Troubleshooting
- What if the fermentation time is up and I'm not home?
- What if the fermentation time is up and I'm not ready to continue with the process of the cheese (heating it, incorporating new ingredients or placing it in my mold)?
- What if I have bubbles or clear bits in my cheese mixture when using agar agar?
- What if my cheese has developed mold in the fermentation bowl?
- What if my cheese with agar agar or carrageenan didn't solidify?
- What if I want my fresh mozzarella style balls to be creamier, or firmer?
- What if my raw cashews have an off-putting smell when I open the package, or in spite of having done the fermentation process correctly my cheese has an off putting smell similar to rancid nuts?
- What if my cheese isn't fermenting?
- What if I can't find raw cashews or raw macadamia nuts?
- How do I clean my blender?
- How do I clean my pot after heating cheeses with carrageenan?
You did it!
- Final Thoughts and Tips
- The Making of Melt
This program is for you if...
- You want to learn how to make vegan cheese that tastes tangy, rich and delicious.
- You can’t consume dairy due to health reasons and miss the taste, texture and all the recipes you used to make and would like a dairy free cheese alternative that you can make right at home.
- You’re vegan and want to expand your culinary repertoire, add variety and new delicious meals to the mix, not to mention develop a whole new artisanal hobby.
- You’re a beginner cook OR an advanced cook. Vegan cheesemaking is a skill all on its own and we’ll teach you everything you need to know. No prior cooking experience required.
- No matter how you eat right now, if you're curious about developing new skills in which dairy free cheese is the main event, you'll get so much out of this course.
Who is this program not for?
- This course is not for the vegan police or the food police.
- We're all about a non-restrictive, zero judgement approach where we respect the journey each person wants to go through. We're all about inclusivity and respect for each other no matter how we eat right now.
- This course is also not for you if you don't have access to a kitchen or an internet connection.
- Most of our cheeses use cashew nuts and/or macadamia nuts, so we wouldn't recommend the course to anyone who has a nut allergy.
What you'll need
You'll need an internet connection, and a device with access to it. Our course can be enjoyed through your computer, phone, or tablet.
One must-have piece of equipment is a blender.
A high-powered or high-speed blender will make the job really easy but it isn't necessary. Any blender strong enough to blend softened cashews will do. We recommend blenders over 1400W in power.
Other tools needed are things you probably already have in your kitchen or that can be easily found in your local supermarket, kitchen supply store or online.
If at any point a video showcases a piece of equipment you don’t currently have in your kitchen, I’ll be right there to give you alternatives when possible.

Nicolien
★★★★★
“Thanks to you going vegan is so much more fun. Sometimes on the web you are so overwhelmed with info and having a place of reference and most of all the explanation of the why and why nots make this course foolproof."
Marion
★★★★★
"I just have to share this! I am making the aged Crackle Cheese and have been tasting it every week (so far 2 weeks). This morning when I tasted it I cut off a taste for my carnivore husband. His comment was "This would be a great addition to a Charcuterie board". Amazingly good cheese!"
Diane
★★★★★
"I decided to make your nachos recipe. I was a little concerned about using nutritional yeast, as I find an aftertaste with the product in some recipes, but I gave it a go. It was absolutely delicious! My family enjoyed it so much, as did I, and like you said in your video about getting requests to make them, my daughter has already requested I make them again."

"I made this (vegan cheesecake) for Christmas and it was a huge hit for both vegans and non-vegans!!!! Delicious 😋"
Housewife Obsessions
★★★★★
"This one (Venezuelan cloth cheese) was delicious!!!🤤
It looked so pretty it was almost a shame to dig in.
I know, I think it about all my vegan cheeses, but I can see this one becoming a staple.
Served with focaccia. 10/10"

Why join a course like Melt
“For years I've been trying the vegan cheese recipes that are out there and although some were good, they didn't really have the sharpness or tanginess of cheese.
Most are firmed up versions of cashew cream with additions like salt and lemon juice for flavor, which in my opinion, isn't what we're looking for when we want something cheesy.
For vegan cheese to have that cheesy flavor it needs to go through the process traditional cheesemaking takes you through.
There needs to be fermentation and culturing.
There needs to be curing and ageing for those lovely rinds to form.
I'll teach you how to become a vegan cheesemaker by taking your cheeses through a process that is very similar to what dairy-based cheeses go through, only with my own simplified method.
This also means no thermometers or multiple heatings needed.
No rejuvelac that takes days to make.
It's as easy as adding one special ingredient and following the steps to make the most delicious vegan cheese wheels that actually taste amazing."
