I love a creamy, spreadable cashew cheese and this is exactly that. I do
not think it tastes like cheddar but I like the flavor - just wish it was maybe a bit stronger. Delicious, though. The smoked flavor is from paprika and not liquid smoke so it is not overwhelming or artificial tasting. It is so smooth and creamy. Will absolutely purchase again and looking forward to trying other flavors. A bit expensive, but comparable to similar items. High quality ingredients and worth it.
