    Vtopian Artisan Cheeses are Cultured, Aged, and Naturally Vegan

    0
    By Leah Moldowan on February 3, 2017 Dairy-Free Cheese Substitute Reviews, Product Reviews

    Handcrafted in Portland, Oregon this cultured cashew cheese is sold in a traditional “by the wedge” style, and some varieties even have a rind. But according to the company, what really makes this vegan cheese alternative unique is its firm, slice-able texture.

    Vtopian Artisan Cheeses use a base of organic cashews and cultures. Other nuts, fresh organic herbs, and spices are added to make the different flavors. At last check, they had several varieties of cheddar, camembert, and brie, plus at least one rotating seasonal flavor.
