Waitrose, Sainsbury's and Asda have signed up to stock the Ilchester® Vegan Festive Selection, perfect for a vegan Christmas.
Back in June, Ilcheseter® announced their ground-breaking Vegan Festive Selection featuring their popular smoky Applewood and Spicy Mexicana vegan cheeses alongside new Vegan Melting Mature and Vegan Blue cheeses. Three supermarket giants have now decided the stock the product, making it widely available to vegans and non-vegans alike.
This news comes after Applewood revealed that their vegan cheese accounted for a whopping 20% of their sales – a much higher figure than the reported number of vegans in the UK at 1%.
Moreover, Ian Theasby and Henry Firth who make up social media sensation Bosh recently posted a vegan cheese taste test, voting Applewood Vegan and Mexicana Vegan in second and third place respectively.
