FAQs

What is vegan blue cheese?

Vegan blue cheese is a dairy-free alternative to traditional blue cheese, made using plant-based ingredients such as cashews, almonds, or tofu. It replicates the bold, tangy, and pungent flavour of classic blue cheese through the use of cultures, moulds, and ageing techniques without any animal products.

How is vegan blue cheese made?

Artisan vegan blue cheeses are typically crafted from a nut or legume base that is cultured, pressed, and aged. Blue-green veining is achieved using Penicillium roqueforti, the same mould used in traditional dairy blue cheeses. Which is entirely vegan. The result is a complex, flavourful cheese with authentic character.

Does vegan blue cheese taste like the real thing?

High-quality artisan vegan blue cheeses can be remarkably close to their dairy counterparts. You can expect bold, earthy, and tangy notes with a creamy or crumbly texture depending on the maker. The flavour profile varies by producer, so we recommend exploring a few to find your favourite.

How should I store vegan blue cheese?

Store your vegan blue cheese in the refrigerator, ideally wrapped in wax paper or cheese paper to allow it to breathe. Consume within the timeframe indicated on the packaging. For best flavour, remove from the fridge 30 minutes before serving to bring it to room temperature.

How do I use vegan blue cheese?

Vegan blue cheese is wonderfully versatile. Crumble it over salads, serve it on a cheeseboard with crackers and fruit, melt it into sauces and dressings, or pair it with a glass of port or full-bodied red wine. It works beautifully alongside walnuts, pears, figs, and honey alternatives.
