Monty's x noissue

The demand for dairy alternatives nowadays is steadily increasing, and it’s not at all unusual, given the rise of local retailers that house all the unique, emerging CPG brands that populate Instagram feeds and all the considerations factoring into the decisions of many consumers today, such as health benefits, flavor, and especially sustainability.

One of these specialty brands is NYC’s Monty’s, a plant-based dairy-free goods brand created by certified health coach and chef Lauren Montgomery in 2018. What is special about their cream cheese and butter is that they are made with few, pure, and natural ingredients without using any nonsensical add-ons such as preservatives, so you can ensure that what you’re consuming is good for you, your taste buds, and the planet.

Their commitment to sustainability is wonderfully integrated into their system, from sourcing their plant-based ingredients from certified organic, fair-trade suppliers to using an MOQ ordering system and noissue sustainable packaging to ship their products.
