Kinda Co is a small award-winning brand of artisan dairy-free cheeses, all sold in easy-to-recycle and/or compostable packaging. The cheeses were created by a woman who adores cheese, so after not finding the tastes she craved after going vegan, decided to make her own. She got so good at it, she now even runs online cheese-making courses!
Avoid unpasteurised miso and cultures for blue cheese during pregnancy/nursing and for weak immune systems (including children). Keep nuts (macadamia, cashews, almonds) away from children and pets. Read more on food safety for people and pets.
Most cheeses have a fridge shelf life of around 10 weeks, but eat within a few days, once open. You can freeze block cheeses on day of delivery for up to 6 months (thaw overnight in fridge).
All packaging can be recycled at kerbside, and the trays are mostly recycled content. Ice packs can be reused (or drain contents and recycle plastic liner – keep dry ice away from children and pets).
The range includes the following block cheeses (all melt so good to stir into mashed potatoes or pasta sauces). Or buy a ‘cheeseboard collection’ or subscribe to the monthly cheese club!
- Farmhouse is a sharp cheddar-style cheese, good in sandwiches or on a cheeseboard.
- Smoked is infused with hand-harvested smoked Dorset sea salt and smoked water from Halen Mon. Ideal with tomato, lettuce and vegan mayo for a BLT, or melted on a veggie burger.
- Garlic Chive has a crumbly texture – du vin, du pain, du Kinda Co Boursin alternative!
- Summer Truffle contains edible dried flowers, lovely in mashed potato or risotto.
- Chilli is a spicy smoky cheese with Hungarian paprika spice. Not too spicy, this is good with pasta, burritos or chilli.
- Greek-Style is a crumbly salty alternative to feta, nice for pasta, pizza and salad.
- Cranberry combines sweet mild cashew cheese with North American berries. Nice with crackers.
- Rosemary, Garlic and Black Pepper combines winter herb tastes, lovely melted into a cauliflower cheese sauce.
- Blue has spirulina (check medication) that’s not as strong as dairy blue cheese, nice with pear and walnut salad.
- Spiced Fig is a gourmet cheese with sweet fig pieces and mulled wine spices. One for the festive table.
- Lemon and Dill is another festive treat, lovely with a breakfast bagel.
Mozzalloumi is (as the name suggests) a replacement for Mozzarella or Halloumi cheese, for Italian and Greek recipes. Just cook until golden-brown, the middle is still gooey! Nice in a flatbread with pesto or as part of a cooked breakfast.
