Do you love cheese, but don’t want to consume animal products? Luckily, you’re not alone and the world of plant-based cheese is expanding every day. One of the newest and most impressive additions to the vegan cheese world is vegan camembert.
This creamy, French-inspired cheese is now made with plant-based ingredients that mimic the texture and taste of traditional camembert without any animal ingredients. Vegans and non-vegans alike are pleasantly surprised by its rich and buttery flavor.
Making vegan camembert is a complex process that involves fermentation and aging. The dairy is replaced with a blend of nuts such as cashews or almonds. Cultures are added to kickstart the fermentation process and then the cheese is formed and allowed to age, developing its signature flavor and creamy texture.
Vegan camembert is not only tastier than ever but is also better for the environment. Traditional dairy production can have a high carbon footprint, and the rise in demand for plant-based cheese means a decrease in animal agriculture. Plus, plant-based cheese doesn’t involve animal suffering, which is important for many ethical consumers.
There are now many vegan cheese options to try and enjoy. From vegan parmesan to vegan mozzarella, more and more plant-based cheese alternatives are readily available in stores. So, whether you’re a vegan, cheese-lover or both, give vegan camembert a try. You won’t regret it.
