RIND, Brooklyn, NY

Founded in 2017 by Dina DiCenso and Joshua Katcher, RIND by Dina & Joshua is a WBENC-certified, multi sofi™ award-winning brand that has quickly raised the bar on plant-based cheese with soft-ripened, French-style cheese. RIND's state-of-the-art cheese cave in the historic Brooklyn Army Terminal is NYC’s only dedicated vegan cheese cave. In addition to cave-aged vegan cheeses, RIND produces vegan cheese spreads and introduced the world’s first carrot-based cheese slices in 2022, winning a sofi™ Best New Product award. RIND recently expanded its veggie cheese line under the Veggie Underground banner with new parsnip and red bell pepper varieties, complementing the carrot cheese. Made with real vegetables, these new varieties are also the first and only of their kind on the market.
