Armoured Fresh’s rich & well melting vegan cheese with kimchi fermentation
According to creator and CEO Rudy Yoo in an interview with vegconomist. “Armoured Fresh’s vegan cheese is manufactured by fermenting almond milk using a process that includes plant based probiotics obtained from kimchi.
As a result the cheese is similar to genuine cheese in flavour and tanginess. The texture and melting characteristics of dairy cheese have been precisely matched by this method, giving the finished product the idea mouthfeel.
This process, in contrast to typical dairy cheese, drastically lowers the saturated fat level and completely removes cholesterol, making the cheese not only a healthier choice but also simpler to digest.
For individuals who enjoy cheese made from animal products, Armoured Fresh’ vegan cheese might be a fantastic substitute. With this approach, cholesterol is eliminated and saturated fat level is greatly decreased.
Taste, cost, and nutrition are the three mail factors in food. Depending on the flavour and cost in relation to cheese made from animal products, consumers have high expectations for cheese.
Consumers are likely to stop buying animal-based cheese if these expectations are realised. says Yoo. The company’s experts created a cutting-edge, precise blend of milk, lactic acid, vitamins, and plant based protein.
The same steps are used to make plant based cheese as they are to make natural cheese. First, plant based milk is cultured, followed by fermentation, heating, sterilising, packing, and chilling.
This enable the firm to create cheese using Aroma Compounds such lactic acid, peptone, and peptides that has a similar flavour and feel to dairy cheese.
