We’re delighted to announce the arrival of three exceptional Swiss cheeses to our range: the brand-new Monti Porchini, the extraordinarily rare Rahmtaler, and the flavour-packed Bärlauchkäse.

Working with Gourmino and European Fine Cheese, we’ve managed to secure these three fantastic new cheeses, not available through any other wholesaler in the UK, continuing our mission to bring distinctive, world-class products to our customers. 

These cheeses represent true Swiss craftsmanship and provide buyers, retailers and food service operators with standout options that combine rarity and provenance with world-class quality.

Monti Porchini by Güntensperger Käse AG

Monti Porchini is a naturally lactose-free Swiss cheese refined with 4% real porcini mushrooms and matured for 60 days. Produced by Güntensperger Käse AG using traditional family recipes, this creamy yet savoury cheese delivers a rich, unmistakable depth of flavour. Earthy porcini notes beautifully complement the smooth Swiss base, creating a cheese that exemplifies the precision and provenance of Swiss cheesemaking.

Rahmtaler by Marcel Zuger and Markus Hengartner for Gourmino.

Joining the range is the incredibly rare Rahmtaler, a luxurious, cream-enriched version of Emmentaler AOP. Made with fresh raw milk, cream is added the evening before production to achieve its distinctive richness and supple texture. Crafted to a traditional recipe by just three dairies, Rahmtaler is made by master cheesemakers Marcel Zuger and Markus Hengartner for Gourmino.

Production is exceptionally limited, with only five to six wheels made each year, making this one of the rarest Swiss cheeses available. Each wheel weighs approximately 95kg, adding to its exclusivity and theatre.

BÄRLAUCHKÄSE, by Güntensperger Käse AG

Completing the trio is Bärlauchkäse, a semi-hard cheese infused with dried wild garlic leaves. Also produced by Güntensperger Käse AG, this cheese balances delicate garlic notes with the rounded sweetness of Swiss milk.

5 minutes with I AM NUT OK

We love to spotlight our fantastic suppliers so we sat down with I AM NUT OK as part of our Veganuary campaign to find out more about their Vegan Cheese passion and offering.

A brief history of your company, where and when it started, company values: I AM NUT OK was born in 2017. The company was founded by Angela Chou and Nivi Jasa, a couple living in London. Angela was already vegan when they met, and hailing from Los Angeles, she knew exactly how good vegan food could be. Instantly hooked by the positive impact on health, the environment and animal welfare that this lifestyle offered, Nivi agreed to go vegan too. However, being Italian, he knew he would really struggle without cheese. At that time, the vegan cheese available on the market was pretty dire. So, Angela started making some for Nivi in their home kitchen. They both immediately realised that it was something special, so they started selling it at a local farmers market. Inspired by the feedback and the customers who returned week after week for their cheeses, they gradually scaled the company up. Both Angela and Nivi come from design backgrounds. So, the products have always looked as ravishing as they taste. As a result, within a year I AM NUT OK had bagged a listing with Fortnum & Mason (who assumed this was a long-established brand), and that was all before they’d even had a chance to launch their own online shop. It has been onwards and upwards ever since, but we still use the same recipes that Angela developed in her kitchen all those years ago.

Could you tell us a bit about the process behind making vegan cheese? I AM NUT OK makes a range of fresh cheeses, aged cheeses, and cultured butters – all vegan of course! We create our products by fermenting cashew nuts with dairy-free cheese cultures. In this culturing process, the plant proteins are transformed into cheesy goodness full of good lactic bacteria, which gives it that authentic tang. Our aged cheeses are blended with high quality herbs and spices and matured in our cellars to develop deep and complex flavours. This artisanal process is a labour of love, and it results in the most incredible tasting plant-based cheeses. 

Tell us a little bit about what makes your products different/special and why retailers should sell your alternative cheeses? Many of the vegan cheeses on the market are made from oils, starches and unusual ingredients with long names that seem to need a chemistry degree to decipher. The recipes for I AM NUT OK’s cheeses were developed in a home kitchen, so the ingredients are clean and understandable, with either cashew nuts or soya milk making up the lion’s share. We focus on big flavours rather than simply mimicking conventional cheeses, which is why so many dairy lovers have fallen head over heels for our cheeses too. They contain no cholesterol, making them a healthier choice. Around 65% of the world’s population experiences some form of lactose intolerance, with the highest numbers among people of colour, which makes plant-based cheeses a far more inclusive option. We conducted a Life Cycle Assessment Report on one of our cashew-based cheeses, which concluded that the greenhouse gas emissions were 72% lower than that of a dairy-based equivalent. So, switching from dairy to vegan is a great decision for the environmentally conscious. And finally, it goes without saying that our cheeses are a compassionate choice when it comes to animal welfare. 

