Soft Spot Vegan Cheddar Cheese – 200 g

Soft Spot Vegan Cheddar Cheese is a 200 g dairy-free cheddar block made in India from cashew cream and coconut oil. It is firm enough to slice for burgers and grate over nachos, with a sharper, saltier flavour than the mozzarella.

A firm block with the tang an English cheddar is meant to have — sharper and saltier than the mozzarella, and dense enough to slice cleanly rather than crumble. It is the workhorse of the range: burgers, grilled sandwiches, nachos, and the pav bhaji or masala toast where a mild cheese would simply disappear.

At a glance

How to use it

• Burgers — Slice thin and lay on the hot patty so residual heat melts it.
• Grilled cheese and masala toast — Grates finely and melts without splitting.
• Nachos and tacos — Scatter over and grill for 3–4 minutes.
• Pav bhaji and cheese maggi — Stirs through hot dishes and dissolves smoothly.

What’s in it

Water, cashew cream (30%), coconut oil (23%), tapioca starch, thickening agent (E407), salt, vegan flavours, emulsifying and stabilising agent (E412), acidity regulator (E270).

How it compares

This is the sharpest of the Soft Spot blocks. Smoked Cheddar is the same base with hickory smoke added — better on a cheeseboard. Mozzarella is milder and stretchier for pizza. Double Chill adds heat.

What is the difference between the cheddar and the smoked cheddar?
