It’s usually made with processed ingredients and has earned the nickname “pâté of the South.” But Treeline has elevated humble pimento cheese by culturing it with healthy, dairy-free ingredients. Treeline Cashew Pimento Cheese is thick, creamy, and spreadable, much like their French-style cheese alternatives and cream cheese alternatives. But this version is blended with red pimento peppers and a touch of jalapeno peppers for a tangier, slightly spicier, and bolder flavor.

You won’t find cheddar, Velveeta, mayonnaise, Miracle Whip, flavoring, or anything like them in this plant-based spread. Treeline uses whole food ingredients and dairy-free cultures to naturally craft that bold cheesy taste and creamy texture.

We loved it!
Tasted straight, it’s a bit tangy and just a touch spicy. I wasn’t too sure about it, but then I slathered it on some bread and both my husband and I loved it! Great for sandwiches and bagels, too. It really adds some flavor and I love the ingredients. I don’t feel guilty slathering it on thick!
