Most traditional cheese is set with animal rennet, which is why finding good vegetarian cheese takes more than reading the front of the label.

Everything here is made with non-animal rennet. It is a genuinely wide range — farmhouse wheels, soft mould-ripened cheeses and blues among them — so a vegetarian cheeseboard needs no apology.

If you are building a board for mixed company, tell us and we will make sure the vegetarian options are clearly separated when we pack it.
