We are excited to welcome Alice Fauconnet, the founder of New Roots, a highly successful vegan cheese-making company, to our platform. Alice’s story is inspiring, starting with an experiment in her kitchen to satisfy her craving for cheese after going vegan. She and her partner, Fred’s passion for cheese-making led them to create a high-quality, artisanal product now sold in many stores across Switzerland and beyond. Alice’s commitment to ethical veganism and her passion for creating delicious plant-based alternatives have made her a well-respected figure in the vegan food industry.

Alice’s success in the vegan cheese market is due to her and Fred’s dedication to the traditional artisanal process of fermenting and ripening cheese. She believes this process sets her company apart from others in the industry.
