About This Product

Experience the bold, sophisticated funk of a true artisanal classic. RIND Bleu is a mold-ripened revelation in the world of plant-based cheese. Featuring an intense bleu mold rind—occasionally speckled with white—it encases a yeasty, buttery body that melts on the tongue. As it ages, characteristic bleu (often appearing green or black) veins may appear, developing the sharp, piquant flavor that bleu cheese lovers crave. Crafted from a base of cashews and tofu, this round is Certified Kosher and offers a soft, creamy texture that stands up to the finest traditional counterparts.

FAQs

Why does the mold look green or black?

That is perfectly normal! RIND uses authentic bleu cultures. Just like traditional Roquefort or Gorgonzola, the mold can vary in color from deep forest green to grey-black as it develops. This is where the intense flavor comes from!

Is the rind edible?

Absolutely. The rind is a concentrated source of flavor and is an integral part of the RIND Bleu experience.

Is this freezer-friendly?

While you can freeze it, we recommend enjoying this one fresh. Freezing can alter the delicate texture of the mold-ripened rind and the creamy body.
