Norwegian Baked and RIND by Dina & Joshua, the creators of Veggie Underground plant-based cheese made with real vegetable purée, are excited to unveil a bold new snack: Plant-Based Cheese Knekkebrød. This innovative crispbread combines the timeless Scandinavian tradition of Norwegian Baked’s beloved Knekkebrød with the delicious, plant-based flavor of RIND’s Veggie Underground parsnip cheese, crafted from wholesome, real vegetables.
“This collaboration is especially meaningful because both Norwegian Baked and RIND are women-owned businesses that call the Brooklyn Army Terminal Annex Building home,” said RIND co-founder Dina DiCenso. “We’ve admired Norwegian Baked’s incredible products for years, and it was a natural fit to join forces to create something truly special for our customers.”
Hedvig Bourbon, founder and owner of Norwegian Baked, shared, “Our Knekkebrød has always been naturally vegan and packed with wholesome nutrition, and teaming up with RIND takes it to the next level. The addition of their Veggie Underground parsnip cheese adds a distinctive twist. It’s crunchy, cheesy, and completely plant-based—a snack that brings a little Scandinavian tradition and a lot of Brooklyn creativity to every bite.”
The collaboration between Norwegian Baked and RIND highlights the companies’ shared commitment to quality and creativity. Norwegian Baked’s expertise in crafting authentic Knekkebrød is complemented by Veggie Underground parsnip cheese, which is unique to the plant-based market. The result is a distinctive snack that blends tradition and innovation with bold, savory flavor.
