Summer's here and Daiya has launched two new plant-based innovations just in time for BBQs, pool parties and other warm-weather activities.
Daiya Grilling Cheeze Block, the first plant-based grilling cheeze made with oats and chickpeas, forms a crispy, golden-burst outer crust without melting away when grilled or fried, and a new Feta Flavor Block crumbles easily for use in hot or cold recipes.
"The chance to once again gather with family and friends to reconnect over our favourite foods this summer provides the perfect opportunity to awaken new and exciting culinary experiences with people—and flavors, some new and some familiar—we love," said Dan Hua, vice president of marketing at Daiya. "Our new artisan-inspired cheeze blocks, crafted with wholesome plant-based ingredients for an authentic Mediterranean taste, will inspire new tasty and robust creations and ensure those with dietary restrictions don't have to miss out."
Daiya's Grilling Cheeze Block is meant to be grilled and pan-fried (or even deep-fried or air-fried), maintaining its shape without melting. Crispy on the outside but creamy on the inside, this unique plant-based grilling cheeze also features tangy notes of herb and garlic throughout and will add an unexpected twist to all your favourite Mediterranean-inspired dishes. Not only is it the perfect addition to grilled burgers and kebabs, but it's also a great compliment to salads, sandwiches, wraps and mezze platters.
Inspired by traditional Feta cheese from Greece, Daiya's versatile Feta Flavour Block is salty, tangy and bright with a semi-smooth bite. It is thinner in shape than Daiya's other plant-based blocks, which allows for an easy and satisfying crumbling experience – Daiya Feta Flavour Blocks are made with certified gluten-free oats and a touch of olive oil—an ideal addition to salads, wraps, bruschetta, pasta, pizzas and more.
