The best vegan cheese

From Afternoons, 1:25 pm today

A local Orewa business has been named the Supreme Winner of this years Vegan Society of Aotearoa Vegan Cheese Awards, for 'The Greek' a dairy free Feta.

'One Love Planet' create Artisan small batch cheeses from plant milks. Despite being cheese free, they say they actually taste cheesy - and, the judges of the Vegan Society of Aotearoa Vegan Cheese Awards agrees. Pretty impressive considering they've only been in business for about a year.

Janin Dei-Conti is the brains behind the operation, the owner and founder of One Love Planet.
