Daiya

Daiya is a brand of vegan cheese alternatives made from a blend of plant-based ingredients. The company was founded in 2008 by Janie Duprat and produces a range of products designed to mimic the taste and texture of traditional dairy cheese. These include cheddar, mozzarella, provolone, and pepperjack style shreds, as well as blocks, slices, and cream cheese alternatives. Daiya's products are made without common allergens such as dairy, soy, gluten, nuts, and eggs, making them a popular choice for individuals with dietary restrictions or those following a vegan lifestyle. The primary ingredients typically include water, coconut oil, potato starch, and various flavorings and seasonings. Daiya cheese is commonly used in cooking and baking, as well as for snacking. The brand has gained significant distribution in supermarkets and health food stores across North America and in other international markets. The company emphasizes its commitment to creating delicious and accessible plant-based food options.
