The quest for delicious plant-based cheese has long been a challenge, with various styles serving different culinary purposes, from pizza toppings to sandwich spreads and cheesecake fillings. However, at this year’s Plant Based World Expo Europe, an exciting array of plant-based, dairy-free cheeses takes centre stage, promising to cater to every taste and culinary application.
Whether you’re in the mood for an American-style cheese slice to melt on a burger, a stretchy, gooey mozzarella, or an artisanal blue cheese fit for a holiday cheese board, this expo has you covered.
Check out some of the highlights:
1. Honestly Tasty (Stand I23): Their 100% vegan and cruelty-free cheese alternatives are available for delivery through their website and stockists across the United Kingdom. Their award-winning plant-based Blue Cheese, made with Penicillium Roqueforti, is delightfully smooth and creamy.

2. Armored Fresh (Stand G17): This American brand made waves in New York with a massive billboard placement in Times Square and a special press preview at the renowned New York restaurant, abcV. Now, they’re on a mission to bring their American slices made with oat milk over here. The new oat milk cheese style slice ie salty, sharp and with the same nutty flavours of real dairy cheese.
3. Purezza (Stand C20): The pizza company that crafted its range of vegan cheeses with the taste, texture, and melt of dairy mozzarella. Their ‘Mozzella’ and ‘Stracciazza,’ made from aquafaba, have graced over a million pizzas and delighted customers from Brighton to Camden and Manchester. These cheeses are now used by Soho House, Everyman Cinema, and independent pizzerias. Purezza is also the official vegan cheese sponsor of the National Pizza Awards.

Their shredded cheese, made from 100% plant-based natural ingredients, is ideal for scalloped dishes, pizza, and other melt-in-your-mouth recipes. They also offer a Parmesan-style topping, perfect for classic Italian pasta dishes with 20% protein.
