Say Cheezecake! Daiya Launches New Dessert Line

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Daiya Foods (Daiya), the leader in dairy-free cheese products, is excited to launch the first ever dairy-free, gluten-free, soy-free cheesecake. Daiya's Cheezecakes will be available soon in a grocer near you in 4 deliciously dairy-free flavors, including New York, Key Lime, Chocolate and Strawberry.

"We're very proud to be a small company that truly listens to its consumers," said Michael Lynch, vice president of marketing for Daiya. "And what we heard loud and clear from them was the need of a dairy-free solution to desserts. Whether you practice an alternative diet or have allergy restrictions, we know our Cheezecakes will delight the taste buds no matter what your lifestyle is." 

With creamy, smooth textures and packed with rich fillings layered on top of an artisanal gluten-free crust, Daiya's Cheezecakes are wonderfully delicious treats that make dessert or snack time special. The New York flavor features that classic cheesecake taste you've come to love and is infused with real vanilla, while Key Lime is a sweet and tangy delight. Chocolate-style uses a signature blend of cocoa powders and Strawberry bursts with the sweet and natural flavors of its namesake fruit. The Cheezecakes are so rich and creamy, you'll never know they are dairy-free.

"The feedback we're receiving from consumers and retailers alike is incredible," continued Lynch. "Practically everyone who tastes the product is amazed to discover that a cheesecake that tastes so rich, creamy and indulgent is dairy-free, gluten-free and soy-free. It's truly one of those situations where you have to taste it to believe it."

Daiya has been aggressively expanding its dairy-free offerings, launching the first-ever dairy-free, gluten-free and soy-free pizza in late 2014. The new Cheezecakes join the company's non-dairy Cream Cheese Style Spreads, Slices, Blocks and Shreds.

Cheezecakes carry a suggested retail price of $8.99, and will be available at leading grocers across the country. For more information, visit www.daiyafoods.com
