Dairy-free Cheesy Sauces Now Available Thanks to Core and Rind

Core and Rind was founded by culinary nutrition experts and friends Candi Haas and Rita Childers, who yearned for a non-dairy option that would satisfy their cheesy cravings. After years of development and more than 150 variations, the two finally landed on the perfect recipe: Core and Rind Cashew Cheesy Sauce.

Each jar is a savory blend of pumpkin, cashews and olive oil, with some apple cider vinegar for tang and nutritional yeast for umami. The creamy, dairy-free cheesy sauces come in three varieties: Sharp & Tangy, Bold & Spicy and Rich & Smoky. The duo is working on a non-dairy white sauce that resembles alfredo. The brand recently went through a package redesign, just in time for launching into Midwestern Whole Foods Markets.

“Even from our humble beginnings at our local St. Louis farmers’ market, we've had a vision for our products to be on shelves nationwide,” says Childers. “We’re so excited that Whole Foods believes in our brand and mission. We can’t wait to get our deliciously cheesy sauces into more hands.”
