New York – Tofutti Brands (AMEX: TOF), the company that pioneered delicious dairy-free alternatives to milk products, has introduced “Better Than Ricotta Cheese,” first of its kind, milk-free and cholesterol-free product that rivals ricotta cheese in flavor and texture.
Answering the call of millions of people who do not consume dairy products, Better Than Ricotta is a healthful and mouth-watering soy-based ingredient for use in such popular dishes as ravioli and stuffed shells.
The company has also added to its line of dairy-free prepared pizzas – Greek Spinach Ricotta Pizza on Delicious Whole Wheat Crust, Three Cheese Pizza on Delicious Thin Crust, Classic Mozzarella on Delicious Thin Crust, and Apple Pie Pizza on Delicious Whole Wheat Crust. This new line of pizzas uses non-hydrogenated, dairy-free Better Than Ricotta Cheese and Better Than Mozzarella Cheese. Each package comes with two individually wrapped pizzas, which are microwaveable and convenient to make for lunch, snack or dinner.
“Better Than Ricotta is a revolutionary, dairy-free product that is equivalent if not superior to ricotta cheese,” states David Mintz, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Tofutti Brands. “Better Than Ricotta took several years in the making, and we are excited to share this innovative dairy-free alternative to customers who crave the taste and texture of ricotta cheese in their pastas and dishes, but have been unable to do so either due to lactose intolerance or other dietary needs. Our mission is to develop delicious milk-free alternatives for all popular dairy products. We are committed to continue setting the gold standard for milk-free foods, so everyone can enjoy delicious dishes without dairy. Better Than Ricotta is a result of that ongoing mission.”
In addition to being a healthful substitute for the more than 50 million lactose intolerant Americans, Better Than Ricotta is also kosher, cholesterol free and free of butterfat, making it an excellent option for those who are health or weight conscious.
