Cheddar Flavour will now be available at
the company’s 170 restaurants nationwide and can be added to a number of menu items.
The cheese, which is coconut oil-based and palm-oil free, has now been made permanent menu item –
after it was trialed in Victoria early this year.
Growing
demand
According to Zambrero CEO Bianca Azzopardi, the move is a response to growing demand for dairy-free options.
Commenting on the new addition, Azzopardi said: “Across the industry
we have seen
an increase in
the desire for vegan-friendly products,
not only by vegans but
also those that
are lactose intolerant and health conscious.
“We know it can be tricky
to find consistency
in plant-based alternatives, especially
that taste really
good, and we
continue to aim to position Zambrero
as the first
choice for a
healthy, vegan-friendly meal.”
