So-so

Full disclosure: I tried to review via the seller site but there was no option on the site or from my emails with them so I've found this. So... I get that this is aimed at vegans/plant based people, and I've taken into account the positive impact this brand has/aims to have in writing this review and allotting stars. I applaud the aim. As a vegetarian looking to become vegan I was genuinely delighted to find this company and read the amazing reviews on their website. As someone who even when omnivore, generally hated cheese except a small and specific group of cheese situations (grated parmesan on pasta, boursin with chutney on crackers), I should be easy to win over. I figured that I hated the milky taste of cheese so surely I'd be a prime customer for products that weren't milky but had the strong umami flavour and dry crumbly yet melty texture of parmesan, or had the strong herby taste and creamy crumbly texture of boursin e.g. I was so excited by the reviews available on the website, all of which seemed amazing (less surprising when I realised how hard it was to leave a review on the website) that suggested the faux parmesan had all the flavour of real parmesan, and the faux ricotta had all the creaminess and use of ricotta. In my experience, from several different attempts at using, neither products match up to these expectations. The 'ricotta' is simply a mildly creamy nut spread that goes grainy if you try to mix it into sauce etc, and tastes nothing like ricotta, and the 'parmesan' is simply a dry blend of nuts and nutritional yeast that has none of the cheesy flavour or even garlic flavour it purports to have, and lacks the melting texture of the real thing. Perhaps they are convincing enough for longstanding vegans, but for anyone who actually knows what the real product tastes/feels like these are just nonsense, expensively packaged and well marketed. They are useless as substitutes in cookery. I'll use up because they have some nutritional value, but I won't repurchase.

Grown Since It's Market Days; Moreish Artisan Cheese!

I Am Nut Ok are one of my favourite artisan vegan cheese brands. I had no idea the well-loved UK-based cheese brand was on HappyCow, which is probably for the best, otherwise the app would be inundated with pictures of cheese wedges from me!

I Am Nut Ok offers cheese alternatives such as spicy cheese wedges, mature cheese wedges, buffalo cheese, grated parmesan, feta and ricotta, to name a few. I have tried numerous I Am Nut Ok products, including PapaRica Smoked Chedda, MinerThreat Smoky Charcoal, but my favourites are Oh, Grate! Grated Italian and G.O.A.T Italian herb. The grated cheese, quite understandably, has won a Great Taste Award as it is pure addiction - I can't seem to open my fridge without spooning some of this cheese into my mouth!

I Am Nut Ok can be found on several online vegan and health food shops, and I have also found Oh Grate! at a local health food shop. Their products can also be purchased directly from them through their website, where they also sell vegan crackers and chutneys from other businesses. The I Am Nut Ok website is also a great (if you pardon the pun) way to purchase and keep on top of their new and seasonal products, such as the Sage and Onion Ho, Ho, Ho Grated Cheese. I will, quite obviously, buy more products from I Am Nut Ok and look forward to the day I can buy their wedges in my local shops!

Pros: Delecious Cashew Based Cheeses, Good Limited Edition / Seasonal Ranges, Great Taste Winners

Cons: I Am Addicted

I am Nut OK

This is one of my absolute favorite cheese brands in London. I am obsessed with their “Oh, Grate!” cheese! I can eat it by the spoonful! And I most certainly have on a few occasions 😋… 😂😂😂

Others have rated it 5 stars. Maybe you need to reload the app?

I’ve done that. It’s a problem with the app. I report the issue often. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Like you mentioned on my other review, it looks like today something was updated and I can now rate 5 stars. It’s still a known issue that I frequently report, so still needs to be addressed.

Rich and indulgent

I tried the Black Truffle Nerominded and I thought it was really good! It was rich, creamy and indulgent. I had it on crackers and it was great! I also liked that it was grey in colour due to containing activated charcoal. I don't know if this affected the flavour but I just found it fun that it was an unusual colour!

Pros: Rich and indulgent cheese

Loving Minerthreat - Smoky Charcoal Cheese

We’ve been fans of I Am Nut Ok since we met them on the vegan festival circuit, and we’re thrilled to find them so local to us in Hackney!

Our favourite is Minerthreat - a smoked cheese that even our dairy eating friends love. Can’t recommend their products enough!

Pros: Vegan cheese to convert the dairy lover!

Proper Meltdown

This American Style Melting Not Cheese made from soya is grest for toasted sandwiches etc. Even just the way it comes in a cheese and pickle sandwich is a comforting treat. Like other independent vegan cheeses it's a bit on the pricey side but well worth it for occasional use.
