Miyoko’s Creamery has expanded its range of dairy-free products with the launch of a new Jalapeño Plant Milk Cheese Spread. The product combines organic cultured cashew milk with jalapeño peppers and is made using traditional creamery techniques.
The spread joins the company’s existing portfolio of plant-based cheese spreads, which includes Classic Chive, Roadhouse Cheddar, and Sundried Tomato, which were launched in 2023. Each variety is formulated with a short list of ingredients intended to offer a dairy-free alternative that replicates the texture and flavor of conventional cheese spreads.
“It’s important that we keep our innovation approachable, familiar and just as delicious as traditional dairy options”
The Jalapeño variant is currently being sold in Nugget Market locations, with broader retail distribution anticipated during the summer. The suggested retail price is $6.99 for an 8-ounce tub.
According to the company, the spread is designed to be used in a variety of applications, including as a topping for crackers, an ingredient in savory dishes and sauces, or as a snack on its own.
Time-tested production techniques
The company, based in Sonoma, California, produces dairy-free cheeses and butters using fermentation and creamery-style methods typically associated with traditional dairy production. Its product lineup includes items such as European-style cultured vegan butter and a pourable plant milk mozzarella, which was recently added to the menu at DoubleDave’s Pizzaworks locations.
The company describes its approach as rooted in craft production, using time-tested techniques to produce plant-based versions of traditionally dairy-based products. The new jalapeño spread continues that strategy, with a focus on flavor and usability in both cooking and direct consumption.
CEO Stuart Kronauge stated, “As more consumers dabble in eating and drinking dairy-free, it’s important that we keep our innovation approachable, familiar and just as delicious as traditional dairy options. Jalapeño Plant Milk Cheese Spread checks off all of those boxes.”
