Vegan cheese is everywhere these days, but cheese-based dips are not. So when we kept seeing Credo vegan cheese dips and quesos recommended in Facebook groups, we knew we had to get our hands on it and test it out for you!
Credo makes a variety of shelf-stable and refrigerated queso dips and pasta sauces, and we put them to the test to see if these dairy-free cheese options were worth your money!
By taking the guess work out of whether or not these Credo non-dairy cheese products are worth it in our review (and taste test!), you’ll know if it’s somewhere you should spend your money on.
You don’t have to worry! We give our 100% honest review ever single time!

In addition to what we tried in the video, there’s also refrigerated french onion dip, spicy cashew queso, and a creamy jalapeno dip. Also, in true Make It Dairy Free fashion, Credo announced right after shooting that they are releasing a new product, a vegan spray cheese, in Cheddar and Smoky flavors. We will look for those soon.

Overall Thoughts: We didn’t really care for these. They were a little too tangy and at $8.99 a jar it was a bit expensive even for plant based. They do seem to go a long way in terms of being creamy and spreading across the pasta without a lot needed, so that was a win.
Quick Thoughts:
There’s a few things that we want to call out.
- All of the products recommend being warmed first.
- These were good dips, but they weren’t the favorite ones that we have tried overall, specifically it’s not cheesy enough and overall tastes a bit too tangy.
- The blanco doesn’t taste like what we remember a blanco tasting like, but it’s a good dip just to have a dip.
- Out of the pasta sauces, the rosa was our favorite, but with the price point of it, we wouldn’t buy these again.
- We’d buy the dips again if we saw them and our favorites weren’t available as an option.
