???? Revolutionizing Plant-Based Cheese ???? The plant-based cheese category has come a long way, but let’s be honest—many people still have PTSBrie from past experiences. That’s exactly the challenge Nuts For Cheese founder Margaret Coons set out to solve. From hand-ladling wheels of cheese at farmers markets to scaling a thriving company producing 6,000+ wheels per day, Margaret is proving that dairy-free can be just as creamy, crave-worthy, and delicious. With clean, organic ingredients and traditional cheesemaking techniques, Nuts for Cheese is setting a new standard—one bite at a time. Plus, they just dropped a new line of creamy, cashew-based dips (including their NEXTY Award-winning Dill Pickle flavor!) at #ExpoWest2025.
