VEGAN CHEESE NEWS: Miyoko’s Kitchen cheeses are hitting select NorCal retailers!

Hey hey, Bay Area cheese lovers! Fantastic news: Miyoko Schinner’s cheese line, Miyoko’s Kitchen, is now available IN RETAIL ESTABLISHMENTS! It’s true, you can pick up this fine, artisanal vegan product at select Northern California Whole Foods Markets, Republic of VRainbow Grocery and Good Earth Natural Foods. Because of the success of the online sales, the plan is to expand into more West Coast retailers, restaurants, and then of course the world at large.*  

I have yet to try any of her cheeses; anticipation is running high! December means a trip to the Bay to celebrate the holidays with family, so fingers crossed the Redwood City Whole Foods has these babies in stock when I get to town. If it should happen my cheeses are not on the shelves, there are now like three trillion startups in the Bay, where I can get people riding unicorns to hand deliver anything I want, right? [apparently so]

Our Caroline recently tried Miyoko’s cheeses, so naturally I grilled her for information. I adore vegan cheeses (shout-out to my first loveFYH soy mozzarella) and I needed answers. You understand. Caroline told me her absolute fave was the Aged English Smoked Farmhouse, and that she was “super-impressed by the textures. All the flavors were on point. I wasn’t sure what to expect so I can honestly say my mind was blown.” High praise from a trusty source. OOoooOOOoo, and it looks like Megan and Meave had a little party over in Brooklyn—DANG IT, I CAN’T WAIT TO JUMP ON THIS TRAIN! I detest being left behind!

Living the dream.

One more thing: I thought I’d have to go to the trouble of figuring out wine pairings but check it: it’s already been done! Thank goodness because I don’t really know anything about wine pairing, I just know about wine enjoying. Oh man, I am so great at that part. 

*Or at least, according to the press release, nationwide and Australia.
