Mediterranean Magic: How to Make the Ultimate Plant-Based Sandwich with Kashew Aged Cheese

Fresh. Flavorful. 100% plant-based.

There’s something undeniably satisfying about a really good sandwich. The kind that feels both rustic and gourmet—packed with flavor, but simple in its ingredients. At Kashew, we’re always inspired by the bold, sun-soaked flavors of the Mediterranean, and in this recipe, we’re bringing them to life with our signature Kashew Aged Cheese.

This sandwich is everything we love about Mediterranean cuisine: juicy tomatoes, fragrant basil, olives, sun-dried tomatoes, a drizzle of olive oil—and the magic touch? Our aged cashew cheese that adds depth, tang, and that unmistakable umami.

Why Kashew Aged Cheese?

Kashew Aged Cheese is our pride and joy. Fermented traditionally using cultures and local cashew nuts, it’s rich, tangy, and packed with flavor—just like a fine aged cheese should be. Perfect for slicing, layering, and pairing with bold ingredients. 100% dairy-free, additive-free, and made in Vietnam using organic cashews.