What is your bestselling, most-loved product? During the summer months we see a huge surge in sales of Fetamorphosis as attention turns towards salads and mezze in the sunshine. Bluffalo Notzarella is fast-becoming the go-to choice for pizza connoisseurs throughout the UK, particularly since the CEO of Ooni described it as “one of the best cheese alternatives we’ve ever found.” But our top three, year in and year out, remain the luxurious truffle-infused Nerominded, the super-punchy MinerThreat, and herby, tangy and aptly named G.O.A.T.. This trio creates the cheeseboard of dreams. We also make limited-edition seasonal flavours, which always prove extremely popular with our die-hard fans, and we love getting creative with the photoshoots and branding.

Are there any particular moments that make you especially proud? Have you won any awards, and what are these? We have curated a vegan cheese hamper for Selfridge’s every Christmas for the last four years, but it still gives us goosebumps every time. Working with distributors like Curd & Cure means that we sometimes stumble across our cheeses in unexpected places, and that gives us a huge buzz. Walking into a pizzeria and seeing our cheese bubbling on a freshly baked pizza fills us with pride. We were also immensely proud to reach the final of Aldi’s Next Big Thing. The outpouring of support we received after the show aired on Channel 4 was incredible, and that’s what we do this for. Our cheeses have won countless awards, but all the awards in the world pale into insignificance compared to a single heartfelt review from a customer. You’ll regularly find us weeping over joyful emails that were typed with one hand still clasping a cheese knife.

Do you have any must-do tips for how to eat your cheeses, any specific pairings that you would recommend? Everybody has very different tastes and rules are meant to be broken, so we always recommend experimenting. But we love to make creamy pasta sauces with G.O.A.T., spread Rigotta across a hot bagel, dice Fetamorphosis into a watermelon salad and pack MinerThreat and pickle sandwiches into a backpack before going on a hike.

What tips would you give to retailers/delis/foodservice providers that stock your products, how it should be kept, presented or displayed? The people who sell our cheeses know their customers better than anyone, so we would never tell them what to do. However, we do always get a kick out of seeing a good selection of our products displayed alongside their dairy-based counterparts offering a strong and sustainable alternative.

What’s your favourite product and why? Oh, Grate!. It’s the O.G. of umami. It’s so versatile, you can sprinkle it on anything. Nivi can often be found eating it straight out of the bag.

Vegan Cheese

Is there anyone who particularly inspires you/someone that you perhaps look up to in the industry? Miyoko Schinner is a pioneer and a constant source of inspiration. The world of vegan cheese wouldn’t be what it is without her. If you haven’t seen You Are What You Eat: A Twin Experiment on Netflix, then we urge you to give it a watch.

5 minutes with Honestly Tasty

We love to spotlight our fantastic suppliers so we sat down with Honestly Tasty to find out more about their Vegan Cheese passion and offering.

A brief history of your company, company values, and where and when it started.

Mike left uni with an MEng in Spacecraft Engineering – and now he’s making plant-based cheese that’s out of this world! After months of experimenting, Mike developed a now award-winning recipe for vegan blue cheese. It was too good not to share, so he closed the door on corporate banking and founded Honestly Tasty… The aim was, and is, to help change perception and drive a change in behaviour. Because whether you’re vegan, lactose intolerant, or simply like to try new things – we want to shake off the bad rep that alt dairy gets.

Using carefully selected ingredients, we bring together fresh thinking with traditional cheese-making techniques – so fast forward a few years, and we now offer a range of award-winning cheese alternatives, available online and via stockists around the UK – because we just don’t believe that ditching dairy should result in missing out!

Could you tell us a bit about the process behind making vegan cheese?

We combine traditional methods with new techniques, using carefully selected plant-based ingredients. We pasteurise, culture, and mature our products – hand flipping them daily where necessary and caring for them as dairy cheese mongers care for their products.

If you’re familiar with dairy cheese, you’ll know about casein – it plays a massive part in dairy cheese production and is mainly responsible for the key characteristics that a lot of vegan cheeses find tricky to emulate… for us, that’s where a starch structure comes in. We work hard to achieve the perfect ratio of starch against fats (finding the right balance and making sure that the emulsification binds together in a way that makes it possible to achieve different textures and mouthfeel at different temperatures, e.g. squished on a cracker, swirled into a sauce or melted on a pizza!

Tell us a little bit about what makes your products different/unique and why retailers should sell your alternative cheeses.

We draw from traditional cheese-making techniques. We pasteurise, culture, mature and rind-wash to create tastes and textures that people crave. Our alternatives perform like the dairy they’re styled on – melting, oozing, smushing, squishing – just as they should. No compromises.

