Nut 'cheeses' are made by blending nuts such as cashews with water into a smooth paste, souring it with lactic acid bacteria and, for Camembert-style rounds, growing a white mould rind. They copy the steps of a soft cheese, but no milk is used. The process numbers here come from one study of cashew Camembert analogues.

Nut 'cheeses' are made by blending nuts such as cashews with water into a smooth paste, souring it with lactic acid bacteria and, for Camembert-style rounds, growing a white mould rind. They copy the steps of a soft cheese, but no milk is used. The process numbers here come from one study of cashew Camembert analogues. Made in 4 steps over 14 days. The longest step, ripen cool, turning, then salt on day 4, takes 14 days (Fabiszewska A 2024) and runs at 12 °C (Fabiszewska A 2024). Lactic starters and Rind moulds Penicillium camemberti or Geotrichum candidum do most of the fermenting.
It follows a Camembert's steps (souring, moulding, salting, white rind) but the base is a nut paste, not milk curd, so there is no rennet, no curd and no whey.
Flaxseed oil cake Camembert analogueFlaxseed oil cake fermented with lactic bacteria, Penicillium camemberti and Geotrichum candidum for 24 h at room temperature, stored 14 days at 12 °C and matured 14 days at 6 °C (Łopusiewicz 2020).
Soaked and fermented cheese-like nut productNuts soaked with lactic starters and no mould rind; in a lab study the best consortium took pH below 4.4 in 18 h instead of 48 h (Tabanelli 2024).
Safety
A survey of retail cashew cheese analogues in Brazil found no Salmonella, coagulase-positive staphylococci or E. coli, but found Bacillus cereus in one sample and Cronobacter malonaticus. Most samples carried high mould and yeast counts, likely from fermentation and ripening. In a separate lab challenge test of a soaked, fermented nut product (no mould rind), the best lactic consortium brought the pH below 4.4 in 18 h instead of 48 h, and Listeria monocytogenes added at 5 log CFU/g was absent after seven days. E. coli and Salmonella Enteritidis lasted longer, especially during fermentation and early storage, and soaking the nuts at 85 °C for 10 minutes cut but did not fully kill pathogens added to them (Tabanelli 2024). So neither the hot soak nor souring is shown to make contaminated nuts safe; start with clean nuts.
Hazards the sources name: Bacillus cereus (found in one retail sample) and Cronobacter malonaticus.
The 2024 study (Fabiszewska) begins from a growing demand for vegan and plant-based food. It was not the first attempt at a plant-based Camembert. In 2020 Łopusiewicz and colleagues made a Camembert analogue from flaxseed oil cake with lactic bacteria, Penicillium camemberti and Geotrichum candidum. The 2024 authors call their paper the first to describe plant-based Camembert formulations made by mimicking the milk product's technique, and tested cashew, pistachio and a cashew, soy flour and spirulina mix. In 2024 Tabanelli and colleagues published a guided lactic fermentation for a cheese-like nut product.
