what does cashew cheese taste like?
If you are looking to substitute dairy cheese with a more sustainable, ethical product? Then cashew cheese is the way to go. All our products are fermented and aged starting with a base of cashew cream - just like traditional dairy cheese but without the milk.
The naturally mild and sweet taste of the cashew nuts combined with the sourness of the fermentation process results in a balanced and pleasantly cheezy taste after the fermentation process, we then proceed to flavour the products and ripen them at different temperatures and humidity depending on the cheeze. This daily after-care is known as to affinage and it is here where the real flavours intensify and develop.
So what do they taste like? The best way to describe it is like a cheese that you have not experienced before. You will not be able to taste that it is from nuts, nor will you be able to pinpoint exactly the category of traditional cheese it belongs to. It is in a league of its own, a cheese of the future that has a clear cheesy taste and characteristics of dairy but a pleasant twist.
