Violife’s latest Cheddarton is crumblier, creamier, and cheesier than ever before
Violife has unveiled its latest product: Cheddarton, the plant-based cheddar alternative that delivers a taste experience that consumers would expect from its conventional dairy counterparts.
Made entirely from plant-based ingredients, Cheddarton is crafted to bring a more mature flavour that meets consumer expectations based on dairy cheddar cheese.
This latest product from Violife boasts a crumbly and creamy texture that means it is a versatile choice for a wide range of culinary creations. Whether sliced, melted, crumbled or grated, Cheddarton can be incorporated into various dishes, including sandwiches, salads, BBQs or pasta recipes and more.
Unlike traditional cheddar cheese, Violife’s plant-based offering is free from the top 14 allergens, including dairy, soya, gluten, lactose, and nuts, as well as preservatives, is non-GMO and is fortified with vitamin B12, making it the perfect choice for those with dietary preferences or restrictions.
Plus, with Violife’s delicious plant-based alternative-to-cheese range having less than half the carbon emissions and occupying two-thirds less of the land to produce when compared to dairy products (based on a life cycle assessment in 2022 by Quantis of 9 Violife cheese alternative products compared to dairy cheese in the UK).
“Violife is committed to supercharging the plant-based cheese alternative industry by creating products that deliver on taste, quality, and sustainability credentials,” said Jess Millner, senior brand manager at Violife. “We want to make it easy for consumers to make the switch without sacrificing on taste and texture, so they can go plant-based and stay cheesy. Our new plant-based Cheddarton is the result of extensive research and development – with consumers at the heart of it – aimed at providing cheddar lovers with a delicious alternative that aligns with their values and dietary choices. We’re proud to be leaders in this category as we aim to bring more choice and variety to consumers that deliver against their expectations. This is the foundation of our strong and consumer-first innovation pipeline!
Violife’s new Cheddarton plant-based cheddar cheese is available at Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Morrisons, and Asdastores nationwide now.
