About The Company

Honestly Tasty is a British company established in 2018 and produces artisan alternatives to dairy cheese, aiming to create a sustainable and profitable business. It all started in the founder’s granny’s kitchen until it progressed to a much larger production, but it still remains a family affair, with family members joining to run the show. Starting with one cheese only, Honestly Tasty now offers a range of authentic cheese alternatives, which can be found both online and in-store.
