Meet Kirsten & Fred

Ours is a love story built on a solid foundation of the most important things in life - trust, honesty, and cheese!

As lifelong foodies-turned-vegan, we began a mission to fulfill the Swiss-style holes in our hearts, but nothing on the market could live up to our memories of picnics in the spring and holiday charcuterie spreads.

That's when we began experimenting in our kitchen, learning from dairy experts, and throwing away everything we knew about vegan cheese in order to craft something new: actual cheese made from plants.

From aging cheese in a 1-cubic-foot wine fridge to our new 9,000 sq ft factory, we're grateful for your support every step of the way, and honored to be a part of your tastiest memories, traditions, and celebrations!

Let's Face It. Cheese Is Everything.

Our mission is important (scroll down for the feel-good stuff) - to make the world a better place one wheel of cheese at a time. But it’s a mission that hinges on one essential thing:

Our Cheese Must Be Defiantly Good.

It needs to be something you can unapologetically bring to your family gathering to be enjoyed by everyone from your vegan foodie sister-in-law to your meat-and-potatoes uncle (even if begrudgingly). After all, its held against a high standard: the deliciousness of the cheeses we all grew up with. So, it’s our commitment to preserve our most loved traditions - defying all the odds - proving the most delicious, crave-able, most rebelliously awesome cheese comes from plants.

We're Rebels For...

The Animals

We believe we can enjoy the foods we love without sacrifice - for your tastebuds or our animal friends.

The Earth

Animal agriculture is a leading cause of carbon emissions, deforestation, and land usage. Plant-cheeses cause 71% fewer of the greenhouse gas emissions and use 97% less fresh water as compared to dairy.

Ourselves

Our cheeses contain no cholesterol or lactose. What you eat matters, and studies show that plants help us feel better and live longer.
