OUR PRINCIPLES
Plant-based foods have exploded onto the scene. Veganism has become common the latest years, with 2% of the population claiming to be vegan. Plant-based diets are far more sustainable than animal-based diets because they have less impact in the environment.
There is an alternative for every harmful animal use. Going vegan can help you remain open and willing to change.
We are committed to deliver the dairy cheese experience using only plant based and allergen free ingredients.

OUR INGREDIENTS
Our carefully selected ingredients are the key to a delicious plant-based cheese like ours.
Our Carbohydrates
Our starch derived blend of carbohydrates is the main component of our plant-based cheeses that gives the proper structure and the best of its texture. We mainly use potato & tapioca starches.
Potato Starch
Potato starch is a starch derived from potatoes and it is naturally gluten-free. As a resistant starch, potato starch acts as a prebiotic in the body, which means that it actually feeds the good bacteria in your intestine.
Potato starch contributes to the textural proper¬ties and soft mouthfeel of our plant-based cheeses. Modified Starches show enhanced performance in different applications, like excellent melting in plant-based cheeses for pizza. Don’t worry, they are not Genetically Modified!
1 tablespoon of potato starch contains:
40 kcal
10 g carbos
8g resistant starch
Tapioca Starch
Tapioca is a starch extracted from cassava root also known as yuca in some parts of the world and it is naturally gluten-free.
Tapioca starch is used to improve texture and to trap the moisture in plant based cheeses in order to enjoy the juiciest plant-based slice.
It consists of almost pure carbs and contains very little protein, fiber, or nutrients. Tapioca has a reputation as being gentle on the stomach as many people find it easier to digest than flours produced from grains or nuts.
1 tablespoon of tapioca starch contains:
57 kcal
9g carbos
1g protein
Our Fats
Our fats create delicious & juicy plant-based cheeses with excellent melting properties.
Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is an edible oil derived from the wick, meat, and milk of the coconut palm fruit. Coconut oil adds considerable amount of saturated fat and calories to the plant-based cheese while enhancing its flavor. It replaces hydrogenated fats and palm oil.
1 tablespoon of coconut oil contains:
121 kcal
13,5g fat / 11,2g saturated
Olive Oil
Olive oil is a basic element of the Mediterranean diet and is considered a healthy food product due to its content of beneficial fatty acids and antioxidants such as polyphenols, chlorophyll, carotene.
1 tablespoon of olive oil contains:
121 kcal
13,5g fat / 2g saturated
Our Proteins
Plant-based proteins provide an excellent source of protein considering that they will likely result in a reduction in the intake of saturated fat and cholesterol which are high in animal proteins. By adding plant proteins, our plant-based cheeses deliver creamier textures and mouthfeel.
Pea Protein
Pea protein is a supplement extracted by yellow peas. Research demonstrates that pea protein, due to its high fiber content, is one of the more easily digested plant-based proteins.
Pea protein contains all nine essential amino acids that your body cannot create and must get from food. It’s relatively low in methionine but is rich in iron and contains high levels of folate.
Potato Protein
Potato protein is extracted by potatoes and is natural allergen free. Thank to a well-balanced amino acid profile, potato proteins have a high biological value close to animal proteins.
Meanwhile, potatoes exceed the recommended levels of the indispensable amino acids, lysine, methionine, threonine, and tryptophan, demonstrating that potato protein is of high quality.
Our Minerals & Vitamins
Calcium
Calcium is vital to the health of the muscular, circulatory, and digestive systems; is indispensable to the building of bone; and supports synthesis and function of blood cells. Calcium is abundant in dairy products so it couldn’t be absent from our plant-based cheeses.
Vitamin B12
The body needs vitamin B12 to maintain healthy blood and a healthy nervous system. Many people get vitamin B12 from animal sources, such as meat, fish and dairy products, but sources for vegans are limited. In our plant-based cheeses you will find the B12 source you are looking for.
