Fake Cheese Test - Nurishh Plant-Based Alternative to Camembert

This guy is full of dad knowledge (stuff you didn’t think you were interested in knowing until you hear him say it) I also find these videos help me enjoy the smaller things in life, ordinarily I would just walk through a park and not think twice about what the small plants are now I’m literally and figuratively stopping to smell the roses .. 26 going on 66

Would be interested in seeing a follow up to this, someone said they wanna see how it melts and i want to see how it ripens! :)

I love how blunt and to the point UK package labeling is. It's like there's a no BS law or something. Not really the case in the US unfortunately

As a lactose intolerant person I am deeply intrigued by vegan dairy. Yes, I am aware that a lot of cheeses are very low in lactose and that there are pills you can take, but if I can avoid lactose entirely that's even better. I hope the science continues to improve. I've had some really good, almost convincing vegan cheeses, and I've had some truly abhorrent vegan cheeses.

As someone who is lactose intolerant, I appreciate plant based alternatives like this. I'm glad more are becoming available.

I really appreciate how you are somewhat objective in these reviews, and even when you're subjective you are polite. "Non vegan reviewing vegan foods" sounds like a nightmare to watch, but you make it work.

I was wondering how it melts. Camambert is fantastic used in cooking (a family recipe is a camambert-pear puff pastry with grison dried meat), often alternatives start to break down in comparison with temperature changes.

Excellent review! Yes, it definitely tastes better if you leave it at room temperature for a few hours. The longer it matures the better.This product is made in France and we all know how good French cheeses taste. For those who are lactose intolerant, this cheese is a godsend. Also, push some garlic cloves into it and bake it in the oven and it tastes absolutley delicious!

Thank you for this! My wife can't eat dairy due to lactose intolerance, and she used to love baked camembert with bread, you've convinced her to pick some up and try it. 👍

As a vegan of 3 years, I really appreciate your objectivism and honesty when reviewing these products.

As a vegan, I'm very happy to see the increasing quality (and quantity) of plant-based cheeses. It is easier than ever before to be vegan, and I am grateful that I get to be vegan in this era rather than, say, 20 years ago.

Despite it being 2 AM for me, still got to be here early. Love the videos man

"Why is he buttering crackers"? Why didn't he "salt his soup"? Ahh, folks, it's because he is Atomic Shrimp, he is awesome and he does what he wants! (or doesn't as he don't want) 😜

That's a brand we can get on the continent too. I've only had their shredded product and their Gouda product. Both were slightly floury in texture but it wasn't bad. The taste and smell was fine. It said it would be great for pizza but it was really bad. It turned into a slime that was gunking up your mouth. Out of curiosity I then put it in a pan and let the proteins curdle like making a parmesan cracker. The parts that went crispy were bitter and the parts that didn't had a texture almost like those chewable caramel sweets. From that point on I used the rest only in cold sandwiches and it was quite nice.

It's 4 AM here in Argentina, but I feel like watching this before going to sleep since I'm so early.

Thanks for another great video! Really been enjoying your content, wishing you the best

Thank you, I did not know about this. Well demonstrated as always.

I didn't know this existed, I have been noticing the dairy free alternatives to my favourite cheese on the shelves and have been considering giving them a try, I follow a mostly dairy free diet so it makes sense for me to try to make it completely dairy free. I will be looking for this one and will try more dairy free cheeses too, thanks !

Looks a lot like the camembert from my local supermarket. It's often not nearly ripe enough, and too mild. Seems like they've done as good a job as they can though. Thanks for the review.

i just saw this in the supermarket for the first time today! had to come back and double check that i’d seen the thumbnail right-is the same one! very pleased with my purchase. watching this video inspired me to go have a bite :)

I love these plant based reviews

Worth a try, thanks for trying it and reporting. It helps in decision making.Good video

I've found that fake cheese that doesn't try/pretend to be a real cheese is always better. The ones that just advertise themselves as a vegan alternative to cheese, instead of the ones that advertise themselves to totally taste like the real deal! Edit: I just want to point out that I'm not vegan or vegetarian. I enjoy exploring vegan options of things, and if it turns out a vegan alternative is more than acceptable I stick with it to try and do my part.

Ooh I didn’t know Naturli had crossed the pond, glad to see you enjoy it!!

Just had this and I love it

I love hearing M. Shrimp crunching! Very authentic.

I love the extra funky outro music. :)

Just tried this today on a whim. Really tasty, totally like a regular camambert. Wanted to see what others said. Cool vid.

