Plant-based cheese brand finds new home
Plant-based cheese brand Palace Culture is expected to secure new retail listings in the UK following its acquisition by food manufacturer The Compleat Food Group. Palace Culture is currently stocked in independent shops and distributors including Whole Foods and Abel & Cole.
The alt cheese company was founded in 2018 by Mirko Parmigiani, who wanted to make plant-based cheeses for his dairy intolerant son. Since then, Palace Culture has won multiple Great Taste Awards, including for its Kimcheee and The Mouldy Goaty. Other dairy-free cheeses in the range include the Sacre Blue and Holy Smokes.
Now a member of The Compleat Food Group stable, Palace Culture joins other brands Pork Farms, Wall’s Pastry, unearthed, Wrights, and Vadasz. “Palace Culture was a natural choice to add to our portfolio of leading and distinctive brands that always bring something unique to the table, due to its high quality, exciting product offering and potential for growth,” said Yvonne Adam, Chief Marketing Officer at The Compleat Food Group.
“All of this supports our wider strategy and ambition to become the UK’s No. 1 chilled prepared food company.”
From Parmigiani’s perspective, he is looking forward to using The Compleat Food Group’s expertise to continue to innovate and introduce ‘even more people’ to the world of plant-based vegan cheeses.
