Macadamia Nut Cheese

We have tested and trialled for you this delicious cheeeesy recipe – well NUT CHEESE that is, that you can try at home and add to your next RAW Antipasti platter to impress all guests at your next get together.

Now we have to be honest, Nut Cheese does not taste like ordinary cheese. So please don’t be disappointed that the taste is not the same as that big block of cheddar you have once chomped down on, but rather appreciate the healthy deliciousness and flavoursome creation of nut cheese & give your taste buds a new sensation. Live baby live, just like Michael Hutchins said.
