The Apprentice is a BBC TV business themed reality series that judges the business skills of a group of contestants.

In Series 18: Week 10, the candidates are given a task to which they need to create "a new alternative to cheese".

In this episode they are required to create their own recipe, brand the vegan cheese and create packaging whilst pitching their final product to two major retailers with only two days to do it. 

There were two teams during this episode and they each had to fulfil the above criteria.

Team Nexus Created Truffle Vegan Cheese Spread

The Nexus team decided on a high end truffle flavoured cheese spread. In the given time frame this is quite a difficult task to make sure the texture is right and that the flavours are not too overpowering as well as not too bland, getting the balance right will be key.

Truffle can also be an acquired taste but this is the choice they made.

Now you'll have to watch the actual episode on BBC iPlayer to find out more but you'll find an array of delicious cheese spreads below.  

Looking to make your own high end vegan cheese spread you can check out our making section for recipe books, courses and our recipe database will give you a list of spreads you can try at home now.
