SHEESE - SOON TO BE EVEN TASTIER!

At Bute Island Foods we continually strive to offer the best possible Dairy-Free alternatives to cheese

and cream cheese. So over the past few months we have been busy in the test kitchen & have improved the texture

of all the hard Sheese so it is now even closer to Dairy cheese. Don't take our word for it though - try it for yourself!

                                                                      Please bear in mind it will take a short while for the new improved Sheese to reach the stores.

economic crisis people from all walks of life ventured out to sample an array of Vegan delights, or to learn more

about some of the animal rights groups, even just to see some of the great entertainment on offer.

For the Bute Island Foods team the highlight of the weekend was receiving the Vegan Environmental Award for

Best Vegan Manufacturer. It means a lot to us all to be recognized for the hard work we put into supplying the best

Vegan alternatives we can, and we look forward to supporting events like the Bristol Vegan Fayre

& other Vegan events across the country whenever possible. Finally a big thanks to Tim, Charlie, Yaoh, and
