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.

Delicious Vegan Cream Cheese!
I bought the chive and onion at Sprouts and think it’s great!
Disgusting
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.
Horrible
I’ve had every vegan dairy substitute you can think of and this by far is the worst.
Worst Vegan Cream Cheese Ever!
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!!!
Texture and flavor is closest sub for the real thing.
I’ve tried every kind of nondairy substitute on the market over the years while managing my lactose intolerance. This is the first nondairy cream cheese that actually get the texture right!! I’ve had great luck using the plain flavor as a 1-1 replacement in cake frosting and can’t wait to try it in my stuffed french toast recipe. Keep making more flavors, Natures Fynd!!
One of the best!
Easily one of the best vegan cream cheeses I’ve had yet! It’s so smooth and spreadable that you’d think it was softened butter. In fact, it even melts into the toasted surface of a still-warm slice of toast, infusing all that goodness right into the bread itself. The original flavor is perfect for either sweet or savory applications, which makes it incredibly versatile.
