Our commitment to providing clean, plant-based products extends to everything we do — that’s why we are transitioning all of our packaging to glass! Better for you, better for the planet, and better for letting those delicious, creamy ingredients shine. Glass is non-toxic, non-porous and impermeable. It’s free from harmful chemicals in plastic that can leach into product and YOU! Glass is 100% recyclable. You can re-use it endlessly without losing quality or purity. We love reusing our Monty’s jars around the house, planting succulents, making candles, or storing spices - the possibilities are endless! 
Fun fact: a glass container can go from a recycling bin to a store shelf in as few as 30 days!

To us, this means using the highest quality ingredients and producing Monty’s in a way that minimizes harm on the environment.

Because Monty’s is made with real, whole food ingredients, we use cold shipping to preserve quality. In addition to giving you the most real and fresh product possible, we also want to do everything in our power to reduce our environmental impact. Our order minimums put more of our products in one box, which lowers emissions from shipping and lessens packaging waste. If you're worried about not being able to finish all of your Monty's, you can freeze all of our products to extend shelf life for months (but we won't stop you from finishing it all faster than that). If you are wanting to buy one unit at a time and avoid shipping, you can find us at a local retailer near you (here).

In order to maintain freshness, we ship most orders Monday through Wednesday with ice packs. This ensures that your order arrives in perfect quality before shipping centers close down for the weekend. Orders received after 8am ET on Wednesday will be shipped the following week to prevent any potential spoilage over the weekend unless they are able to arrive within 1-2 days via ground shipping from Ohio or Northern California. All orders placed before 8am ET Wednesday will be shipped that week. Monty’s is made with pure, plant-based ingredients, so we want to make sure that you are receiving our plant-based goodness at peak freshness.

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 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.

High Pressure Processing (HPP) is a cold pasteurization process that is used to kill pathogens. We refrain from using HPP because it also removes all the heathy bacteria created through the fermentation process in our cream cheese, and it negatively affects the texture and taste of the product. In order to maintain all that delicious flavor and healthy live cultures, we utilize other proprietary processes to bring you the cleanest, safest, and most delicious products.

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. Our Everything Cream Cheese contains sesame, garlic, and poppy seeds, so individuals with allergies to these or any of our other inclusions should not eat those products.

Our products are not certified raw, but our proprietary processes for creating our cream cheese and butter do not involve applying heat.

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.  We highly recommend freezing them if you want to extend the shelf life by several months. They freeze beautifully and maintain their texture well.

The shelf life of any real food is fairly short, and that’s a good thing: that means no preservatives! The refrigerated shelf life of Monty’s unopened Cashew Cream Cheese is 8 weeks, and the Butter is 10 weeks. For best results use both within 10 days of opening. Storing frozen can increase shelf life by a few months.
