Brad Vanstone (Sc/Ab. 2004-09), Deputy Head of School and Head of Abraham House 2008-2009, recently founded a plant based cheese company based in Amsterdam. Brad uses a variety of nut and tofu bases to create similar flavours and textures to conventional dairy cheese.
This was perhaps not the most obvious path for the grandchild of a West Country dairy farmer. However, his entrepreneurial skills have developed since selling coca-cola cans and sweets to fellow boarders at Brighton College in his teenage years!
Brad is currently selling at markets, into health stores, and to a spread of restaurants across Amsterdam. He plans to perfect his production, recipes and broaden his distribution for the rest of the year before targeting supermarkets and a more permanent production facility in 2019.
His plant based cheese is not yet available in the UK but Brad assures us this will have changed by next year.
