​ ​Why Vegan Cheese?

      ​ ​  Where tradition
          ​ ​   meets innovation.

Cruelty-Free

No cows, goats, sheep, or any other animal is harmed to make plant-based cheese.

Feel-Good Food

No dairy, no cholesterol, no digestive drama. Just fermented, nutrient-dense goodness your gut (and taste buds) will thank you for.

Planet-Friendly

Making cheese from nuts uses a fraction of the land, water, and emissions of traditional dairy. Delicious meets sustainable.

 We love cheese. 
 We love cows more. 

We believe in a kinder food system - one that celebrates flavor, tradition, and innovation, without compromising compassion.

Rounds of white-rinded vegan Camembert ripening

Ripened with mould -

Surface-ripened with white or blue moulds, just like traditional cheeses — for that delicate bloom, tang, and funk.

It all starts with nuts -

Organic, hand-shelled, locally-grown cashew and pili nuts, to be precise.

All of our cashews are grown in North-East Bali by women empowered through Muntigunung Social Enterprise.

How we work
our magic

Blanched and blended - 

Into a creamy, smooth paste — the perfect base for fermentation.

Hand-shaped and air-dried -

Each wheel is shaped and dried naturally to build its rind and texture.

Cultured and fermented -

We add traditional cultures and ferment slowly, unlocking complex, umami-rich flavours and gut-loving probiotics.
