You might remember Heidi Ho from Shark Tank. Back in 2014 Lori Greiner invested in the dairy-free cheese alternative company. Every shark agreed that Heidi Ho tasted great, but it was the energetic founder, Heidi Lovig, that made the QVC queen bite.
At first, there was a surge of Heidi Ho in stores. But then their shelf space slowly slipped away, until no one could find this beloved veggie-cashew cheese alternative. Fortunately, the brand didn’t go under, and they have regrouped. Heidi Ho Cheeze Dips have resurfaced in the Pacific Northwest and several major stores.

Help I would like to place a order
We need it in Minnesota
Great alternative
Having to be gluten and dairy free is not easy. This is a great alternative for not missing pasta, nachos, yummy casserole, etc

I bought this, brought it home, removed the outer carton and saw that there was MOLD inside the (still) sealed package. And the best by date wasn’t for another 3 1/2 weeks. So there was no reason why there should be mold.
I contacted them through email and sent pictures of the MOLDY PRODUCT, but they never answered my email.
It is actually the first vegan cheese I’d ever bought so it was a pretty bad first experience haha! Hopefully other brands don’t disappoint like this one did.
I have tried the creamy flavor and I really like it as a nacho dips, my kids do too. I have tried it with mac and cheese as well but it’s more spicy I think than traditional mac and cheese. I liked it but my family didn’t so much as mac and cheese. But two thumbs up for a nacho cheese dip!
Thanks for sharing this Amy!
This looks nice! I haven’t tried it personally but I agree with Rebecca, the flavour options is a nice touch. I could do so much with these products!
I so wish my boys could do nuts. It seems there are some really great nut cheese options. Looks great.
I can’t say I’ve tried this either, due to a nut allergy, but I love that the ingredient list includes REAL foods.
I look forward to hearing what you think of this brand once you have a chance to try it. I love all the flavors.
I really like this cheese a lot! I bought a bunch of it, and then the next time when I bought a few at a new store, I opened it up and they had mold inside. I contacted them and they were SO great about it and sent me a bunch of free coupons. It’s so awesome to have a company take a negative moment (most likely the store’s improper handling), and making it better!
That is SO awesome Erica. The way you handled it was great, too! Thanks for sharing.
I haven’t seen this brand before, but I always love added veggies in a product. I also like that they use cashews instead of almonds since I have an almond allergy!
Loving the unique flavors options they have!
