So we made it ourselves. Handmade in Cincinnati.
Small batch. Every time.

"Such a cool shoppe and vibe. The cheeses are expertly crafted — my wife and I just loaded up for a vegan charcuterie spread and we are stoked we found this place. Nice samples, lovely music choice, and friendly owners. We're instant fans!"

"After developing a later in life dairy allergy, I gave up enjoying cheese boards with my friends and family. But with Mad Cheese's delicious plant-based cheeses, I'm back in the game! Heather is quick to respond to orders, is always developing new recipes and the shop is adorable!"

"Amazing vegan cheeses! Really enjoyed everything I tasted here, especially the aged garlic truffle (almond based), the smoked muenster (tofu based) and the salami. The owners have nailed their recipes. And apparently they ship, so looking forward to ordering more!"

"We've been going to Mad Cheese every week or two for over a year now. The vegan cheeses are varied and delicious and the owners (Heather & Reggie) are amazing! I have a difficult combination of food sensitivities and they spend time with me to figure out what I can have."
