Plant-based Cheese

Plant-based cheese alternatives are becoming increasingly popular as more people choose to adopt a plant-based lifestyle. Fava bean protein may not be the first thing that you would think about when it comes to cheese. But with our Tendra® Fava Bean Protein Isolate you can make the perfect alternative for grated cheese, cream cheese, and even hard block cheese. Explore our applications and try it for yourself with our recipe sheets.

Cheese

Hard block cheese as a snack, sliced on a sandwich or melted on a pizza. Are you a cheese lover? There is no reason not to love cheese. More people choose a plant-based diet, so that means product developers are seeking options to serve a growing market of plant-based cheese alternatives. Cheese is known as a high protein product. Therefore, you must replace the protein that’s normally from dairy with a plant-based protein. Our Tendra® Fava Bean Protein Isolate is highly suitable to create a cheese-like texture and mouthfeel that closely resembles dairy cheese.

  • Grates and melts like dairy cheese
  • Neutral taste, savoury flavour profile
