Spain-Based Quevana Opens High-Capacity Plant for Cashew Cheese Production

Spain-based Quevana has opened a new high-capacity plant in Segovia, making it one of Europe's largest cashew cheese production sites. With the ability to produce over 400,000 units of fermented plant-based cheese per month, the facility is a significant milestone for the company's growth. The converted plant meets IFS food safety standards and is fully certified organic, positioning Quevana as a leader in sustainable and ethical production practices in the plant-based cheese industry.

Quevana's unique process of blending chopped cashews into a base liquid and fermenting the mixture to create semi-aged cheeses has allowed them to offer a range of six different varieties. By reducing retail prices by 50% in 2023 after increasing production capacity, Quevana has made its products more accessible to consumers and experienced a surge in demand. With a focus on sustainability and transparency, the company aims to continue expanding across European markets with the opening of their new production facility in Vallelado.
