Core & Rind is a healthier-for-you brand that is expanding beyond the local Farmers Market in St. Louis, MO. The woman-owned company started selling their Cashew Cheesy Sauce four years ago and have recently announced a Midwest expansion into 52 Whole Foods market locations.

While there are many dairy alternatives on the market today, Core & Rind has built a following around the idea that people should be able to enjoy dairy free cheese without fear of eating chemicals, additives, and unpronounceable ingredients. Regardless of if you appreciate a good dairy-free alternative, it’s nice to see a brand with humble beginnings finding this kind of success.
