What is the difference between normal Cheese and Vegan cheese hamper? Most normal cheeses are made from heating Cows milk, adding culture and then draining curds. Vegan cheese is made from plant-based ingredients, such as spy beans, peas, cashews, coconut or almonds as opposed to cows so there is no animal included in the process. The difference between normal cheese and a vegan cheese hamper on the shelf is generally very minimal, because cow’s milk is only part of the ingredient list that makes cheese up it’s easy to replicate, so the list of Vegan cheeses available is as strong as the normal cheese list due to the different bases that Vegan milk can be made from.
Now as a Vegan you can definitely relate to the struggle of where you find the best vegan cheese hamper, countless hours can be spent finding a good vegan cheese hamper across supermarkets and online retailers and sometimes you can’t really find the vegan cheese hamper you’re after. Luckily in 2022 the Vegan lifestyle is becoming more popular so supermarkets are beginning to stock up on new products every month, so it won’t be a problem that is round for much longer. For your convenience though, I (well, Tish!) thought we should put a little list together for you.
So before I go into the vegan cheese hamper online list I’ll only be mentioning the top 4 that I’ve been able to find otherwise I’ll be here all day and the kids will kill me! Tish and I reviewed the best 4 that we could find online out of a long list that a friend sent us over, so here we go (and not in any particular order, they’re all amazing).
Vegan Cheese Hamper Comparisons
Below I am going to list some websites and their vegan cheese hamper comparisons. The vegan cheese hampers available on these sites are all sublime, but I will try to rate them as I go.
See below for the vegan cheese hamper:
1.Classiccornishhampers.co.uk
The hamper contains some Ale too! –
English style blue cheese (a creamy alternative to French Blue)
Cheddar with Caramelised onion Sheese (sweet and savoury)
Tribute Pale Ale (Bronze, bitter, Zesty and Fresh to compliment the sheese)
Doom Bar Pale Ale (Perfectly balanced with notes of dried fruit)
Clearspring Lightly Salted Rice Cake (A great source of Fibre, light and crisp)
Sisley’s Cornish Chutney (Delicious blend of Apples, spices, dried fruit and a splash of ale
This hamper although not 100% cheese is a brilliant combination for evenings and weekends, and the Ale’s definitely compliment the Vegan Cheeses that it comes with.
Our rating 7/10.
2. chucklingcheese.co.uk
The Vegan Gift Hamper on Chuckling cheese is great, mainly because of the dips that compliment the cheeses so well.
The hamper Contains –
Green Vie Mozarella (a delicious mozzarella inspired Vegan cheese, perfect for melting)
Green Vie Cheddar (Delicious and creamy, perfect for cheese on toast)
Balsamic pickled onions (Gorgeously crunchy paired with balsamic vinegar)
Kick in the ribs medium (Deliciously spicy hot sauce perfect for dipping or marinade)
Rhubarb 5cl (a delicious Rhubarb flavoured Gin to enjoy)
Chuckling Cheese Garlic Chilli Jam (the perfect accompaniment to any cheese, has a lovely warming heat)
Again this hamper although not 100% cheese is created to compliment the cheese that is served, and the Vegan cheese that it comes with are home made and wonderful.
Our rating 7/10.
3. Thegoodnessproject.co.uk
The Vegan Cheese Hamper available on here is amazing! It’s really well put together and very complimentary. It’s filled with tasty nibbles and aged Vegan cheese to really add flavour.

Our rating 9/10.
4. Theveganicstore.co.uk
As I did before with Graze on the Vegan Grazing box, I thought I’d add a site that has a lot of choice.
On this site there are 5 Vegan cheese hamper choices all at a very reasonable price point, so I’ll list them below –
Vegan Cheese and Wine Hamper –
Running dock merlot
Bute island English style blue cheese
Bosnan bell pepper and Almond Crème
Eat Real Cheezie straws, Burts Salt and Vinegar Crisps
Mr. Organis Rosemary Flatbread
Shaws Caremalised onion chutney
Brilliant combination and Merlot is always a go-to combination with cheese
Vegan Cheese and Savouries Hamper –
Amisa Ceggie Garden Crispbread
Applewood Vegan Smoked Cheese Slices
Rubies in the Rubble Apple Relish
Bute Island Cheddar with Caramelised Onion Sheese
Ten Acre Hickory BBQ Crisps
Another brilliant vegan cheese hamper combination with great savouries.
Deluxe Vegan Cheese Hamper –
This is the hamper to end all hampers! This includes –
Applewood Vegan Smokes Cheese Slices
English style blue cheese
Cheddar with Caramelised Onion Sheese
Sisley’s Cornish chutney
Bosnan bell pepper Almond Crème
Clearspring lightly salted Rice Cakes
Mr Organic Rosemary Flatbread
Eat real Cheezie straws
Naturli Vegan Spreadable
This vegan cheese hamper really does take the biscuit, brilliant combination and doesn’t break the bank at £36.50 for a deluxe hamper.
Vegan Cheese and Cider Hamper –
Applewood Vegan Smoked Cheese Slices
Rubies in the Rubble Apple Relish
Healey’s Rattler Cider
Cornish Orchards Gold Cider
Mr Organic Rosemary Flatbread
Bombay Mix (noodles, lentils and peanuts)
This is an all-rounder for the sweet Cider lovers, beware the Cider is crisp & dry.
Vegan Cheese and Ale Hamper – Same as in site 1, it looks like this site sells via the other to increase it’s offering.
Our rating 8 /10.
To conclude, our preferred choice (well, Tish’s!) would be The Goodness Project because it’s such a delightful cheese and complimentary hamper and the price point we believe is great in comparison to what you get. The second command (me) would have gone for the veganic store just for the sheer choice that you have, but what’s to say you can’t do both!
