A Message from Michael, our Founder and CEO

Dear Friends,

When I gave up dairy about twenty years ago, like a lot of new vegans, I really missed good cheese. I dreamed of a vegan cheese that would satisfy my tastes for fine French and Italian cheeses. But there was nothing on the market that came close to what I envisioned.

So I started Treeline.

I don't just love good cheese. I believe in self reliance and entrepreneurship. I also believe in authenticity and integrity. That's why Treeline doesn't just make great cheeses (and now sour cream and dips!), we make them in our own dedicated 100% dairy free facility that I personally oversee. Unlike a lot of larger "plant-based" cheese companies, we do not contract out our manufacturing to a facility that makes plant based cheese one day and dairy the next.

Treeline is owned by a me and a small group of committed investors - not a mega corporation, private equity or venture fund, and definitely not a dairy company. Our commitment to veganism, animal rights and great cheese is unwavering.

I hope you enjoy what we make as much as we enjoy making it for you!

"Treeline's spreadable vegan Blueberry Goat Cheese has replicated the flavors and textures of goat cheese without the dairy. It's sweet and creamy but has the tart kick that one might expect from traditional goat cheese."
