Armored Fresh Almond Milk American Slices
Armored Fresh – which drew attention with its plant-based cheese in 2022 – is ready for another round.
The company has honed its development and produced Almond Milk American Slices, featuring a soft and chewy texture.
The South Korean producer has paid exacting attention to the cheese's melting properties to improve its unnatural texture – one of the biggest challenges in the vegan cheese market. Melting properties – the degree to which cheese melts when heat is applied – has long been considered technically difficult to implement in the vegan industry.
The company launched the plant-based cheese at CES 2023 in Las Vegas in January, hot on the heels of its plant-based cheese cubes at CES 2022, which received a sensational response and currently sold at more than 200 stores in New York.
According to the producer, the cubes have been successful at completely overturning the preconceived notion that ‘vegan cheese is hard and breaks apart’.
“Knowing there’s a big demand for such alternative dairy products, we're pleased to offer this superior zero dairy cheese,” said founder and CEO Rudy Yoo.
“With big plans to expand into nationwide markets and European market opportunities, Armored Fresh is pleased to announce our next step into this journey of innovation. Be on the lookout for Armored Fresh cheese in your local store and shop."
Yoo hinted that products in the pipeline include a Cheddar, Pepper Jack and Monterey Jack.
