We are happy to share with you the news that another vegan cheese maker, Palace Culture, will be available in a Waitrose near you by the end of 2023.
That makes another artisanal vegan cheese that is now available in Waitrose, as La Fauxmagerie was their first to be put on the shelves.
Who Are Palace Culture
Palace Culture got its start in the Parmigiani family kitchen in Crystal Palace. Due to his 4-year-old son’s dairy intolerance, Mirko Parmigiani made it his mission to create a delicious dairy-free cheese for the family to enjoy. Combining his love for flavour with a deep passion for health and sustainability, he began making nut-based cheeses using raw and local ingredients. The resulting product was a huge success! And soon enough word of these cashew cheeses quickly spread throughout Crystal Palace. This led to Palace Culture’s first stall at Crystal Palace farmers’ market.
As the business grew to additional shops and markets, Mirko recognized that nuts could not be fermented all throughout his family's flat. So he took production out of his home to a railway arch in the food hub of Bermondsey. This is where Palace Culture creates our cheeses today, which we then distribute all throughout the UK!
What Vegan Cheese Are Waitrose Stocking
Palace Culture have launched three of their products to be in the chilled section of Waitrose.
They are;
Mouldy Goaty is one of their three vegan cheese offerings that are hitting the shelves at Waitrose and this amazing vegan cheese gets an incredible 9.8 star rating out of 10 in our vegan cheese database.
Organic cashew based semi soft cheese reminiscent of a goat creamy soft cheese. No additives or preservative, aged for 1 to 2 weeks. Has a clean and tangy feel with an extremely soft and creamy texture.
Holy Smokes is another of their offerings making its way on to Waitrose shelves and if you like a smoked vegan cheese, this one will be for you.
A deliciously creamy and cheesy spread made with 100% natural ingredients. The addition of smoked chipotle chillies and fresh smoked garlic, gives it a rich and savory mouth feel.
Kimcheeze is the final of the three offerings and it gets an incredible 10/10 on our vegan cheese database star rating.
This semi-soft cashew cheese has a delicious creamy texture. The base is made out of 4 simple ingredients, filtered water with added magnesium, organic activated cashews (soaked in filtered water ), sea salt and live cultures and the gut friendly juice of Bottlebrush ferment’s award winning kimchi.
All three of their cheeses that will be available to purchase are made with cashews as their main ingredient.
So if you're looking for an artisanal vegan cheese and you usually shop at Waitrose or have one nearby, make sure to head on over to get your nut based cheese fix!