Thanks for doing my research for me 😛 I'm gonna go and get some of this, now!

Great video. Thank you.

I just bought this yesterday in Sweden! I loved it

Loving this series! As a vegan who cook for a meat eating family it's good to know what alternatives are better from another perspective!

That Odds and Ends pickle looks more delicious each time it makes an appearance.

I'm vegy and slowly going vegan. Finsing cheese replacements has been basically impossible and the review you've given this is far more positive than anything I've tried so far.

I wonder if it's primarily for melting, would be interesting to see if you could bake it. Or if ripening works as you suggested.

'It doesn't fall out of the sky' No, but jeez I wish it did.

quality content, as usual

Splendid.

I had fun watching this and also learnt that cheese doesn't fall from the sky

Would definitely want to see results after ripening! Might try it myself!

Haven’t seen this sold in the US. Looks pretty great! My experience with vegan cheese has been very disappointing so I’d love to try this!

Great video as usual, just a thought, when you are doing these plant based comparisons could you actually do a side by side ie get in some real cheese and taste/test (let them ripen or cook with them) both together? Thank you.

As someone who WOULD 100% eat this, “plant based alternative to Camembert” is still such a “festive nutrient cylinder” kind of name!

I can't tell you if it ripens in the same way for sure, but I can tell you I've bought this before and it was certainly softer than that.

YUM!!! I want it!! 😍 Thanks!! As a vegan newly subscribed to your I love your review

I will have to try it, I love cheese, but I have lactose intolerance, thanks for taste test.

Thanks for your alternative dairy products review. I am not vegan either; I love cows milk cheese, but as I have crohns disease it is hard for me to digest very much of it. Some of the alternatives are nice, if they don't have gums or starches. We have found a lovely product here in America called "Cultured vegan cream cheese". It is made by Miyoko's creamery from cashews.

I didn't think much of this 'raw' but it is very convincing when you bake it with oil and garlic!

I love naturli on crusty bread, it reminds me of lurpak. And that no dairy cheese looks good too 🍃🧀 🍃

I’m in a lot of vegan groups and when this cheese first came out so many people seemed to hate it and I’ve tried a lot of awful vegan cheeses so I never bothered trying it, this review and the comments saying it’s not bad have convinced me to finally give it a try😂would definitely be intrigued by a ripened version of this review (I’ve been a vegan for years and didn’t even know you could ripen vegan cheese) and a baked version

I like it, very tasty!

I tested it in a burger, when it's melted it's so good. I'd also recommend eating it this way

I grew up on a dairy farm, I became lactose intolerant as an adult. I don't know what I like to eat other than dairy. Good video 👍

I also try the funk plant based milks when they are in sale for almost being past the sell by date. I had gotten on based on sunflower oil. I literally could never tell it was not milk. Had four different people try and they didn't notice anything off about it and thought it was just milk as well. I think for dairy the sunflower oil is where it's at.

My understanding is that you're not looking to head towards a Vegan or Plant Based diet, but I really appreciate how open minded you've been towards trying products like this.

What happens if it's left out for a day like you would a normal cheese? I wonder if it stays firm or goes runny.

I really liked this one ! It’s funny how in France the company had to change the product’s name because the dairy industry does its best to prevent these products from being sold.

Really interesting

I looove that vegan butter. I have to eat dairy free and I really don't miss butter with it. The coconut oil had me worried. I've had daiya cheese before that had it and i liked that (unfortunately not sold in the uk anymore) but otherwise i think it is really prominent in vegan cheeses. Really looking forward to trying this one after your review 😊

Found you're channel in lockdown now utterly obsessed,it's my Saturday and Sunday morning ritual to watch your latest uploads! I know your a fan of your local polish supermarket, Lidl are doing an Eastern European week of specials,would that be something you might try? I wonder with Lidl being as European supermarket they would stay pretty true to the food but I wonder if there is a difference between comparable items that are imported and those that are packaged and created for Lidl?

Mmmmmmmm. Sounds delicious.

Nothing beats a bit of cheese and pickles

I'm going to see if they have this in Pillars of Hercules farm shop, they have a great selection like everything else moderation. Nice to have something different as I eat a lot of cheese, this is something else to try as an alternative. Being plant-based I guess it's slightly better on saturated fats than real cheese.

Well it does has ferment in it so time is only going to make it softer I’d assume?

