Welcome To The Inaugural Vegan Cheese Awards

Our awards for excellence in vegan food production have been embraced by NZ food producers and we are delighted to present our first awards for cheese.

We Kiwis love cheese and with the many vegan cheese options being created we too can enjoy a fancy cheese board or a cheesy pizza or pie. There are now so many different vegan cheeses available in New Zealand that we can taste test them all and find out which are the best!
You can tell your friends that this cheese is sure to please

Our awards will be celebrating the best vegan cheeses that New Zealand has to offer. Judging takes place on 19th July at The Butcher’s Son. Our favourite vegan comedian Tom Sainsbury will be joining us, along with Food and Beverage Industry judge Aaron Pucci and vegan restaurant owners Michael Khuwattanasenee (Khu Khu) and Luke Burrows (Wise Boys).
