Agrocorp International, a Singapore-based global agrifood supplier and parent company of the plant-based brand HerbYvore, has launched HerbY-Cheese — the first vegan cheese range developed in Singapore that mimics dairy cheese.
In 2021, Agrocorp launched its HerbYvore brand in Singapore, debuting a vegan paneer made with pea protein processed at the company’s Canadian factory. Now, as part of Singapore’s “30 by 30” goals to produce local sustainable foods, Agrocorp received support from the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) and Enterprise Singapore to develop the new products.
The cheeses were produced and tested at SIT’s subsidiary, FoodPlant, to carry out small-batch production for pilot testing of local markets before large-scale manufacturing begins, reports Straits Times.
The new range — Just Like Parme, HerbY-Cheese Mozzarella, and HerbY-Cheese Cheddar — said to melt and grate like dairy cheese, is made with peas to offer a nut and soy-free alternative. HerbY-Cheese is available on HerbYvore’s website, Green Butchery’s online store, The Green Collective SG, and Everyday Vegan Grocer.
