FAQ

Yeti Foods is a maker of plant-based cheese that tastes amazing and is great for you and the planet. Our first cheese is called Yeti No. 1.

We like keeping it simple. We only use soybeans, sunflower oil, water and salt.

Yes, we only use plant-based ingredients.

We use the same process dairy-based cheese makers have been using for thousands of years. First, we make milk from the soybeans. Then, we coagulate the milk and put the resulting curds into cheese forms. Next, we press the curds. When the pressing is done, we remove the cheese from the form and salt it. Finally, we ripen it. Read more about our process here.

Our first and currently only cheese, Yeti No. 1, is a soft white cheese that has a creamy texture. It has a mild, slightly acidic taste. If you need to compare it to more known varieties, we would put it somewhere between a Ricotta and a Feta.

Yeti No. 1 is super versatile. We love to crumble it and put it into our salad. Or use it to make a cheesy and creamy pasta sauce. You can also go simple and just eat it with a piece of fresh bread and some olive oil. If you're a sandwich lover, why not try it out in your sandwich or bagel? We're sure that there are more creative ways to eat Yeti Cheese - surprise us!

We guarantee that Yeti No. 1 keeps its texture and taste for at least 1 week after you've bought it.

While Yeti Cheese is better enjoyed fresh, it's absolutely possible to put your cheese in the freezer to eat it at a later point in time. In our experience, it tastes just as good after it has come out of the freezer.

You can order Yeti Cheese online here. If you're in Berlin you can buy it at our shop in Kreuzberg or at Dr. Pogo in Neukölln.

We make a fresh batch every week and ship on Thursdays. It then takes 2-3 days to arrive.

Shipping costs € 7 within Germany and € 13 for all other countries. We ship for free if you order 6 or more cheeses for Germany, and 10 or more cheeses for all others. Shipping costs include insulation material and cooling packs.

It depends on the amount you buy. Get in touch with us and we'll have a look.

Yeti Cheese is healthier for you than animal-based cheese. Yeti Cheese contains soybean proteins which are complete proteins, meaning that they contain all essential amino acids that your body needs. It has similarly high protein levels as dairy-based cheese. Compared to animal-based cheese, Yeti Cheese contains less saturated fats and zero cholesterol. Furthermore, it contains a lot of minerals such as calcium, phosphorus and magnesium.

However, keep in mind that cheese is still cheese and not a kale salad.

No, it's not true. The soybean plant is one of the most environmental-friendly plants ever. Compared to other plants, it doesn't need a lot of water or land area. Furthermore, it can grow in many different parts of world (unlike cashew, almond or coconut). It also fixes nitrogen to the soil, meaning that farmers need to use less fertilizer.

The dairy lobby is pushing the narrative that soy is bad for the environment. The problem is that a lot of soy is used as animal food. In fact, more than 85% of the soybean that is grown is used as such. Therefore, soybean is often wrongly associated with having a negative environmental impact and being responsible for deforestation.

We source our soy directly from the farm Biohof Lex in Bavaria, Germany.

We source our sunflower oil directly from the farm Weinmannshof in Bavaria, Germany.

All our ingredients are organic, but we are not yet certified as organic.

No, we don't use genetically modified ingredients.
