OUR NAME IS INSPIRED BY THE CLASSIC CHEF CUTS THAT ARE FUNDAMENTAL TECHNIQUES FOR PREPARING VEGETABLES. IT SPEAKS TO OUR GASTRONOMIC ROOTS AND OUR PASSION FOR PLANT-BASED INGREDIENTS.

JULIENNE cut: when the ingredient is cut into long, uniform strips

BRUNOISE cut: the ingredient is first julienned, then rotated a quarter turn and diced.

WE MAKE DAIRY-FREE CHEESE AND DRY-AGED VEGETABLES. OUR PRODUCTS ARE AVAILABLE THROUGH OUR COMMUNITY OF RETAILERS, RESTAURANTS AND CHEFS. AND, OF COURSE, FROM OUR ONLINE STORE.

Soybeans are often misunderstood, but they can be a nutritious and healthy part of a balanced diet. Soybeans are a good source of protein, fibre, vitamins, and minerals, and they may have health benefits such as reducing the risk of heart disease and certain types of cancer. Soybeans have been cultivated and consumed by humans for thousands of years. For example it is used in form of tofu, soy milk and various other forms in traidtional Japanese and korean diets for centuries.

Soybeans are a relatively efficient crop to grow, requiring less land, water, and fertiliser than many other crops to produce the same amount of protein. Additionally, soybeans can be grown as part of a crop rotation system, which can help improve soil health and reduce erosion. The environmental concern stems from the fact that soybeans are commonly grown as a feed source for animal agriculture, particularly for livestock such as pigs, chickens, and cows. The majority of soybeans grown worldwide are used for animal feed rather than human consumption.

We've trialled freezing all of our products from collection 01. Crematta is the one with the best results. There is a slight change in texture upon thawing, however if you mix it back with spoon you can get the creamy smooth texture. Burrella also does freeze but there is a loss of original texture, so it's not something we actively recommend. Superstraccia is not fit for freezing.

We use organic soya and coconut, and are working behind the scenes to get the official certification to be able to claim an organic product/label.

Our Burrella is perfectly enjoyed on it's own, or as a salad topic for a variety of dishes. It has a delicate bite with creamy shreds inside. Please check out our recipes for more inspiration!
