Discounter Lidl is looking for the best plant-based cheese
Start-ups that develop plant-based cheese will soon have the chance to get their products on Lidl's shelves. The search is on for the best plant-based cheese.
Those interested in a plant-based diet can now find plenty of recipes for delicious meals without animal ingredients. There are also plenty of good substitutes for meat, eggs, milk and much more in the shops. But what many people have a problem with is cheese. Cheese from the supermarket that is made without cow's milk often tastes - and I speak from personal experience - somewhere between "nope" and "okay, but it's not real cheese".
More reach for delicious cheese alternatives
The company is primarily looking for hard cheese alternatives, but Lidl says it is also open to other types of cheese. Small companies have until 27 April to submit their products, special ingredients or innovative production processes. Lidl will select the finalists on 18 May. A jury will then select the winning cheese at a later date as part of a tasting event.
