Enjoy the tangy, briny flavor of vegan feta, a plant-based alternative perfect for salads, pizzas, and Mediterranean-inspired dishes. Crafted from ingredients like tofu, nuts, or coconut oil, this dairy-free cheese offers a delightful crumbly texture and savory taste.

Storage Time

Typically lasts 7-10 days once opened when stored properly in the refrigerator. Unopened, it can last until the 'best by' date.

Temperature

Always keep refrigerated at or below 4°C (40°F) to maintain optimal freshness and safety.

Freezing

Yes, vegan feta can be frozen to extend its shelf life, though texture may change slightly upon thawing. For best results, drain any excess brine, wrap the block or crumbles tightly in plastic wrap, then place in a freezer-safe bag or airtight container. Thaw slowly in the refrigerator overnight before use. Frozen vegan feta may become a bit softer or more crumbly, making it ideal for cooked dishes rather than fresh applications.

Signs of Spoilage

• Unpleasant, sour, or rancid odor.
• Visible mold growth (any color other than the intended white or off-white).
• Slimy or sticky texture.
• Significant discoloration or darkening.
