London-based business Nush has produced the UK’s first almond m*lk spreadable cheese (RRP £2.75 per 150g tub). The start-up is currently launching the gut-friendly vegan cheese nationwide with Marks & Spencer.

The dairy-free cheese is available in two flavours, Natural and Chive. They will be joining the company’s range of fruity flavoured almond yogs, which are also available in Marks & Spencer stores in Strawberry, Raspberry and Blueberry varieties.

Nush claims its Spreadable Cheese can be used as a direct replacement for dairy-based products and is suitable as a cooking ingredient.

Bethany Eaton, Co-Founder of Nush, said: “We are delighted to be listed in over 200 Marks & Spencer stores nationwide with our range of dairy-free cheese spreads, reaching the growing market of people across the UK who are wanting a healthy alternative to dairy cheese.

“We feel honoured to have both our cheeses and yogs sit on Marks & Spencer’s shelves; particularly as they are slowly expanding their range of high-end branded products. This reflects M&S’s desire to offer more variety, especially in the free-from category.”

The Nush Spreadable Cheese range is also now available from Whole Foods Market, Planet Organic, and Ocado. It will be launching on Waitrose online store this May and to foodservice suppliers and wholesalers.
