Chizou is a plant-powered cheese alternative that's made with locally sourced cauliflower and chickpea protein. The grated alt cheese can be found in three varieties, each of which speaks to a different kind of food fan. There's one variety for pasta lovers, another for pizza lovers and a third kind of grated plant-based cheese for fans of Tex-Mex.
This alternative cheese is made to melt just like real cheese and it's ready to use in a wide range of meal and snack recipes from savory summer cakes and cheesy meatless meatballs to pizza toast. Cauliflower was mindfully chosen as a key ingredient in these plant-powered cheeses for being naturally rich in nutrients and perfect for absorbing flavors.
Belgium’s Bolder Foods is also working on non-dairy cheeses made using biomass fermentation.
