Rebel Cheese on 'Shark Tank': What is the cost and how to buy artisan charcuterie-style vegan cheese
AUSTIN, TEXAS: Life without cheese would be pretty dull. It would simply be 'cheeseless' and nobody wants that.
Most of us love any food that contains cheese but some don't prefer dairy cheese for various reasons and search for vegan options that are available in the market.
Fred Swar and Kirsten Maitland have come up with the perfect cheese that tastes delicious and the best part about it is that it's plant-based. This duo believes that all of us can enjoy good food without giving up on taste and harming animals. Their cheeses are vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free, and cholesterol-free.
Swar and Maitland are ready to pitch their vegan company called Rebel Cheese to the Sharks in 'Shark Tank' Season 15 Episode 9. The two of them will be seen trying to bag a deal from a panel of 5 Sharks including Mark Cuban, Kevin O'Leary, Lori Greiner, Robert Herjavec, and guest Shark Emma Grede.
