Kerrymaid has launched Perfect Melt Vegan Slices, a plant-based alternative to cheese.
Aimed solely at professional kitchens, the new product allows foodservice operators to offer a tasty dairy alternative to the growing number of consumers who demand vegan options.
Therese O’Rourke, chief technology officer, RD&A, Kerry Taste & Nutrition, Europe & Russia claimed that Kerrymaid Vegan Slices beat its competitors in taste tests and mouth feel. The product is made from a roll like original cheese slices which means it’s more malleable than existing vegan cheeses which tend to be made from a block and can be quite brittle.
The product is specifically for use on hot applications such as burgers, subs, wraps and sandwiches.
Karl Buiks, VP foodservice, marketing & strategic planning, Kerry Taste & Nutrition, Europe & Russia, said: “We’re always listening to our customers as well as researching and predicting trends amongst consumers. The rising trend in plant-based eating habits has created a massive consumer demand within the food market and Kerrymaid’s Vegan Slices is the perfect solution for foodservice operators to step up their vegan game.”
Made from sustainable coconut oil, the Vegan Slices are gluten free, palm oil free and Vegan approved by the Vegetarian Society. The product will soon be available across the UK in pack sizes of 56 easy-peel slices.
