Vegan cheese isn’t usually anything to write home about, in terms of taste and texture. Dreamfarm, a startup based in Parma, in the Food Valley of Italy, is hoping to change that. It’s cooked up a plant-based mozzarella using a base of fermented almonds, and just a handful of other ingredients, which it reckons does a far better job of mimicking actual mozzarella than the average vegan cheese alternative.

As with traditional (quality) dairy-based mozzarella, Dreamfarm’s plant-based cheese comes as a ball suspended in liquid — so you’re not buying a bag of mozzarella-flavored cubes or shredded bits. (And the startup says it has a patent on the process used to create this faux “mozzarella in liquid” using a blend of vegan ingredients.) The product also boasts an ‘A’ Nutri-Score, with lower levels of fat, saturated fat and salt than dairy-based mozzarella. (Albeit, it’s also lower in protein.)
