Our Story

Nuts For Cheese™ was born in 2015 at a farmer's market in London, Ontario out of a passion to create and share delicious, plant-based cheeses with others. What started as a solo venture has grown into a dedicated team helping to craft a line of artisanal dairy-free products that are now available across Canada (and beyond).

From one cheese lover to another, we invite you to join us on this journey!

Our Process

Using traditional cheesemaking techniques, we start by handcrafting our cashew based, 100% dairy-free cheese wheels from organic cashews and fermented with house made cultures.
So while our products are aged, they are also very much alive, making our tastebuds and microbiomes happy.

Our Process

Each cheese wheel enjoys its unique journey through our plant, some stopping for hand painted rinds and others for a blend of homemade sauces or fresh herbs and spices.

Our Process

From there our cashew based, vegan cheese wheels are sliced into wedges. Just like cheese was meant to be. Each wedge is lovingly packaged in our distinctive triangle box and sent on its way to a store near you.
