Plant-based alternative for cheese

Hard block cheese as a snack, sliced on a sandwich or melted on a pizza. Are you a cheese lover? There is no reason not to love cheese. More people choose a plant-based diet, so that means product developers are seeking for options to serve a growing market of plant-based cheese alternatives.

Cheese is known as a high protein product, therefore you must replace the protein that’s normally from dairy with a plant-based protein. Our Tendra® Fava Bean Protein Isolate is highly suitable to create a cheese-like texture and mouthfeel that closely resembles dairy cheese.
