In addition to stocking its own range of vegan cheeses, UK supermarket chain Sainsbury’s is now selling a vegan cheese platter for the holidays.
The Violife Christmas Dairy-Free Platter introduces a trio of free-from cheese alternatives that are made without dairy, soya, gluten, lactose, nuts or preservatives. The three coconut oil-based varieties that are included in the vegan cheese platter include Blu Block, Cranberry After Dinner and Mature Block.
Just a few years ago, there were few dairy-free cheese options on the market for consumers, but heightened demand for plant-based alternatives has called for the creation of satisfying substitutes, especially when it comes to holiday eating. The season can be a particularly challenging time to accommodate people with different kinds of diets, but this free-from cheese platter offers something new and exciting option that virtually anyone may try.
