Revamping plant-based cheese
Plant-based cheese Applewood Vegan is relaunching with a new recipe. The product, which first launched five years ago, has been tweaked to help improve its texture and ultimately, look and taste more like dairy cheese.
"As we approach the fifth anniversary since the launch of Applewood Vegan, we decided it was time to take a look at the original recipe and see if we could tweak it a bit to make it even tastier and creamier than the original recipe,” explained senior brand manager Ffion Davies.
Blind taste tests suggest the new recipe will be well received, with testers saying it tasted ‘much more’ like real cheese and had a ‘nicer texture’.
"The blind taste tests proved that the new recipe was as well received as we had hoped it would be and we can't wait to see the new Applewood Vegan out on shelves of all of the major supermarkets across the UK; we are really looking forward to hearing what people think about the new recipe,” continued Davies.
Applewood Vegan is available to buy in block and slices formats from Asda, Sainsbury’s Tesco, Waitrose, Ocado and Morrisons in the UK.
