Nuts For Cheese™ FAQ

Plant-based cheese contains protein from, you guessed it, plants! Various plant-based ingredients can be used to accomplish this, but cashews are our staple go-to.

Aside from the fact that plant-based cheese is delicious, here are a few other reasons why 100% dairy-free cheese is important:

Health: Various scientific studies have suggested that having a plant-based diet and removing dairy is beneficial to our overall health. Additionally, many people have allergies or intolerances to dairy. 

Planet: Plant food production produces much lower rates of carbon dioxide emissions than dairy food production.

Animals: We love animals! We’re excited to show that you can have 100% dairy-free cheese without cows, sheep, or goats.

Our product is made entirely by hand in our facility in London, Ontario. We start by fermenting organic cashew milk with vegan cultures (created in-house) and then combine with various high-quality, organic ingredients and spices.
