Plant-Based Cheese

CULCHERD is a dairy-alternative company making products out of plants...

Our Story began when we were met with a lack of cheesy, satisfying flavour that couldn’t be found from plant-based cheeses on the market. You know the one; that melty, gooey, tangy, rich, creamy kind of yum. We knew we could do better.

Creating delicious dairy-alternatives made with the highest-quality, organic ingredients in the most environmentally sustainable way possible are our core values. These factors are non-negotiables in the production of all Culcherd products.

Chef created by co-owner Liz Gallagher, our products have a unique cultured taste. We strive for all of our  products to have a short and clean ingredient deck in order to consistently provide uncompromised quality products.

STOKES CHEESE

Like most, we grew up enjoying dairy cheese and it was a huge part of our diet. So we set out to create our own dairy-free, cruelty-free cheese that would be reminiscent of the taste and texture of the dairy cheese we grew up with and loved; and it had to be healthy, ethical and sustainable.

Eventually, we perfected our vegan cheeses, served them to our unsuspecting non-vegan friends and family who loved them, asked where we purchased them and were utterly shocked when we told them they were our own dairy free creations. Word spread about our cheese and before long we were making cheese for countless people - friends, family and friends of friends. Vegans and omnivores alike couldn't get enough.

After much encouragement to make our products available to everyone, Vegan Stokes Cheese was launched - a true passion project! Our cheese is a labour of love and an extension of  our vegan lifestyle - a small local family operated business, with a Passion for Compassion! Every product is handcrafted in small batches, hand wrapped and made with love.
