About Chopf Nuss

Chopf Nuss is a Swiss family business founded in 2018, based in Kindhausen, that produces vegan cheese alternatives. The two core products are Nussmesan, a savory grating cheese as an alternative to parmesan, and Nussarella, a versatile nut cream originally developed as a pizza cheese substitute. The products consist of a few natural ingredients such as cashew nuts, in some cases almonds, nutritional yeast, yeast flakes and spices, and are free of hardened fats, artificial flavors and unnecessary additives. Starting out in the company's own kitchen, more than 6 tons of Nussmesan and Nussarella are now produced per year in Switzerland; organic Nussmesan is available at around 500 retail outlets in Switzerland. With around 20 g of protein per 100 g, Nussmesan is one of the protein-rich plant-based cheese alternatives. In a comparison test by K-Tipp and Gesundheitstipp, the products were awarded test winner status. Products are sold via the company's own online shop as well as food retail.
