PRESS RELEASE — NEWS PROVIDED BY Greg Langel for RIND

BROOKLYN, NY (March 2025) – RIND by Dina & Joshua announces the launch of its French-style, aged vegan cheeses at Eataly, bringing two varieties of artisanal, cave-aged plant-based cheese to Eataly customers across the United States.

RIND’s acclaimed 6.5-oz. cave-aged mini-wheels — Bleu and Classic Cambleu — will be available at Eataly’s U.S. locations beginning in March 2025.

“We’re honored to partner with Eataly to bring RIND’s artisanal plant-based cheese to their customers nationwide,” said Dina DiCenso, co-founder of RIND. “As the newest aged cheese to be added to Eataly’s collection, this collaboration is a significant milestone for both RIND and the future of plant-based cheese.”

“With this launch, Eataly customers will have the opportunity to experience aged vegan cheese that rivals its dairy counterparts,” added Joshua Katcher, RIND co-founder. “We look forward to sharing the care, craftsmanship, and bold flavors that make RIND unique at upcoming tastings at Eataly’s New York City and Dallas locations.”

About the Products

RIND Bleu features a bold, funky profile with a striking bleu mold rind, sometimes speckled with white, encasing a yeasty, buttery interior. Bleu veins, which may appear green or black, offer an added piquant complexity. RIND Bleu was named Best Blue-Cheese Style Vegan Cheese by Cook’s Illustrated in 2021.

RIND Classic Cambleu, a 2024 Startup CPG Shelfie Award winner, pairs a bloomy, edible white Camembert-style rind with the intense, savory character of bleu mold. Its smooth, buttery body is balanced by occasional piquant veins, resulting in a sharp, rich, and deeply umami flavor.

Crafted from a cashew and tofu base, RIND’s cave-aged vegan cheeses are gluten-free, cholesterol-free, and certified Kosher Pareve.
