About This Product

Experience a masterfully balanced blend of Mediterranean inspiration and plant-based craft. Scratch House Date and Pomegranate Fromage is a soft, cultured cashew cheese that dances between sweet and savory. The richness of organic dates and the bright, syrupy tang of pomegranate molasses are folded into a creamy base, then finished with a vibrant “rind” of ground sumac berries. This sumac coating adds a unique citrusy zing and beautiful texture to every slice. Infused with Organic Lion’s Mane mushroom extract, this fromage is as functional as it is delicious—a sophisticated addition to any brunch spread or evening cheese board.

Storage and Serving

This is a fresh, cultured product. To maintain the delicate balance of the pomegranate and sumac, follow these guidelines:

• Refrigerated: Keep at 40°F or below. For best results, keep the block wrapped in its original packaging or parchment paper and enjoy within 14 days of opening.
• Freezing: This fromage is freezer-friendly! You can stock up and keep it frozen for up to 3 months. For the best experience, thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving to preserve the creamy texture.

FAQs

What is Sumac?

Sumac is a spice made from dried, ground berries. It has a beautiful deep red color and a surprisingly bright, lemony flavor. In this fromage, it acts as a “zesty” rind that cuts through the creamy richness of the cashews.

Is this cheese very sweet?

It is “naturally sweet.” The sweetness comes entirely from the whole dates and the pomegranate reduction, but it is balanced by the tang of the fermentation process and the salt, making it firmly a “cheese” rather than a dessert.

Does it have a firm or soft texture?

It has a soft, spreadable texture—similar to a traditional dairy Fromage Blanc or a soft goat cheese. It is easy to spread on crackers but holds its shape well enough to be sliced into wedges for a board.
