Frequently Asked Questions
About Kite Hill
Kite Hill is sold at Whole Foods, Target, Sprouts, Publix, and other retailers across the country. For stores near you, check out our store locator.
We are continuing to expand our distribution every day, but we are still a young company. If you want to see us on the shelves at your local store, you can talk to the dairy buyer and request that they carry Kite Hill. Sometimes a nudge from a customer can go a long way!
All of our almond milk yogurt, cream cheese, and dips containers are recyclable. Our pasta containers are not currently recyclable. Please check with your local recycling center to ensure that our containers are properly sorted for recycling.
Products & Ingredients
Our Pumpkin Pie Cream Cheese will be back for a limited time this fall!
All of our products, with the exception of our pastas, are gluten free. Our pastas contain wheat flour and are made in a separate facility from the rest of our products
We think carefully about everything we put in our products. We source our almonds from the San Joaquin Valley and do not use any artificial flavors, colors, preservatives, or sweeteners in any of our products. All of our products are non-GMO Project Verified and all, with the exception of our pastas, are Kosher.
All of our products contain almond milk, so any individuals with an allergy to almonds will not be able to enjoy our products.
All of our products are soy and dairy free, with the exception of our Greek-style yogurts which contains soy.
We’ve heard from customers across the country who are seeking more plant-based protein, so we wanted to create a protein-rich Greek yogurt option. After seeing the positive response to our PROTEIN yogurt made with almond and soy, we wanted to bring similar protein benefits to our Greek line. We chose a soy as a protein source because it gives our Greek yogurt the best taste and a thick and creamy texture.
We’d like to recommend you try any of our Original Yogurts, as they do not contain soy and there are many flavors to choose from.
We manage the big eight allergens (milk, soy, egg, wheat, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, and shellfish) per FALCPA regulations in all of our products. If you have questions about allergens outside the big eight, please email our team via info@kite-hill.com

Using Our Products
Just about any recipe that calls for dairy yogurts, cream cheeses, or ricotta can be made using our almond milk versions. We recommend using the plain unsweetened (in the case of our almond milk yogurt) and plain cream cheese as opposed to the flavored versions when swapping in Kite Hill for the first time.
You can substitute these ingredients 1:1 for their dairy counterparts. As all Kite Hill products are made without artificial preservatives, note that anything you make with them should be stored refrigerated and not at room temperature.

All of our products are made without artificial preservatives and should be consumed prior to their best-by dates or within seven days of opening, whichever is sooner.
Our pastas are shipped to stores frozen and, in most cases, thawed when placed on shelf. Retailers should sticker our pastas with 30-day Best By dates when placing them on shelf; we recommend that you use or freeze our pastas by the stickered date. In the absence of a sticker, we recommend using or freezing our pastas within 1-2 weeks of purchase.
Frozen pasta is best consumed within 270 days of the production date. You can find this date on the edge of the plastic container as a 5-digit number such as 20315. The first two digits are the year of production, in this case 2020, and the next three digits are the julian date of production, in this case315or November 10th. This item would be best consumed by 315+270-366=219, or August 7th. Pleasecontact uswith any questions!
