Tyne Chease (includes plant-based liquid mozzarella)

Tyne Chease (based just outside Newcastle) makes organic cashew cheeses (they don’t melt, more for cheeseboards, with fruit and wine).

All have a tangy taste (apple-smoked, pink peppercorn, pickled onion, Ethiopian spice and cream cheeses in glass jars, plus a creamy nacho dip. It even makes vegan camembert! It has recently become the  first UK company to introduce a plant-based liquid mozzarella alternative!

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.
