Good Planet Foods has expanded its range of dairy-free, olive oil-based cheese products with the launch of a new cheese slice line.
The new slices are available in cheddar and smoked gouda flavours. They have been created with non-GMO, vegan ingredients and contain less than half of the calories of dairy cheese slices, according to the brand.
Each slice contains no saturated fat or cholesterol, thanks to its olive oil base – many vegan cheeses are made with coconut oil, resulting in high saturated fat content. Good Planet explained that olive oil was chosen due to its heart health benefits and ability to deliver the ‘delicious cheese experience’ that consumers want.
The olive oil slices can be melted into any recipe, are well-suited to grilling in a sandwich or can be enjoyed as a snack straight from the bag.
Bart Adlam, co-CEO at Good Planet Foods, commented: “We’ve had a great response from retailers and consumers following the launch of the first-ever olive oil cheese. Our new olive oil cheese slices deliver on unique usage occasions for consumers with outstanding flavour, texture and melt-in-your-mouth quality, all with minimal saturated fat.”
Good Planet’s new cheese slices are rolling out in April at Whole Foods Market and further selected retailers across the US.