If you are ever thinking about merch I would buy an atomic shrimp nutmeg grinder in a flash👍

I like when people aprroach vegan products with an open mind like this :) I am not a vegan either, but I find myself buying more and more vegan products as they become available. Simply because I like them better or equally. For example, I use the same butter as you have there. I can't tell the difference (for most applications), it's cheaper than regluar butter here, and it's much better for the environment :) It is sad to see those people who have a sort of "vegan rasism" and just outright refuse to touch anything that says "vegan" on it.

Looks interesting 🤔

I'm going to taste it a little bit just on its own.. *takes massive bite*

I'm actually realy alergic to milk and eggs so trying this type of cheese for the first time realy made my day

I would love to know if the rind had the same bitterness as regular camembert. For me the bitter rind is part of the enjoyment

I’d love to see you try out Huel, especially the hot and savoury ones.

I tried this not long ago, when raw I didn’t think it tasted the best but it did taste pretty good when it was melted

Wish I could get this in the USA, looks yummy!

Can you do a follow-up to this where you bake it?

Have to get some of that, if I can find a shop that sells it round here.👌

Never heard of camembert until now

Very cool, not seen this before and my partner is intolerant to dairy so will be giving it a go if ever I see it around. Where did you find it if you have a second to let me know?

Vegan cheese ten years ago was rough. It's nice to see how far they've come.

It's interesting reading reviews of this, it seems like a 50/50 split - some love it and others think it tastes like soap. :-)

you're cheesy joke was perfect lol thank you

I'm among those who developed lactose intolerance despite growing up consuming various dairy products. It can be a literal pain to deal with, as taking Lactaid and similar enzyme pills sometimes just isn't enough to combat the unfortunate side effects. There are two big things that I miss being able to eat without issue: cheese and ice cream. As such, I've been trying out various vegan substitutes and lactose-free alternatives. For the most part, I have found some products that are ALMOST there in regards to taste, some products that have the texture down but not the flavor, and some products that wind up tasting like butter despite trying to be a cheese. I'm just glad I don't have a nut allergy, else I'd be out of luck when it comes to ice cream alternatives! Don't get me wrong; sherbet is nice, but it doesn't work as well when you want a lactose-free milkshake.

We have a vegan Camembert in Australia that’s incredible. Really hoping this comes our way soon - we get Sheese here now etc. I also saw this brand is by the Babybel makers and totally want a vegan babybel!

First product I’ve seen that I fancy trying ! I’ll buy one for my cheese and wine night when my mate comes up in a few weeks I’ll see how they like it ! I won’t say is vegan !

I’d love to see this in a more ripened state as a follow-up. I’m in the US and I haven’t seen this before and I’m always trying vegan cheeses out of curiousity.

I've tried it baked. Pretty good alternative. Have some Demi bagguetes baked with some chilli oil and it's class Bake for about 20 minutes on 220c and it should turn out perfect (it does leak some oil but it doesn't affect the quality)

I'm genuinely impressed. I wonder what it's like if you bake it?

Ppl bake camembert in the box it came in, if I'm not mistaken. Wonder how this one would bake. Mabe the 'unripeness' is there to prevent too much melting then?

So appreciate you doing these review vids, Im getting there but my taste buds are so not fully vegan :(

Thanks for this review - a good vegan ’cheese’ option. Violife do a smoked ‘cheese’ slice, which is excellent with (vegan) burgers. Just chuck on 5 mins before end of cooking time 😀

Oh wow! After watching plenty of your videos starting I think with the collaboration with Africa Everyday, I have only just noticed I am not actually subscribed to your channel…!! 😳🤯 I shall rectify that presently!! 😁👍

Great! Now I want cheese. I hope the supermarket has some ripe stilton, cheddar and brie.

How does it melt? Camembert is best baked

Very opened minded opinion

I’d love to see you try a few more vegan cheeses and give your thoughts. I’ve had quite a few over the years, many that are great and a bunch that taste like plastic

Sounds good but how does it melt?

Reminds me of ‘Grand Day Out’ “Camembert? I don’t know, lad. It’s like no cheese I’ve ever tasted (!)” (Gromit sniffs the cheese suspiciously….. then gets yanked away before he can taste it)

As someone who is lactose intolerant, I struggle to find decent cheese. Easy enough if I just want a normal cheddar, the lacto-free cheese from Arla or from cathedral city are pretty good but most other things I have tried have been quite unpleasant. I will give this one a go!

Suggestion for the next test: How does it perform molten ?

What happens if you try to make oven baked camembert with it? Or put it on a pizza?
