Pasta Cheese!

The Vegetarian Society approves
Twineham Grange Italian Style Cheese

Vegetarians can now enhance their favourite pasta dishes with an authentic tasting Italian style cheese. Approved by The Vegetarian Society, Twineham Grange Italian Style Premium Cheese contains only natural ingredients full of calcium and protein. This Italian Style Premium Cheese is perfect for adding an extra something to your vegetarian pasta dishes without adding any animal rennet.

Twineham Grange Italian Style Premium Cheese is a medium fat cheese with a pleasant and uniform yellow colour. The texture is thick and crumbly, its taste and fragrance are sharp and scented, and Vegetarian Society approval ensures that vegetarians everywhere can enjoy its taste without compromising their palates or their consciences. Based in 400 acres of farmland in the heart of Sussex, Twineham Grange Farms are the only premium quality vegetarian Italian style cheese producers in the UK maintaining traditional methods. Twineham Grange Italian Style Premium Cheese is available from selected supermarkets, delis and farm shops and online at www.tgfonline.com

The Vegetarian Society's 'approved trademark ' was established in 1969. Since then it has become the most widely recognised and trusted stamp of vegetarian approval anywhere in the world. The symbol can be found on a huge range of products, including retail food and drinks, catering supplies, household goods, cosmetics and toiletries.

The strength of the symbol is based on products meeting the following criteria:

  • Products must be free from all meat, poultry, fish, shellfish and crustacea.

  • Products must not contain slaughter by-products such as gelatine or animal fat.

  • Any eggs used in the product must be free-range.

  • Approval will only be granted to products or ingredients not tested on animals since 1986.

  • Approval will not be given to genetically modified ingredients as these are likely to have been tested on animals.

  • The Society also requires that cross contamination does not occur between vegetarian and non-vegetarian products during food production. No other symbol gives consumers such reassurance and inspires the trust that comes from the Vegetarian Society approved symbol.

    The Vegetarian Society is the oldest vegetarian organisation in the world. It offers an independent voice to promote and provide information on vegetarianism.
