Plant-based dairy may only seem like a recent market boom with every café having a menu-level selection of the different milks available. But plant-based milks can actually be dated back to the 14th Century China, where soy milk was a breakfast staple, and the use of almond milk can be traced back to the middle ages.
While most people have tried plant-based milk, today we are going to focus on plant-based brands of cheese, yogurt, and other dairy-based products that are innovative enough to be made entirely from plants.
Plant-based cheeses have come a long way. Replicating the unique texture, flavour and ability to melt and bubble of such a staple delicacy and culturally significant food has been an uphill battle of the plant based world. But compared to even only five years ago, it’s safe to say the products available now have overcome this challenge.
