Unexpected aspect. As the war in Ukraine hit the production of vegan cheese

The stores can also find alternative fondue cheese. If in 2020 the world sales of vegan cheese amounted to $ 2. 5 billion, then by 2030 business analytics predict an increase of up to $ 7 billion. This decision was not accidental - he went to the vegan diet and tried to find products suitable for himself in supermarkets, but not quite successful. As a result, he launched the production of plant ingredients.

He now produces five names, including the cheese "Young Dutch" that imitates Gaudu; "Italian sustained", similar to Parmesan; Greek white, which can replace a feta, as well as cheese for fondue and paste. Vanstoun's products are already being sold in the United Kingdom, and in the near future it intends to enter the German market. On the Wilicroft website, you can view the ingredients from which cheese substitutes are made.

For example, Parmesan includes: cache, corn starch, food yeast, salt, garlic powder, natural flavoring. And "feta" is made from white beans, coconut oil, potato starch, apple cider vinegar and garlic powder. The Italian Nivi Jas from London after moving to a vegetarian diet to eat vegetable cheese - its taste seemed plastic. However, Jassa's girl prepared a delicious vegetable cheese with cache at home.

This idea was so inspired that he, together with his partner, founded the brand I Am Nut OK in 2017. Today, they produce eight names that are sold in more than 200 outlets in the UK. However, this year was difficult even for his business. And not the last role in this was played by war in Ukraine. According to JAS, electricity prices and ingredients have increased significantly. It is, in particular, about sunflower oil, which is imported from Ukraine.

"We do not see any growth," - comments the British businessman. Earlier, the company sold its products to Germany and France, but after the bracket it became more difficult - the number of permits at customs increased, import tax has emerged, logistics problems occurred. In addition, there is a confusion on both sides of the border on how to classify cheese substitute. Currently, the Greek Company Violife is the world leader in the production of cheese substitutes.
