How it does good
Keeping allergy-free options open
Food products contain a host of ingredients, not all of which are necessary for taste or quality. Core & Rind's founders built their business around the simple idea that food should be both nourishing and nutritionally valuable. That means no added chemicals or preservatives, just whole ingredients. They spent years perfecting their recipe for a plant-based, non-dairy cheese sauce. It's also gluten-free and soy-free, making them a great, allergy friendly choice.
Core & Rind has gone above and beyond with their cashew sourcing. They use fully transparent suppliers in Brazil, with verified Organic practices to ensure there's no risk in their supply chain.

About the Brand
Core & Rind
As culinary nutrition experts, Candi and Rita spent years developing their classic Cashew Cheese Sauce. Their goal was to make better-for-you food that tastes really good, too. They were motivated to create a product that would not only help themselves, but everyone else too. Core and Rind Cashew Cheesy Sauce was born from years of trial and error in their very own kitchens—no food labs and scientists involved here.

Core & Rind Cashew Cheesy Sauce
I did not think it was very good. It has a vinegar taste to it and does not taste like cheese.
United StatesSimply Addicting
I absolutely love this “cheese” sauce!!! It pairs well with any cracker and tastes great over pasta. I’ve given up dairy and was thrilled when I tasted this amazing product. This sauce is truly addicting and I can say that I’m guilty of getting several relatives hooked on it as well!
United StatesWant Mac and cheese?
Cheesy-est product. A couple of tablespoons in my protein pasta and I’m in Mac and cheese heaven.
United StatesDidn't love the flavor, too tangy
I was excited to try this but unfortunately it just wasn't for me. The flavor is just not cheese-like. I was really hoping for cheddar-like sharpness. Instead the taste was strongly on the tangy side. I was ok with it when I mixed with salsa, but I was looking for something that I could put on eggs or have more as a straight cheese substitute. My one positive note was that the texture was good, smooth and creamy.
United StatesToo tangy
I didn't love this... while the texture was great, the flavor wasn't for me. I didn't get much cheese flavor, I was really hoping for something sharp and cheddary to use with veggies & proteins (which I know is a lot to ask from a vegan dip!) but instead all I got from it was "tangy". Not bad when mixed with salsa but ultimately I didn't like it as a stand-alone sauce. I do appreciate the straightforward ingredients list.
