To make it in today’s food industry, fledgling company’s need an edge (or two) that sets them apart. Being dairy-free, gluten-free, or vegan is no longer enough. And all-natural, simple ingredient lists are pretty much expected. So Plant Perks Cheeze Spread took it to the next level with probiotics. They culture their dairy-free cheese spreads for the best taste, consistency, and a nutritious boost. And to differentiate their product even more, Plant Perks enriches each flavor with organic mct oil.

Best vegan cream cheese I've tried
Plant Perks is by far the best vegan cream cheese I’ve tried. It’s flavorful, smooth, and creamy. The siracha cheddar has just the right amount of kick without being overpowering and the smoked gouda has a very rich flavor. Looking forward to trying out smoked provolone as well. It’s not cheap, but none of the other brands I’ve tried are even close. Highly recommended!
