Artisan Vegan Blue Cheese (Cashew Roquefort)

Simply ferment cashews with Penicillium Roqueforti and age it at least 4 weeks. It tastes so good and creamy, and it’s hard to believe this Artisan Vegan Blue Cheese is not made from dairy?
I adapted this recipe and method from Full of Plants fullofplants.com/ with some other research on how to make dairy blue cheese online. Thank you so much.

I started making this Artisan Vegan Blue Cheese at about the same time I started my Cashew Camembert (in December 2019). However, it took me 3 attempts to film it, but I finally got it done and ready to share. If you are familiar with blue cheese, you’ll find it’s hard to believe that this one is not made from dairy. The Penicillium Roqueforti--the same kind discovered in southern France years ago--is the key to making it taste so good. I hope you give this a try and feel free to ask me any questions in the comments below. (I think I have done it enough times now to know most of the potential problems!)

Hello!! Where can i find the "Penicillium Roquefort" for roquefort and the one you used for the camembert??? LOVE THIS CHANNEL!

Gourmet Vegetarian Kitchen wonderful video! The Camembert turned out very nice for me, however the Blue Cheese didn’t grow mould at all. I am in the 4th attempt now, can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong.

[@GourmetVegetarianKitchen]

The mold for this cheese should be blue. It's hard to explain, but you should be able to tell if there is something bad on it. The ones I scratched off were 2 small white spots. It looked similar to the mold on camembert. It didn't look like bad mold but I like it to be all blue.

You should acknowledge that it looks like it should be done. Those penicillium could invade all your fridge if you do not keep a clean environment. The author also mentions the risk of getting the cheese contaminated. There is a lot of knowledge and care involved. One has to know that it is correct to collect so much blue mold...

You inspired me to make what I missed most while being raw vegan. I grew up with blue cheese in the home and this is so close to the taste. I tried it after one month fermentation in the fridge and didn't feel it was nearly as strong and tasty as when I was patient enough to wait 3 months before enjoying the depth of flavor. I'm allergic to mold and my nutritionist tested me to make sure this cheese was safe for me to consume. When he gave me the ok, I asked him to test me again because I was so happy but couldn't believe it was true. I have made this recipe many times for over a year and love it every time. This is my treat after a hard days work. I am now venturing on to making the cheddar. Thank you so much, God Bless you for sharing :)

I feel like it's breathable and compostable, and I always have it. I never thought about the aluminum paper before. 3.) I like to age it for about 2 weeks in the fridge.

I loved blue cheese but I think I couldn’t eat that🙈 that’s too much mold and I kind of don’t trust myself enough to do it safely. But the white mold on the Camembert looked less intimidating so I’ll try that. Can I make the cheese more creamier by adding more oil?

[@GourmetVegetarianKitchen]

I know what you mean about the mold, but you really can tell if it's bad mold. I have not tried adding oil into Camembert, but I'm sure it will make it creamier. There is coconut oil in this blue cheese recipe and it does help make it very creamy!

I really don't know anything about fungi like this p. Roqueforti. But I do know that certain "foodsave" fungi can be completely save on some foods, while being toxic on others. I don't know if you checked if this combination is save. It is a pretty cool idea, but I would be a bit scared. Our almighty wikipedia says: Considerable evidence indicates that most strains are capable of producing harmful secondary metabolites (alkaloids and other mycotoxins) under certain growth conditions.[22][23][24][25]Aristolochene is a sesquiterpenoid compound produced by P. roqueforti, and is likely a precursor to the toxin known as PR toxin, made in large amounts by the fungus.[26] PR-toxin has been implicated in incidents of mycotoxicoses resulting from eating contaminated grains.[24][27] However, PR toxin is not stable in cheese and breaks down to the less toxic PR imine.[28] I don't know if the casheys behave like dairy or grains in this proces. Has anyone with more knowledge on this topic than me checked this? I am not trying to attack you. It is a pretty creative idea and the crumbled one looks really yummy. I just don't want people to get sick.

Never stop making videos please

[@wusnheilus]

Wonderful, congrats!! I told the groups "Wholefood Plantbased Nutrition"(Michael Greger-Group) and "Cashewbert cheesemaking group" about this gem ...

[@GourmetVegetarianKitchen]

Thank you so much!

Danke für dieses sehr Informative Video wie man Veggie Blauschimmelkäse herstellt. Sehr schön.

[@ecoclubglobal5472]

Looks so much like the real thing omg

[@Heyblomharvest]

😍 this is fascinating! I’ve been making cultured vegan cheeses and other cultured foods for years but I’ve never found and recipes for an authentic blue cheese which is one I truely miss and dream about. Your video is satisfying in so many ways!!! I love to see the daily process of the bacteria growing and creating what we know and love, but coupled with the music and not being tainted by audible discussion, and the colours and aesthetic of your cinematography, I’m your new biggest fan 😍🤓 🤤

[@GourmetVegetarianKitchen]

Thank you so much for your kind comment and support!

[@gacrespi]

hey how do you know the mold is not dangerous? is there a risk? i dont know anything about cheese and ageing then

[@GourmetVegetarianKitchen]

This blue mold is safe to eat, and from what I research, it's healthy. you might find this article helpful www.foodandwine.com/lifestyle/why-dont-we-get-sick-when-we-eat-moldy-blue-cheese

[@melanie-rosannastevens7861]

[@nadernoori]

Thank you for the amazing recipe! Six weeks of aging created an amazing blue cheese which could easily pass the blind test.

