Vegan Cheesemaking
Whether you are lactose intolerant, vegan or a foodie, you can make fresh and fermented plant-based cheeses at home.
This workshop explored a variety of animal by-product-free cheeses, most gluten-free, which can be used for a variety of culinary purposes. We demonstrated how to prepare various cheeses using bases of nuts, seeds, beans and more. The spreadable, meltable, creamy and delicious results are real alternatives to conventional cheese.
