"These decisions are based on historical, current and projected sales." The Sainsbury's customer was not happy to hear this news and said they would now be moving to Ocado. In a 10/10 review, Vegan Food Living previously ranked Nush as one of he best vegan cheeses on the market.

It said: "The texture is absolutely spot as it’s super light and airy with an almost mousse-like quality and no hint of graininess. It works equally well spread on toast as it does in delicious cheesy sauces. I actually used this to make a creamy pasta sauce and the cheese is so flavoursome I only needed to add a little garlic, salt and pepper to season it and enhance the flavours when cooked.

"For me, many of the vegan cream cheeses on offer miss the mark when it comes to their flavour as they often have a slightly chemical taste. That’s not the case with Nush’s spreads as they have that cool note that I often find missing in other similar products.

"They’re slightly sour and slightly salty, with a good amount of tang, and I particularly like the chive variety as the oniony flavour works really well with the creamy flavour."
