Say (Vegan) Cheese! Making Spicy Hard Cheese

Here are the basic ingredients to start with. We’ll add more spices and savory elements later during the process.

2 cups or 11 ounces (312 g) cashews (before soaking)

Around 1⁄2 cup (118 ml) Culture Starter; you may need a bit more (for my spicy cheese, I used some Fermented Wild Mustard Roots brine)

2 tablespoons (12 g) garlic powder

4 to 5 tablespoons (16 to 20 g) nutritional yeast

1 teaspoon (6 g) miso (optional)

1 teaspoon (4 g) spicy chili powder or flakes

2 tablespoons (13 g) smoked paprika

1⁄2 teaspoon (3 g) salt

note: Note that you have a lot of freedom with these ingredients. You can use less paprika or replace it with mild chili powder. If you want to make a curry cheese, replace the chili powder and paprika with around 2 teaspoons (4 g) of Curry Blend.
