The base for all meltable cheeses like Nozzarella, Munster, Havarti, Tuscany, Black Pepper-Truffle, and Smoked Gouda is organic soymilk from our own production.

The base for fermented cheeses like Chevre, Blue Cheese, and Black Velvet is cashews.

The base for Feta and Gorgonzola is premium tofu.

The base for Cream Cheese and Marinated Feta is a blend of cashews and tofu.

Yes, all our cheeses are completely gluten-free.

All our hard cheeses can be frozen. Due to the water content of non-fermented cheeses, the texture will change slightly during freezing, but the taste remains exactly the same. Therefore, we suggest only freezing cheeses that you plan to melt later on pizzas, grilled sandwiches, etc. However, for the best quality, we recommend consuming our cheeses within one week.

Yes, our hard cheeses and Camemvert melt and brown beautifully. However, vegan cheese requires a slightly higher melting point. For best results, grate the cheese, drizzle a little oil on top, cover with aluminum foil, and expose to high heat in the oven or grill.

Vegan cheeses naturally release moisture during the first few days after production. To extend their shelf life, wrap the cheese in kitchen paper towel to absorb the water, and change the towel whenever it gets wet during the first 3 days. Stored in an airtight container, the cheese will stay fresh for around 10 days. Our fermented Chevre has a shelf life of up to 2 months and develops a deeper flavor over time.

Our vegan cheeses are sensitive and fragile. Over the years, we have tested various packaging alternatives, including banana leaves, paper boxes, woven baskets, and wax paper, but all were sub-optimal. The cheeses dried out too quickly, or the moisture soaked into the paper, making it sticky and easily torn. To stay fresh, our cheese requires a water-resistant, airtight environment. Using durable plastic boxes is currently the best solution to ensure premium freshness, and the containers can be fully reused!

The chemical composition of soymilk and its structural behavior make it the perfect base for replicating traditional dairy cheese. It emulsifies beautifully, allowing us to achieve the perfect texture. We source our soybeans organically and locally right here in Bali. Soy farming is highly sustainable and far less resource-intensive than nut farming, which allows us to offer our artisanal cheeses at a fair and reasonable price.

There is a lot of confusion and false information about soy out there. Many studies have shown that soy and soy milk are very healthy choices, particularly as a nutrient-dense alternative to dairy. However, because soy contains isoflavones (a type of plant estrogen), it has been the subject of debate. Here is the breakdown of the current scientific consensus:

The “Good” (Why it’s beneficial):

Complete Protein
Soy is one of the few plant-based sources that provides a “complete” protein profile, meaning it contains all nine essential amino acids your body cannot make on its own.
Heart Health
Unlike cow’s milk, soymilk is naturally cholesterol-free and low in saturated fat. Numerous studies suggest that replacing dairy with soy can help lower LDL (“bad”) cholesterol.
Nutrient-Dense
Most commercial soymilks are fortified with Calcium, Vitamin D, and B12, making them nutritionally comparable to dairy milk.
Isoflavones
These plant compounds have potent antioxidant properties and have been linked to a reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases.

The “Bad” (Things to watch out for):

Added Sugars
Many commercial “Original” or “Vanilla” soymilks contain significant amounts of added cane sugar. Choosing “Unsweetened” is the best way to keep it healthy (at Oh Cheezes, we do not add any sugar to our production).
Thyroid Interference
If you have a thyroid condition, high amounts of soy can sometimes interfere with how your body absorbs thyroid medication. It is usually perfectly fine to consume, but it is best to wait a few hours after taking your medication. Please consult your doctor.
The Estrogen Myth
There was a long-standing fear that the phytoestrogens in soy could cause hormonal issues or increase breast cancer risk. Current research shows the opposite: moderate soy consumption can even be protective against certain types of cancer and does not negatively affect testosterone levels.

Conclusion:

Unless you have a specific soy allergy or a medical condition requiring strict hormonal monitoring, soymilk is a fantastic, heart-healthy, and sustainable option.
