GREENTECH FESTIVAL GENIESSERSTÜCK

in collaboration with Veganz

THERE IS BIG NEWS: WE HAVE OUR OWN VEGAN FESTIVAL CHEESE NOW!

The GTF GOURMET PIECE is a collaboration with @veganz and a plant-based cheese alternative that is sustainable, plastic-free and green! The Veganz delicacy will soon be available as a limited edition for the GREENTECH FESTIVAL in the color green and can be diced, grated and sliced as you like – perfect on bread, salad, pasta and pizza!

Fun Fact about the difference between the green gourmet piece and the Veganz gourmet piece: The vegan cheese alternative “GREENTECH FESTIVAL GENIESSERSTÜCK” has its green color thanks to natural leaf green, also known as chlorophyll.”

DECORATED WITH A SUSTAINABILITY SCORE

To us cheesy delight is not only expressed by just a vegan recipe, the authentic taste or an environmentally friendly packaging. We even take it a step further by making the sustainability of the Veganz Gourmet Piece visible. Our Sustainability Score shows you its CO2 footprint, water use and protection of animals and rainforest. Origin of raw materials, production, packaging, transport – everything has been calculated and compared with 110,000 other foods. The result is shown in stars. From two stars on, the product is already considered sustainable.

PURE HAPPINESS FOR YOU AND THE ENVIRONMENT!

An unwritten cheese law states: “Cheese makes you happy!” Nothing against that – As long as its vegan! After all, animal cheese often means anything but happiness – at least as far as the cow, calf and our planet are concerned. However, with the Veganz Gourmet Piece it’s different. Because, as you can see from the Sustainability Score, the Veganz alternative to block of cheese scores three stars in all four categories. We’d be happy to explain why this is so:

CLIMATE

With a CO2 footprint of 473 g per package (200 g) the Veganz Gourmet Piece shows what climate protection can look like. By contrast, its “animal” counterpart has an emissions value of 1,942 g CO2 for the same grammage – that’s four times as much! Why is that? Because CO2 is “produced via detours”, which means, before cheese and curd etc. are even made, the cows must first be properly fed and like this, their food doesn’t migrate directly to us humans but is processed into animal feed – and that’s a real CO2 machine! In addition, cows produce endogenous greenhouse gases on a continuous basis, which unfortunately damage the climate.

WATER

Water usage? Veganz got this! You won’t find any ingredients in their lactose free cheese that consume a lot of water in their cultivation or production. Thus, the Veganz Gourmet Piece contributes to the reduction of the global water footprint in a sustainable way.

ANIMAL WELFARE

Traditional Gouda is made from cow’s milk. That doesn’t mean anything very nice for the cows: the separation from their calves (for whom the milk is actually meant) and life inside dwelling unfit for them. Yet, with the Veganz Gourmet Piece, they literally leave the cow alone, using very few vegan ingredients with water and coconut oil as a basis.

RAINFOREST

Neither soy nor palm oil, or any other ingredients that could harm the rainforest, find their way into our vegan cheese recipe. This way, Veganz ensure optimal protection against deforestation and therefore support the preservation of green forest areas.

The best is yet to come: You can taste the cheese blindly at this year’s festival, all you have to do is be there and visit the Veganz stand.

After the festival, we will show you the highlights of the tasting here on this page as a video.
