Monty’s was founded with the intention to bring plant-based dairy products that taste amazing (even better than conventional dairy!) to everyone. We’re bringing everyone to the table from flexitarians to people who eat paleo or keto, to people with allergies, to vegans and vegetarians. Everyone will enjoy the craveable, delicious taste of Monty’s. With simplicity and nutrition at the core of the brand, Monty’s selection of cream cheeses and butter are made from real-food ingredients and crafted using time-honored techniques like fermentation.

Monty’s is available in grocery stores across the US, with primary distribution in New York and California. You can also find us in select locations in New Orleans, LA and Vermont. We’re actively working to expand into more retailers near you.

If you would love to find Monty’s at a retailer near you who also cares about healthy & delicious food, check out our Store Locator or send us a message at hello@livemontys.com. We’re always looking for great local retail partners to bring Monty’s closer to you.

Unfortunately, we no longer ship directly, as refrigerated shipping isn’t sustainable for us as a small business. To ensure product quality and reduce waste, we partner with Box n Case, who ship in full cases--making refrigerated shipping more efficient and practical. We truly appreciate your understanding and support.

We don’t sell directly through our site, but you can order Monty’s online through Box n Case. Also we available through Farm to People if you live in the NYC area. We’ve no longer ship direct so that we can focus on doing what we do best: making insanely delicious, clean, dairy-free essentials. We are working hard to make Monty’s more accessible both online and in stores near you.

Unfortunately, right now we are only available for sale and shipment within the contiguous United States. We hope to be available to bring you pure, plant-based essentials worldwide in the future!

We do not ship direct, but we do offer wholesale through distributors. Please email us at hello@livemontys.com for further instructions on how to set up.

In order to give you the freshest products, made weekly, we ship all orders Monday with ice packs via 2 day air. Orders received after 8pm ET on Sunday will be shipped the following week.

We would love to enter your store into our Store Locator. Please email hello@livemontys.com with the SKUs that you are currently carrying and your store information so that we can add you on our site.

Cashews are the perfect creamy, yet neutral ingredient for developing flavor during the fermentation process. They are rich and creamy, slightly sweet, and create that texture we know and love, without additives!

Our products are made in a fully plant-based and dairy-free facility in California. The facility processes all tree nuts, peanuts, and sesame.  Monty’s products are made with the utmost care & intention with the purest plant-based ingredients and proprietary processes. Founder, Lauren Montgomery oversees all production and testing to ensure every batch of Monty’s is the deliciously creamy butter and cream cheese you know and love.

Fermentation is a traditional process of preservation that involves adding healthful bacteria to foods to catalyze enzymatic reactions that convert carbohydrates into acid - in this case cashews into tangy, cheesy delectable goodness. Other fermented foods include pickles, kimchi and beer! Not only is the fermentation process used for flavor and texture, but fermented foods are also chock-full of probiotics and prebiotics which are important for optimal digestion and a healthy microbiome.

We carefully source the highest quality ingredients from certified organic, non-gmo and fair-trade suppliers.  The only non-organic ingredient that we use is almond oil, which we source locally in California to ensure that it is cold-processed without the use of chemicals.

We never use any gums, fillers, preservatives, additives, hidden ingredients/ processing aids, or lecithin in our products. It is so important to us to only use a few simple ingredients that your body recognizes and to not take shortcuts to create real, delicious & nourishing food.

Depends on your dietary restrictions! We are 100% gluten, dairy and soy free. Our products are made with cashews, almonds, and coconut, and processed in a facility that also processes peanuts. Individuals with nut allergies should not eat any Monty’s products. Individuals with allergies to these or any of our other inclusions should not eat those products.

Our products are not certified gluten free, but they are not made with and do not contain any gluten.

No, Monty’s is not kosher certified at this time, but we are looking into certification.

We do not currently have any nut-free products.

We are always testing out new and exciting formulations and flavors, and we hope to launch new ones soon! If you have any ideas or requests, shoot us a line at hello@livemontys.com.

YES! We highly recommend cooking and baking with our products. They are your new dairy-free essentials intended for the same culinary standards as conventional dairy cream cheese and butter.  Sub the cream cheese and butter 1:1 in baking recipes. Cook with our butter on low-medium heat.

Yes. Use Monty’s Cream Cheese in all of the same applications as you would conventional dairy cream cheese, and more! We recommend cooking at low heat on the stove top, to get melty gooey and not burn. For high heat baking like pizza, we recommend adding Monty’s right at the end of cooking (with your delicious fresh basil). We are made of nuts after all. Don't forget us on the stove :)

Monty’s products must be stored refrigerated or frozen.  The refrigerated shelf life of the cream cheese is 2 months. The refrigerated shelf life of the butter is 3 months. For the freshest taste, use both within 10 days of opening. Store all products frozen to increase shelf life by up to 6 months.

The refrigerated shelf life of Cloud Cheese pouches and butter is 2 months refrigerated and the original Montys in glass jars is 8 weeks from production. For the freshest taste, use both within 10 days of opening (and try to refrain from double dipping!). Our Cake in a Jars will last 7-10 days refrigerated. Store all products frozen to increase shelf life by up to 6 months.
