Kinda Co.
Initially a one-woman enterprise, founded by Ellie Brown in October 2017, Kinda Co. is a London-based vegan cheese producer. Kinda Co. has been named as The Seed Fund’s 2019 champion, picking up the award at the Great Taste Golden Fork Dinner. The Seed Fund prize caps off a remarkable two years in business for the lifelong cheese fan, which began with her switch to veganism and the struggle to find enjoyable plant-based alternatives. Having encountered issues with texture, taste, aroma and digestion along the way, Ellie took to the kitchen to create her own vegan cheeses. Two years later, Kinda Co. now offers nine nut-based products, including Fetainspired Greek Style cubes, a ‘cheesy’ Nacho Dip made with cashews and a Cheddar-esque Farmhouse block.
