Plant-based cheese has entered a new era. One defined not by compromise, but by craftsmanship, intention, and truly great flavor. At The Vreamery, we seek out makers who are shaping what the future of dairy-free cheese can be. Rose City Creamery is one of them.
Handcrafted in Portland, Oregon, Rose City Creamery creates plant-based artisan cheeses that honor classic styles while pushing the category forward. Every wheel reflects years of refinement, a deep respect for ingredients, and a belief that everyone deserves exceptional cheese, no matter how they eat.
From Humble Origins to Artisan Excellence
Rose City Creamery’s story began in Eugene, Oregon in 2013, when the original cheese recipes were first developed under a small vegan cheese company. Over time, Earthly Gourmet stepped in, first as a supplier, then distributor, and eventually the operator of a café in Portland.
When plans to run the café were ultimately shelved, the focus sharpened. Instead of expanding outward, the team looked inward, refining recipes and preparing them for wholesale production. That decision changed everything.
The result was a line of cheeses that delivered on both flavor and consistency, earning wholesale success and laying the groundwork for what would come next.
One Name, One Vision: Rose City Creamery
As Earthly Gourmet expanded into plant-based ice cream and soft serve, it became clear the brand needed a single identity. The two product lines were unified under one name: Rose City Creamery.
Today, Rose City Creamery represents a clear vision rooted in quality, creativity, and intention. While the company produces multiple product lines, its cheese program remains deeply focused on artisan techniques and small-batch production.
Crafted for Everyone at the Table
Rose City Creamery’s goal is to create plant-based cheese using the cleanest and highest-quality ingredients possible. These cheeses are made to be enjoyed by everyone, including those who cannot consume dairy, those who choose not to, and those who simply love great cheese.
These cheeses are best enjoyed with thoughtful accoutrements, a good bottle of wine, and great company.
