Dare Vegan Cheese

Darë Vegan Cheese was founded in Asheville, NC, but founder Gwendolyn Dare Hageman was born and raised in Dare County, North Carolina. The company name, (pronounced “Dairy”, by the way), is a play on Gwendolyn’s middle name and a cheeky nod to the bold approach in which Darë Vegan Cheese was made.

Today, her company focuses on small-batch, handmade goodness. With a team of dedicated and passionate individuals, Darë chooses people over machinery and passion over everything to make a product infused with love and intention. 

In this journey, Darë has found joy and purpose in creating a satisfying dairy-free cheese that leaves nothing to be desired. Well, maybe one thing, and that’s more Darë Vegan Cheese!

We've made cheese better, it's nuts.
