I Am Nut OK (artisan vegan cheese from London)

I Am Nut OK is a gourmet brand, founded by an American/Italian couple in London. It offers a nice non-dairy cheddar alternative, a ricotta alternative in a glass jar, Oh Grate! (a Parmesan alternative including a Ho! Ho! Ho! version with sage and onion) and an affordable ‘wonky wedge’ to combat food waste.

Recycle packaging at kerbside or supermarket bag bins. Avoid blue/mouldy cheeses for pregnancy/nursing, children and week immunity (and keep vegan cheese away from pets due to nuts, garlic, salt, chives etc). Don’t give leftovers to birds, as salt can harm and fat can smear on feathers, affecting waterproofing and insulation.

Rosemary and sea salt not butter is a find! It’s a bit gourmet, but lovely on toast, jacket potatoes or melted on pasta. Infused with cultured cashew milk and rosemary, it has a cheesy milky ‘tang’ and herby goodness.

Free from palm oil, it’s also sold in an easy-to-recycle glass jar with a metal lid. Keep in the fridge, and use up within a few days of opening.
