    Nature’s Fynd Dairy-Free Cream Cheese is a New Type of Alternative

    0
    By Alisa Fleming on October 28, 2022 Dairy-Free Cheese Substitute Reviews, Product Reviews

    In case you haven’t noticed, fermentation is trending. Some of it is problematic for dairy-free consumers. But many innovators are using it to develop umami flavors in products made specifically for us, like Nature’s Fynd Dairy-Free Cream Cheese. Nature’s Fynd uses fermentation to grow their trademark product Fy, which is a fungi protein that contains all 9 essential amino acids. It’s the base for these allergy-friendly alternatives.

    It tasted fine for a second, but then took a turn for the worst

    Fynd needs to rework their formula or maybe it’s like how people are genetically super sensitive to the flavor of cilantro, the other 1-star reviews are sensitive to their mushroom extract flavor. Either way, this was one of the worst and weirdest flavors I’ve ever had in a cream cheese. I think Nature Fynd’s breakfast sausage patties are great by the way, I recommend them! So learning that they made a cream cheese I was hopeful. But wow, that mushroom flavor must be at odds with me or something. I love mushrooms too! But this flavor, god it tasted like what you imagine fungus to taste like. It tasted like body odor. The first second I tasted it, it was nice. The texture was great, light acidity from the lactic acid, a nice creaminess, but then you get that mushroom flavor and it just sticks to the back of your throat. It’s just horrible. It’s a musty flavor in the worst way possible. And it’s not even the dominant flavor, it comes through more in the aftertaste, so it just ruins the whole initial experience. Freshly opened package and no sign of any spoilage, smelled fine. If that flavor was gone, this could be a great vegan cream cheese, but it’s tastes horrible to me. And it’s an interesting split in the reviews here lol. Very polarizing haha, you either like it or it’s the worst tasting thing ever.

    I never write online reviews, but for this one I googled if anyone else thought this was a weird cream cheese and found this website and am glad that some of the reviews also agreed, I thought my taste buds were broken and it was just me.

    I’m still uncertain about “Fy” itself and want to do more research but based on taste alone, I give this 5 starts. The texture is workable, but to be expected. I have tasted almost all vegan/dairy free, many with poor ingredients or seed oils. SO unless I find out something alarming about “Fy”, I’m going to keep purchasing.

    Tastes like Dairy Cream Cheese

    I tasted the original version of this cream cheese for the first time today on a bagel . To me it tastes just like Philadelphia brand cream cheese . I found the texture as well as the taste to be excellent . There was not an after taste like other non dairy alternatives . I was very pleased with the quality of the product and would buy it again

    My son is dealing with food allergies that have made it harder then it already is to keep a 4 year old well fed! This is very close to the spreadable Philadelphia cream cheese, but I do prefer the chives flavor for my son and I. He likes to use it as a dip with his Annies crackers which makes this mama very happy.

    Tastes like… fungi

    By far the worst vegan cream cheese FLAVOR. Tastes like mushroom cream cheese. There’s nothing subtle about the fungi flavor.

    Spreadability – great. Texture – great. Taste – negative 10.

    This stuff is horrible. It tastes more like a thick sour cream than cream cheese. I’m throwing away most of it.

    Tasted rancid, I’ve never tried a product that was this disgusting and hadn’t gone bad. Spit it out and had to throw out the whole tub and my bagel, put my mouth under running water while gagging and trying not to throw up. How did the creators of this cream cheese make it, try it, and then still decide they were going to sell this. It should be illegal. Wasted $6 and a bagel.

    Worst Vegan Cream Cheese Ever!

    January 27, 2023

    I’ve been vegetarian/plant based for 11 years. I recently purchased this cream cheese for the first time for my bagels. I wish I’d known how bad the smell and taste was before I bought it. I’ve never tasted anything so horrible as this cream cheese. I had to throw the whole thing away. I am so disappointed!!!
