My extra mature vegan cheddar is simple to make, and is a mind-blowingly delicious, full-
bodied, and robust dairy-free cheese.

Course: Cheese Cuisine: British Servings: 500 g Calories: 127kcal Author: yumsome

Ingredients
1 quantity cashew cream
120 ml coconut oil
3 tbsp nutritional yeast flakes
2 tbsp white miso paste
2 tsp onion powder
2 tsp dry mustard powder
½ tsp sea salt
70 g plain vegan yoghurt

Instructions
1. Place all of the ingredients into a food processor, and whizz together until you have a smooth, creamy
paste.
2. Transfer to a non-reactive bowl, cover with cling film, making sure the cling film is in contact with the
entire surface of the 'cheese', and set aside to culture. This will take anywhere between one and three
days, depending on the temperature of your home. The warmer it is, the quicker the cheese will culture.
3. Once the cheese has reached your desired tanginess, give it a stir to knock out the oxygen bubbles, then
transfer it to lightly-oiled non-reactive container. Press down to make sure it’s as compacted as possible,
and smooth the top.
4. Cover with cling film, making sure the film touches the surface of the cheese (keeps out nasties), and
place in the ‘fridge for 2-3 days to ripen – longer if you want it to be firmer and have a deeper flavour.
5. Once it’s fully matured (after 2-3 weeks), this cheddar can be sliced for use in sandwiches, wraps,
salads, etc. Left at room temperature, it will be soft enough to spread. If you want to grate it, then freeze
it, and grate while frozen.
6. Store in the ‘fridge in a Ziploc bag or wrapped in cling film.

Notes
1. For the cashew cream, you will need the entire recipe's worth (c.240g).
2. I am aware that some people have read things on the internet about the 'evils' of cling film - if you are
one of these people, I urge you to read this article.
