It all started as a local food product sold at a Vancouver farmer’s market just five years ago. Today, Spread’Em Kitchen Cashew Soft Cheeze is enjoying distribution across Canada in seven different flavors. (We’re hoping they make it to the U.S. soon too!)
Each variety of this rich vegan spread is fermented for a cheesier flavor and probiotic nutrition. They’re also made with whole food ingredients, and thus suitable for all types of dietary needs, beyond just dairy free.
Spread’Em Kitchen Cashew Soft Cheeze is Cultured in Several Savory Flavors
Spread’Em Kitchen doesn’t offer a simple “plain,” but instead they have unique meal-making options with bold global ingredients. You can use them as a spread, dip, or you can warm them to create dairy-free cheese sauce alternatives.

It is good but it's not cheese
I got the smoked flavor…it tastes like a sundried tomato hummus with a creamier texture. It tastes pretty good but..it’s not cheese at all imo which is not a big deal but I think hummus products are cheaper.
To die for…..
Hands down this will change the cream cheese industry….I have NO desire to go back to dairy for my cream cheese and plan to use this as a spread for all kinds of dishes.
Pretty darn yummy
I tried the Chives and Garlic. Not impressed when I tried it right out of the fridge, but when it warmed up to room temperature, WOW. I had it as a dip with raw veggies, great for a snack at work.
I did repurchase it!
