Miyoko's Creamery
The plant-based-dairy pioneer founded by Miyoko Schinner — European-style cultured vegan butter, cashew- and oat-based cheeses, cream cheese, mozzarella, slices, shreds. The brand that proved 'vegan cheese' could be a craft category, not a compromise category, and reshaped the natural-foods dairy case in the process.

What they do
Miyoko’s produces cultured plant-based butter and cheeses from cashew- and oat-milk bases, using time-honored fermentation techniques rather than emulsion shortcuts. The line spans European-style cultured butters, cream cheese, mozzarella, cheese spreads, slices, and shreds — a complete plant-based dairy case sitting next to (and increasingly replacing) the dairy version in natural-foods retail.
Why it’s listed
The brand reframed an entire category. Before Miyoko’s, vegan cheese was understood as a sad substitute — [[coconut|coconut]]-oil-and-starch pucks that melted wrong. Miyoko Schinner applied real cheesemaking technique (culturing, aging, lamination) to plant milk bases and produced a cultured cashew brie that food-writers and cheesemongers acknowledged on its own merits. That craft move opened the category to dozens of other makers — the whole plant-based dairy aisle exists in its current form partly because Miyoko’s proved the technical case.
