Frequently Asked Questions 

Why are cashews used in vegan cheese?

Cashews are something of a powerhouse in the nut world. High in protein and healthy fats, they’re a favorite choice of ingredient of vegan cheese-makers thanks to their creamy and hearty texture. Not only are they a great way of getting a rich and milk-like taste, but they’re packed with important nutrients.

What is Irish moss?

Irish moss is a type of algae that is commonly used in foodstuff around the world. Thanks to the jelly-like consistency of carrageenan – the main extract from Irish moss – it makes for a great plant-based alternative to gelatin. While you might not have heard much about it, it’s a common stabilizer in a wide variety of grocery store ingredients.

Basic Roots’ Artisanal Feta Cheese in Olive Oil with Herbs uses Irish moss for its thickening properties to help set its all-natural cheese. Free from all those unpronounceable gelling agents and strange chemicals, Basic Roots only uses Mother Earth’s freshest and finest.
