#22 Cheese Please with Dan's Plant Powered - Dan LiBoissonnault on making plant based raw cheese, developing your pallet, building the business organically, and getting healthy
Description
Dan LiBoissonnault of Dan’s Plant Powered talks about making macadamia and cashew cheeses, vegan pesto with vegan Parmesan called Fauxmesan and the journey he has been on.
Dan developed his palate drinking and selling wine. Before he went vegan he was dropping $100 a week on non-vegan cheeses.
Dan went vegan, started doing yoga, sold his liquor store and started making vegan cheese. Loved it, and decided to start a business selling his cheeses. He makes a rich, a savory, a spicy, a smokey, and is leaning into the future of cheese.
