Miyoko's Launches Cultured Vegan Pizza Mozz For Foodservice
New mozzarella-style cheese is 100% plant based.
Miyoko's Creamery, a plant dairy brand known for its award-winning vegan cheeses and butter crafted 100% from plants, has launched Cultured Vegan Pizza Mozz, ready for immediate delivery to the foodservice industry. The new mozzarella-style cheese tastes and performs like its cow dairy analog and can be used for pizzas, lasagnas, Philadelphia-style cheese steak sandwiches and Italian style dishes--anything that would require a melted mozzarella. The first foodservice partner will be one of Northern California's cult pizza chains, Pizza My Heart, debuting in their restaurants in Palo Alto, CA and Monterey, CA.
"This new mozzarella, like our new cheddar and pepper jack, is a true game-changer. Based on the reception it has received in taste tests, we know our Cultured Vegan Pizza Mozz will appeal to omnivores as much as it will to vegans and vegetarians," said Miyoko Schinner, CEO and Founder of Miyoko's Creamery. "We've challenged ourselves in our research and development with the goal of eliminating the excuses to eat more compassionately. People eat a lot of pizza--billions of slices a year. When products made 100% from plants taste and perform like their cow dairy counterparts, it makes it easy for people to switch, and in turn, eat healthier while being more compassionate to animals and our planet."
