Our not-so-secret ingredient
Potatoes are anti-inflammatory, hypocholesterolemic, and a good source of vitamin C, potassium and antioxidants.
Potatoes have been a staple in our food systems for thousands of years. With a lower carbon footprint and water consumption in comparison to other major crops, it might just be the food of the future.
Bonus: Their natural biodiversity creates resistance to climate change conditions! We love you, potato.
Saves water.
We use 44% less water in production than retail dairy cheese. We’re on track to save the equivalent of 250 normal-sized swimming pools filled with water within the next year! That's a whole lotta hydration.
Reduces emissions.
By making LOCA from the ingredients we do, we use 95% less CO2e in production than retail dairy cheese. We’ve saved the equivalent of 96,894 million miles driven by a passenger vehicle - that’s ~4x around the circumference of the earth!
Plus, nutrition.
We're thinking big when it comes to creating a more nutritious, equitable and sustainable food system. We loaded our sauce up with vegetables and are not skimping on nutrition. No more empty calories. Go ahead, eat the whole jar!
★★★★★"I love it. Nobody else has gotten it right and it makes me cry tears of happiness."
★★★★★"[LOCA] is my new favorite way to get my cheese fix! I served this to my family and no one had any idea! ❤️"
Cool quote to impress your co-workers at the next office lunch outing: "Potatoes are one of the most nutrient-dense, adaptable, climate-friendly food crops on earth... It can grow in any climate and I believe that above all other food crops, the potato will be able to feed the world when nothing else can.” ✌️ Alberto Salas Agronomist, International Potato Center
I absolutely love this dip! It is so melty and cheese like I can’t tell the different. It is so damn good on bbq and nachos. I can’t wait to get more.
I shared the spicy Loca with friends last night while watching Monday Night Football and before I knew it two plates of nachos were gone before the end of the first quarter! I didn't tell them it was 100% plant-based until a commercial break, and NOBODY could tell the difference. To some, that made it even more delicious. The level of spicy is on point, and the creamy texture is what's most craveable about this queso as I am skeptical about vegan "cheeses." Luckily I had a second one we could open (and that I live close to a supermarket for more chips!). I'm definitely re-stocking on Loca queso soon. It might have to be the new Monday Night Football routine back by popular demand!
As I am lactose intolerant and also follow a plant based diet, I am a big fan of vegan quesos, especially those with healthy ingredients. I have tried quite a few of them, but Loca is by far the best that I have ever had. It is salty and thick, just like regular queso and has that satisfying junk food flavor without actually being junk food. This sauce is amazing!
When can you order again.? Every time I look it is sold out. Mild
I love this queso. Such great flavor and perfect texture. So versatile to use on nachos, as a dip, in mac n cheese, in a sandwich etc. I also love that it contains healthy plant-based ingredients.
Fun fact: Burgers can be healthy-ish. View our recipe ideas like jackfruit nachos, braised cauliflower, and fancy grilled cheese to keep things cheesy from breakfast ’til dinner. Crank up that stove and oven. It’s party time!
