At The Vreamery, our mission has always been to curate the absolute best plant-based cheese experience on the planet. To do that, we look for true artisans who are pushing the boundaries of what non-dairy can be.
Today, we’re shining a spotlight on a brand that has truly mastered the “alchemy” of the almond: The Uncreamery.
Meet the Makers: Lisa Myaf & Mark Charette
The magic behind The Uncreamery isn’t just in the ingredients, it’s in the people. Founded by Lisa Myaf and Mark Charette, this San Francisco duo set out in 2016 with a clear goal: to create a plant-based cheese so good it could help even the most dedicated “dairy lovers” make the switch.
Their dedication to clean labels and traditional culturing techniques has not gone unnoticed; we are so proud to carry a brand that was recently named a 2026 VegNews Veggie Award Nominee for their incredible contributions to the plant-based culinary world. Every block Lisa and Mark produce reflects that award-nominated commitment to quality and community.
The Art of the Almond
While many brands rely on heavy oils or starches, The Uncreamery takes a different path. Based in San Francisco, they’ve perfected a proprietary process that turns the humble almond into a sophisticated, cultured masterpiece.
What makes them a staple in our shop? It’s the science of the snap. Whether it’s the bright, herb-flecked Dill Havarti or the bold, lingering heat of their Ghost Pepper Jack, they’ve cracked the code on that elusive texture and “melt” that many plant-based cheeses miss.
Why They’re Vreamery-Approved
We don’t just put anything in our cases. We look for three things:
- Clean Ingredients: No fillers, just real food.
- Cultured Depth: That tangy, fermented “funk” that defines real cheese.
- Versatility: Can you put it on a board and melt it in a panini?
The Uncreamery hits all three. Their Truffle Brie is a consistent showstopper on our custom boards, offering an earthy richness that pairs beautifully with a crisp white wine or a handful of dried figs.
The Future of the Fromagerie
The plant-based movement is evolving, and makers like The Uncreamery are leading the charge. By bringing their almond-based magic into our shop, we aren’t just selling cheese, we’re proving that choosing compassion doesn’t mean sacrificing a single ounce of culinary joy.
Next time you’re ordering online, look for the almond-based magic of The Uncreamery. Your taste buds (and the planet) will thank you.
