It depends on the style you love. For blue cheese, La Fauxmagerie’s Great Taste award-winning Brixton Blue is a standout. For melting, Mozzarisella and Bluffalo Notzarella are customer favourites. For a cheddar-style block, try I Am Nut OK’s Paparica. Our collection brings together the best artisan vegan cheese the UK has to offer, all in one place.
Mozzarisella is our top pick for pizza — it is made from organic Italian brown rice and melts smoothly without splitting. I Am Nut OK’s Bluffalo Notzarella is another excellent melter for pizzas and paninis. For the best results, tear or grate finely, use a very hot oven, and add the cheese in the final few minutes of baking.
Some do — melting styles are specifically formulated for it. Cheeses like Mozzarisella and Bluffalo Notzarella melt smoothly for pizza, pasta bakes, toasties and paninis, while aged artisan styles focus more on flavour and slicing. Check each product’s notes for ‘melts’ or ‘great for cooking’ guidance.
Artisan vegan cheese is typically made from a wholefood base of cashews, almonds or other nuts, cultured and aged much like dairy cheese. Other styles use rice, oats, soya or coconut oil to achieve specific textures — from sliceable blocks to stretchy melting mozzarella. Every product page lists full ingredients so you know exactly what you are eating.
Vegan cheese can absolutely be part of a balanced diet. It is naturally cholesterol-free and many artisan varieties use wholefood bases like nuts and legumes. Nutritional profiles vary — some prioritise protein and simple ingredients, while others are formulated for melt and stretch — so check labels and choose the styles that suit your goals, then enjoy in moderation.
Right here. Mozzarisella is a nut-free, allergen-free vegan cheese made from Italian brown rice, and it is available in our collection with UK-wide delivery. If you are avoiding nuts, always check the individual product page — we list full allergen information for every cheese we stock.
Yes — vegan cheese is completely dairy-free, which means it is naturally lactose-free too. That makes it suitable for anyone with lactose intolerance. If you have a milk allergy rather than an intolerance, check the ‘may contain’ notes on each product page, as some items are made in facilities that handle other allergens.
For a classic cheddar-style experience, try I Am Nut OK’s C’é Dairy or their smoked Paparica wedge — both slice, grate and melt well. Honestly Tasty’s matured wedges also deliver that savoury, tangy depth cheddar fans look for. All are available in our collection with UK delivery.
Mozzarisella Classic is widely considered the gold standard — organic, made from brown rice, and it melts beautifully. For a firmer, fryable option, Kinda Co’s Mozzalloumi gives you a crisp golden crust with a gooey middle, perfect for salads and burgers.
Often yes, especially blocks and grated styles, though the texture can become slightly drier or more crumbly after thawing. Freeze airtight, defrost in the fridge, and use in cooked dishes for the best results. Always follow the storage guidance on each product’s packaging.
Keep vegan cheese refrigerated and wrapped or in an airtight container once opened, and follow the use-by guidance on the pack. For serving, bring artisan cheeses up to room temperature for 30 to 60 minutes — the flavour and texture are noticeably better.
Yes — every cheese in this collection is 100% dairy-free, so none contain milk as an ingredient. However, some products are made in facilities that handle allergens including milk or nuts, so if you have a severe allergy, always read the ‘may contain’ advisory on each product page before ordering.
Aim for three to five cheeses across different styles: a soft spreadable cheese, a firm cheddar-style wedge, a blue or smoked cheese, and something special like black truffle. Add oatcakes, water crackers, chutney, grapes, figs and nuts. Take the cheese out of the fridge up to an hour before serving for the best flavour.
It varies by product. Some vegan cheeses are lower in calories and saturated fat than their dairy equivalents, particularly those made from rice or nuts, while rich artisan styles can be comparable to dairy. Each product page shows full nutritional information so you can compare and choose what works for you.
Many do. Nut-based artisan cheeses naturally provide plant protein and healthy fats, and some brands fortify their cheeses with calcium and vitamin B12. Levels vary considerably between products, so check the nutritional panel on each product page if you are tracking specific nutrients.
