Cheese is one of those foods people find hardest to give up when transitioning to a vegan lifestyle. But thanks to innovations in plant-based food, vegan organic cheese has come a long way—and VeganStore NZ is proud to offer a range of delicious, dairy-free cheese options that deliver all the flavour without the cruelty.

What Is Vegan Cheese?

Vegan cheese is made without any animal products. Instead, it’s crafted from ingredients like:

Cashews
Coconut oil
Nutritional yeast
Tapioca starch
Soy or almond milk
Cultures and enzymes (plant-derived)

These ingredients come together to create creamy, tangy, meltable vegan cheeses that are great for cooking, spreading, and snacking. Buy vegan organic cheese online today »
