Many start to salivate just thinking about it. At the Vegan Butcher, we always wanted to make <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.veganbutcher.be\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tasty vegan cheese<\/a>. Although officially we can\u2019t call it by that name, our cheese is made of plants. So usually we call it <em>\u2018cheez\u2019<\/em>, as not to shock the sensitive souls. \ud83d\ude09<\/p><p>The auto-correct function on my computer is very stubborn though and keeps correcting it to &#8216;cheese&#8217;. Who am I to argue with technology?! We still live in the dark middle ages when it concerns opinions about vegan food: many still think vegan cheese is this flavourless, rubbery, bland stuff. Times are changing though, and more and more interesting cheese \u2018alternatives\u2019 are making their way to the market. Some good, some not so good.<\/p><p>So, let\u2019s get to the interesting part: the food itself. At The Vegan Butcher, although more focused on the vegan \u2019meats\u2019, we have a rather small range of cheeses. BUT, they\u2019re tasty!<\/p><p>Our most \u2018famous\u2019 one, the <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.veganbutcher.be\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">vegan mozza<\/a> is highly appreciated by our clients. The biggest amount of this product goes to our professional clients though. There are a few pizzeria\u2019s and restaurants in Brussels who work with the \u2018mozza\u2019, as we call it. Among them there is <a href=\"https:\/\/chicagocafe.be\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chicago Trattoria<\/a> (Rue de Flandres) and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basilsliberte.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Basils<\/a> (Place de la Libert\u00e9) .
