They had some issues with the product shelf life of their dairy-free cream cheese, so they’ve added mushroom extract and citric acid to help resolve that problem. But what many don’t know, is Kite Hill Cream Cheese also underwent a very minor reformulation. Last year they added Garden Veggie to their year-round selection, and this year, the seasonal pumpkin pie brings them up to five flavors.
Kite Hill Cream Cheese Style Spread Now Sold in 5 Popular Flavors We’ve got the details on all of the flavors below, followed by reviews! In fall, you might spot their vegan pumpkin cream cheese, and now, their vegan strawberry cream cheese has returned. They now have four core flavors, and rotate in some seasonal varieties. It’s a close call-you really can’t go wrong here with either of these two brands.It’s become a mainstay in the dairy-free cheese department, but that doesn’t mean the makers of Kite Hill Cream Cheese Style Spread have stopped innovating. I think I’d go with Tofutti over Kite Hill, but I am enjoying Kite Hill to apply to baked goods such as muffins in addition to bagels. They are sort of opposites that both excel in this category. Tofutti is smoother in flavor and firmer, while Kite Hill has a very light/smooth texture and sharper flavor. It is hard to decide, despite the fact they are easily comparable: they are both vegan cream cheeses. Now…you may ask, do I prefer this to Tofutti? Hmm. A great vegan alternative to cream cheese that I enthusiastically recommend for that purpose and more. Light, tangy, smooth, and yet, actually creamy. So…I would say that the Kite Hill Almond Milk based Cream Cheese is an excellent imitation of cream cheese. It was more muted when spread onto a bagel with strong flavor of its own, say pumpernickel, but it still came through a bit. It was a little sweet, but the tang was what really stayed with me. Its flavor texture was on the coarser side, sort of chalky (it had…some grit). It really had the more intense tangy flavor character of cream cheese, even more so than Tofutti had. The taste was definitely sweeter/tangy than I had expected. And I did like this plain vegan cream cheese. So the variety of the Kite Hill Cream Cheese alternative line I tried was just the plain version as that’s the way I like my cream cheese. Texture is a big part of cream cheese, but it has to taste good too. It has a more ‘moist’ quality to it that works well to counter dry breads too…as in, you want to dip the dry edges into it so everything you eat is covered with this nice, luscious spread. It really looks and feels the part of cream cheese, though, in my mind, I’ve been comparing it more with frosting. I was so surprised at how smooth it was to spread.
The Kite Hill Almond Milk Cream Cheese spreads so easily and gracefully. This almond milk based cream cheese is no exception to that. Almond milk is light-in calories and body. The base for Kite Hill’s vegan cream ‘cheese’ is almond milk rather than tofu as with Tofutti. Kite Hill Cream Cheese is another brand of vegan alternative cream cheese, like my previously reviewed Tofutti cream cheese.