[@tinekejoldersma]

Mmmmmm delicious. Still have to laugh about the molt comments. Cheese usually has poo and intestins in it to ripe. Give me this lovely roque for cashew cheese anytime. Looked so delicious.

[@GourmetVegetarianKitchen]

Thank you so much!

[@theodore738]

tineke joldersma not sure where you’re getting the ‘poo and intestines’ idea from. Please keep your ignorance to yourself

[@ambycakes]

yea as a cheese maker that's far from the truth.

[@theodore738]

tineke joldersma I do have to agree this cashew cheese does look delicious!

[@lucilamougan7236]

Thank you so so much for sharing your recipes. You are kind of an artist ... Looking forward to making this cheese at home. 🙏✨

[@socksaisillesofargoz]

Vegan brie cheese please? Its the only cheese I miss!

[@GourmetVegetarianKitchen]

I'm not sure when, but please check back!

[@MaikaRose]

omg yes!

[@sofiateixeira1933]

Yes yes yes !!

[@vopaulinka]

There’s vegan camembert on this channel, imo its no big diffrence..

[@MaikaRose]

@@vopaulinka true, but there is a difference in taste. Some people don't like the bitterness of the camembert.

[@yulgapopova6655]

greetings from Russia! i didn't expect that blue cheese may be plant based. thank you!!!!

[@GourmetVegetarianKitchen]

You are welcome, and yes, we can make plant-based blue cheese!

[@waltergrkovic1542]

This looks amazing. 2 questions. Where do yo get the penicillium roqueforti and you don't have to crumble it do you , you can just keep doing the same process every day right?

[@GourmetVegetarianKitchen]

I use 2 methods to create air pockets: one is to crumble and reshape it. The other one is to poke it. After that, just flip it once a day until the mold covers all the cheese and move it to the fridge. Here is the written recipe and instructions

[@milecavalieri3961]

amazinnnnggG!! i love these videos of u making vegan cheese and aging them!

[@GourmetVegetarianKitchen]

Thank you so much!

[@dewiindahmiranti7641]

Vegan parmesan cheese please? ;)

[@GourmetVegetarianKitchen]

I love parmesan, and have been researching on how to make it for a while, but it's very complicated. However, I'm not giving up yet. I'll share it as soon as I can make it happen!

[@marcosconosciuto832]

Is impossible

[@DeTurquoise]

They do it from gourmet yeast + cashew and mixed!!!

[@incibakrl5504]

they sell it here in turkey, how is it not in your country yet

[@chrisbugel7222]

I live in France and I'm trying to go vegan but is so hard ... I love love cheese Thanks so much

[@Helvetorment]

Dont do it. Embrace your traditions, follow the trail of your ancestors.

Excellent ! Thank you for sharing :)

[@GourmetVegetarianKitchen]

you're welcome and thank you so much!

[@pL4571k]

Looks yummy. Does it melt when in room temp or heated up?

[@GourmetVegetarianKitchen]

It doesn't melt like dairy cheese, but soft enough to spread when heated.

[@basscanon6687]

i was just looking for a vegan blue cheese recipe! thank you so much for this!

[@GourmetVegetarianKitchen]

You're welcome. I'm so glad you found what you were looking for!

[@sofiaconti4215]

Just One question: in my country is impossible to get the penicilum. So is it possible to make the cheese with a crust of another blue cheese? Thanks a lot

[@josei.g.1149]

Sofia Conti it is, although it wouldn’t be 100% if the cheese that you’re scraping its not vegan

[@GourmetVegetarianKitchen]

I heard some people do that but I have never done it myself, so I can't tell you for sure.

[@kdvr766]

@@josei.g.1149 this isnt even cheese in the 1st place so...

Speechless

[@a-roh5039]

I tried making the camembert, and I'm so bummed because on day 6 or so, it started growing non-white mold. I followed everything to a T and I'm so disappointed. I really want to try again, but I don't know what to change to get a better result besides maybe trying a different probiotic brand.

[@b2h316]

It's likely it got contaminated. You need to sterilize everything that is going to come in contact with it

[@GourmetVegetarianKitchen]

It happened to me when I tried making it with cashew pulp I saved from making cashew milk. I'm positive that my problem came from not having enough fat in the cashew pulp. I don't know about changing probiotics though. I hope you don't give up!

[@GourmetVegetarianKitchen]

Another thing I can think of is try to keep it away from other kinds of fermented food.

[@Crystal-vp7wr]

Also be careful of you emotional state. Try and be positive and only let good words be spoken around it. Most people don’t realize but food particularly the water in the food reacts to words and emotions. If you’re angry I noticed mold especially black mold grows very fast. This might sound crazy to some but every time my step father in law visits all my fresh food ends up having black mold on it and even my home made baby wipes and I put witch hazel and other ingredients that shouldn’t allow mold to grow but He is a very selfish and rude man and that’s the only difference in my home and within 3 days all my food in my fridge has gone bad🤷🏼‍♀️ so try and even speak positive emotions to it and don’t stress around it.
