What You Should Know

You’d find this in the refrigerated dairy case or on a deli shelf, grabbed for a caprese salad, picnic, or easy snack. It gives a fresh, wholesome, comforting vibe—simple and nostalgic, evoking summer tomatoes and basil. The short ingredient list and soft, milky texture indicate minimal industrial processing (salt and enzymes added for texture and preservation), not an ultraprocessed product.
