Rebel Cheese

An award-winning Austin, TX artisanal plant-based cheesemaker — founded by Kirsten and Fred Maddaus — using traditional cheesemaking techniques (culturing, aging) on plant milk bases. The product passes the blind-taste-test threshold most vegan cheese cannot, and the Austin storefront doubles as a cheesemonger and sandwich shop.

What they do

Rebel Cheese makes plant-based cheese using traditional cheesemaking techniques — culturing and aging — applied to plant milk bases. Founded by Kirsten and Fred Maddaus in Austin, TX, the operation runs both a production kitchen and a retail storefront in East Austin that functions as a cheesemonger, sandwich shop, and small cafe. The product line includes aged wheels, creamy spreads, and fresh-style cheeses; the brand has won category awards (Good Food Awards, etc.) in the plant-based cheese space.

Why it’s listed

The plant-based cheese category breaks into two tiers: the supermarket pucks ([[coconut|coconut]]-oil-and-starch, melt poorly, taste like substitute) and the artisan tier (cultured, aged, real cheesemaking discipline). Rebel Cheese sits firmly in the artisan tier — the kind of operation that proves the technical case for vegan cheese as a real craft category. Together with [[miyokos-creamery]] at the national scale, Rebel completes the directory’s plant-based-cheese cluster.
