## About Armored Fresh

Armored Fresh is a food-tech company that specializes in plant-based, zero-dairy cheese products.

Utilizing proprietary fermentation and protein technologies, it offers a clean-label alternative dairy brand that emphasizes taste, nutrition, and sustainability. The company is recognized for its innovative yeast strain that produces functional proteins through fermentation. The product lineup includes a variety of cheese options such as slices, cubes, shreds, spreads, and dips, with flavors like American, Cheddar, Provolone, and Pepper Jack. Newer offerings include Oat Milk Cheddar Dip and a Grated Kimchi Parmesan variant. Armored Fresh distributes its products through grocery retail and foodservice channels, with availability in stores like Kroger and Fresh Thyme Market, and operates a restaurant division called Armored Grilled Cheese in Brooklyn. The company targets a diverse customer base, including vegans, vegetarians, and omnivores, who are looking for dairy-free cheese alternatives that mimic the taste and texture of traditional dairy. Armored Fresh also highlights its commitment to environmental and animal welfare benefits in its brand messaging.