With many options giving vegan cheese a bad name, we set out to make alternatives to get people talking – only this time, for the right reasons – because 29% of households now claim to be actively avoiding/reducing dairy – retailers must provide honestly tasty options.

The underlying drivers behind a boom in plant-based are health, the environment and animal welfare – and our plant-based Blue alone is responsible for 75% fewer carbon emissions than a dairy equivalent. That’s 411g CO2e fewer emissions in every 100g serving!

Focusing on dairy-free cheese taste is the leading barrier preventing trial, with this rejection often happening before consumption. We make award-winning plant-based cheese with cheese lovers in mind for people who want to cut out or down on dairy.

What is your bestselling, most-loved product?

They really do share the crown! Our Shamembert shines brightest in colder months (it bakes and oozes just like the cheese it’s styled on), and everyone loves a cranberry and “bree” toastie. Our Blue gets a lot of love all year round. Our newest cheese – Garlic & Herb – a creamy, crumbly gournay style, was crowned ‘best plant-based cheese’ at the Plant Based Taste Awards in November 2023 – we’ve actually had a lot of people tell us they prefer it to the dairy version, including lots of people that do eat dairy!

Are there any particular moments that make you incredibly proud? Have you won any awards, and what are these?

We still get fizzy with excitement every time we win an award! Scooping up ‘stars’ at the ‘Great Taste Awards’ last year was a real highlight – and seeing our product on physical shelves just never gets old. Reviews and feedback, too – they mean the world to us; when someone explains how our products make a positive impact on their life, that’s what it’s all about, really 🙂

Do you have any must-do tips for how to eat your cheeses, any specific pairings that you would recommend?

We do lots of recipe development to showcase our cheese (on our blog, here!) and we’ve worked with various drinks brands in the past to pair our cheeses with wines, beer and cider – like a pro! As a rule of thumb, though, they each pair similarly to the dairy versions, as the flavour profiles aren’t too far apart!

What tips would you give to retailers/delis/food service providers that stock your products? How it should they be kept, presented or displayed?

In delis especially – where possible – we recommend having the cheese ‘out’ and ‘on display’, e.g. a camembert in its box with the lid open to show the rind, perhaps a wedge of Blue poking out of its sleeve to highlight the mouldy rind. In general, though, we’ve worked hard on our packaging and shelf presence – styling it on dairy whilst giving it a unique personality – so that it attracts consumers from the get-go… and then ultimately, the taste will do the talking!

What’s your favourite product and why?

That’s like asking a parent who their favourite child is! We like to think there’s a reason ‘cheeseboards’ came about… so there’s no need to choose!

Hello Veganuary and delicious cheese alternatives!

The vegan or plant-based cheese market is said to continue to grow significantly over the next few years. Being driven by the demand for vegan alternatives, consumers’ choices are being driven by health, ethical, environmental or taste-related factors. And with all of those things, the experimentation of vegan-cheeses being made from things such as nuts, seeds, and soy. But as this demand grows, we see more and more amazing producers emerging from across the UK, many of which are producing fantastic products that deliver on taste and texture!

We are delighted to be able to work alongside these producers and support the ever-expanding vegan cheese market and we’re extremely excited to be taking the opportunity of Veganuary to highlight some of these producers. 

I AM NUT OK

First up, we have I AM NUT OK. Curd & Cure have been working with I AM NUT OK for a few years now, and it’s because their products are outstanding. 

I AM NUT OK is owned by Angela and Nivi, an American and Italian couple passionate about vegan cheese, producing their artisan dairy-free cheese in Hackney.

Using their diverse palettes, love for cheese, and design backgrounds, they teamed up to start the business, so they could share their delicious creations with others. They produce their ‘not’ cheeses in small batches, using a mix of traditional and new techniques, and the Nerominded black truffle is a particular favourite of ours. 

This eye-catching black cheese is highlighted by its golden turmeric vein and splash of turmeric on top. The earthy, pungent aroma of black truffle, brought together with an accent of garlic and cheesiness, gives a luxurious flavour that will blow your mind.

Discover our brochure via the website, and get in touch to add some vegan options to your next cheeseboards.

https://www.iamnutok.com

Honestly Tasty 

Reasonably new to the C&C brochure, Honestly Tasty are producing some really exciting products which we are now able to share with our customers. 

Honestly Tasty was founded by Mike when his veganism came up against his love for cheese. His passion meant he was determined to find a cheese that delivered on taste and texture, and after months of experimenting he developed the now award-winning vegan blue cheese and he never looked back.

These cheeses are the perfect vegan addition if you’re looking to try something different this Christmas and looking for a dairy free alternative for the board.

If you’re unsure about what cheeses to go for, or if you’re looking for a particular taste or texture, get in touch with the team, who will be more than happy to point you in the right direction. 

Looking for recipe inspiration, head to their website.
