The taste reminded us of salad dressing (zesty and a little acidic) more than a sauce intended for a warm pasta meal.

Beige and flecked with peppery sprinkles, the cauliflower dressing was also much less dense than the Velveeta topping we're accustomed to and the experience wasn't unlike handling an I.V. Like a vegan Velveeta, Caulifredo Supermac comes equipped with a pre-made pouch of preservative-heavy sauce, and while the photo we were deceived by on the box led us to believe that the topping would visually resemble something of an alfredo sauce, the liquid that oozed out of the little purse looked more like gravy. However, not being able to top the biggest hit of your career isn't always a sign of poor showmanship (just ask any Carly Rae Jepsen fan), and we walked away from Follow Your Heart's cauliflower-sauced pasta not entirely unhappy either. With its mac and cheese (or rather, cheeze), the brands hope to ascend to the peak its somewhat convincing avocado-based imitation mayonnaise has taken them, it but falls unfortunately short. Moreover, the Freak Flag packing goes a step too far by suggesting its consumer might 'top off' their pizza or flatbread with their under-seasoned pasta, solidifying our side-eye of the emerging sauce labels' viability in other arenas of the grocery store.

While the cheeses smelled sharp, the pasta overall was exceedingly bland almost as if Freak Flag forgot to add a healthy dosage of salt to the mixture. Its macaroni noodle of choice looked slightly more curved and circular than the elbow noodle we're used to seeing and the packet of cheeses (mozzarella, white cheddar, parmesan, and Romano) smelled noticeably pungent and was more reminiscent of opening a bag of cheese puffs than any of the other satchels of dusty cheese we ripped open.Īdditionally, the cheese blend scattered and remained clumpier than the remainder of the macaroni and cheeses were accustomed to and, even with butter and a touch of milk, refused to completely blend into the pasta. Like many of the brand's peers, Freak Flag offers a small lineup of options including Aged Cheddar, Four Cheese Mac (which we chose), Nacho Cheese, and (brace yourself) Cheese Pizza.
