy and try any of these flavors, leave your unbiased rating and review below. It helps others!

This has a good taste and isn’t too spicy.
Queso
I tried the medium one at a party. It was pretty good! I would buy it if on sale.
Wow! I can't believe it's not Queso!!
This is the closest I have ever found to compare to a dairy based Queso! The fact that it’s OIL FREE is the icing on the cake!! I tried the medium Queso and I cannot wait to try the others!!
