Credo Cashew Queso isn’t a Philosophy, it’s Real Dairy-Free Cheeze

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!

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!!
