Brooklyn-based brand RIND by Dina & Joshua has announced the launch of ALPINE SVVISS, a new cashew-based artisan vegan cheese.
ALPINE SVVISS is gluten-free, cholesterol-free, and certified Kosher Pareve. The product was introduced at the Specialty Food Association Winter Fancy Food Show, held from January 19 to 21, 2025, at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
“We’ve long wanted to create a vegan cheese that captures the distinctive flavor of Swiss, and our ALPINE SVVISS does just that,” RIND co-founder Dina DiCenso said in a statement. “With its rich and savory flavor profile, it’s a delicious new option for cheese and charcuterie boards, sandwiches, salads, and more.”
