“Consumers tell us they really love the taste and texture.” According to Bel UK, it’s hoped that the new product will persuade the 58 percent of shoppers who rarely, or never, buy plant-based cheese to give it a go.

But as more and more people move away from dairy, there is rapidly growing demand for dairy-free versions of much-loved classics. The new product joins a wide range of diverse and high-quality plant-based cheeses available to buy for the festive season. Honestly Tasty, for example, offers a big selection, including plant-based takes on camembert, blue, and brie.
Some supermarkets, including M&S, also do vegan Christmas cheese selections. The new Boursin product can be enjoyed as part of a Christmas cheese board. Holidays aside, it can work well in pasta dishes, on a bagel, or as a dip, according to Bel UK.
Boursin Plant-Based will be available to buy from November 18 and will cost £2.99. Read more: Cathedral City Launches New Vegan Cheese Flavor.
