When Fred Zwar and Kirsten Maitland pitched their artisan vegan cheese company Rebel Cheese on Shark Tank, Mark Cuban jumped on the opportunity to invest. The Texas pair’s plant based cheeses are that good. Fred and Kirsten shared a love of cheese, especially holiday charcuterie boards, they said. After deciding to go vegan, they weren’t satisfied with the options they found on the market. They experimented in their kitchen, learning from dairy experts, and throwing away everything they knew about vegan cheese. By 2019, they had crafted something entirely new: actual cheese made from plants. These cheeses are game changers!
