History of Violife Vegan Cheese

They have been making only vegan cheese, as they are dedicated to the vegan cause, since the 1990s in a small town in Greece.

With every single vegan cheese we add to the database, we tag them in many different ways and one of those is the dietary tags so that others can easily find new vegan cheeses based on their own requirements.

One thing we noticed with Violife vegan cheeses are that they all cater to those who are looking for nut free vegan cheeses, soy free, preservative free, cholesterol free, GMO free, lactose free and dairy free.

Some of those are automatically given due to the nature of veganism and that they would be dairy free and lactose free because neither exist in the world of plant foods.

All our 100% Vegan foods are free from: dairy, lactose, GMO, gluten, nuts, soy, preservatives and cholesterol. 

And this is what Violife have to say about their vegan stance.

Veganism was born out of a desire to live in harmony with the animals and the environment whilst being good to ourselves. But we understand that there are other reasons why people might be seeking a dairy free alternative to cheese, like allergies or intolerances. That’s why our products are free from common allergens.
