Cauliflower-Based Cheeses

Dr. Mannah’s Camembert Alternative is Made with a Cruciferous Veggie

Dr. Mannah’s Creamy White camembert alternative cheese is handmade using traditional methods, naturally fermented and made with a base of cauliflower. In recent years, cauliflower has proven itself to be a viable alternative to everything from rice and mashed potatoes to pizza crusts, and now it is making its debut as a creamy cheese alternative.

The cheese alternative is said to have a "spicy noble mold and a creamy, firm core," and it is just as great for snacking and serving as it is cooking. This oven-ready cheese is not only made with cauliflower but also carrots, vegan fermentation cultures, sunflower protein and a few other key ingredients.

This year, the innovative Dr. Mannah`s product was recognized with the World Dairy Innovation Award in the category for best dairy alternative.
