Smoked Plant-Based Cheddar 200 g — Hickory Smoked | Soft Spot

Soft Spot Smoked Plant-Based Cheddar is a firm dairy-free block with hickory smoke worked through it, in the spirit of a Dutch smoked gouda. The smoke is the point: it carries through a toastie, a pasta bake or a fondue in a way a plain cheese does not.

Key Features

• Hickory smoke flavour that becomes more pronounced once melted.
• Melts and grates: yeast protein and coconut oil base, firm from the fridge.
• Pairs with the Mozzarella block for a fondue with both stretch and flavour.
• Dairy-free, lactose-free, cholesterol-free.

Ingredients

Water, Yeast Protein 8.0%, Coconut Oil 14.3%, Potato Starch, Corn Starch, Irish Sea Moss, Salt, Nutritional Yeast, Plant-Based Flavours, Natural Colour Annatto [E160b(i)], Acidity Regulator (E270).

How to Use

• Grilled sandwiches and burgers.
• Grated into pasta bakes and mac-style sauces.
• Melted for fondue — half smoked cheddar, half mozzarella.
• Cubed onto a platter with pickles and crackers.

FAQs

How strong is the smoke?

Noticeable but not overpowering when cold, and more pronounced once the cheese is melted.

Does it melt like the plain cheddar?

Yes, it uses the same firm block base, so it grates cold and melts smooth.

What does it go with?

Pickles, mustard, caramelised onion and dark bread suit it; on a board it works next to the Parmezan for contrast.

How long once opened?

Wrap or box it airtight in the fridge and finish within about 10 days.
