Violife, a leading plant-based food brand, has recently unveiled its newest product: Cheddarton, a plant-based cheddar alternative that offers consumers a taste experience comparable to conventional dairy cheeses. Crafted entirely from plant-based ingredients, Cheddarton aims to satisfy consumer expectations for a more mature flavor profile, similar to that of dairy cheddar cheese.
Cheddarton stands out with its crumbly and creamy texture, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of culinary creations. Whether sliced, melted, crumbled, or grated, this innovative cheese alternative can be incorporated into various dishes, including sandwiches, salads, BBQs, pasta recipes, and more.
What sets Violife’s plant-based offerings apart from traditional cheddar cheese is the absence of the top 14 allergens, such as dairy, soya, gluten, lactose, and nuts, as well as preservatives. Additionally, it is non-GMO and fortified with vitamin B12. These qualities make Cheddarton an ideal choice for individuals with dietary preferences or restrictions.
Not only does Violife prioritize taste and quality, but it is also committed to sustainability. The brand’s plant-based alternative-to-cheese range has been found to produce less than half the carbon emissions and occupy two-thirds less land in comparison to dairy products, as per a life cycle assessment conducted by Quantis in 2022. This reinforces Violife’s dedication to creating products that not only deliver on consumer expectations but also contribute to reducing the environmental impact of food production.
According to Jess Millner, senior brand manager at Violife, the goal is to make the transition to plant-based options effortless for consumers, without compromising on taste and texture. Cheddarton represents the result of extensive research and development, with consumer input at the core. Violife aims to provide cheddar lovers with a delicious alternative that aligns with their values and dietary choices. The brand takes pride in being a leader in this category, continually striving to offer consumers more choice and variety.
Violife’s new plant-based Cheddarton can now be found at Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Morrisons, and Asda stores nationwide.
