The Compleat Food Group Acquires Organic Vegan Cheese Producer Palace Culture

UK-based organic vegan cheese producer Palace Culture has been acquired by The Compleat Food Group, a chilled food manufacturer, for an undisclosed sum. Palace Culture is known for its plant-based cheeses made from fermented cashews and almonds, including award-winning varieties such as Truffled Camemvert and Sacré Bleu. The brand is currently available at select retailers like Whole Foods Market and Abel & Cole, but The Compleat Food Group aims to expand distribution to national supermarket chains.

The Compleat Food Group, formed in 2021 through a merger, has been increasing its plant-based offerings, including plant-based meat brand Squeaky Bean and Vadasz, a brand of plant-based pickles and fermented products. With the acquisition of Palace Culture, the Group's Chief Marketing Officer expressed excitement about introducing more consumers to the world of plant-based vegan cheeses, citing a growing demand for delicious vegan cheese options. The Group plans to leverage its expertise and scale to bring Palace Culture's products to a wider audience and anticipates announcing additional listings soon.
