Our Story
VIRGIN Ⓥ CHEESE produces organic vegan, artisanal cheeses of the highest order made from pure plant power. Traditionally cultured, cashew milk based cheese that is worthy of fine wine. Nominated as Best Vegan Artisanal Cheese in the country, along with 8 other epic brands ~ in the 2020 Veggie Awards by Veg New Magazine!
Jodi Paige, CCO, Chief Cheese Officer Jodi has been crafting up all things cuisine for many years; from learning to cook by dining out in Seattle's many fine establishments during the fabulous mid-80s to making and taking appetizers, dips and concoctions to any get together, for any reason. Always a tough audience, as a theatrical production stage manager or as a retail sole proprietor, being the barometer of good taste comes in especially handy being at the helm of an artisan vegan cheese company.
The journey to VIRGIN ⓋCHEESE was as extraordinary as the cheese itself. A new love affair with plant based eating, coupled with a Las Vegan community on fire for compassionate and creative cuisine, all came together in March of 2014 when Las Vegas launched its first animal sanctuary with a grand opening private dinner for 150 health conscious consumers. Guests were greeted with a vegan cheese appetizer table, with 8 varieties of organic, nut milk based cheeses. Guests came through the line 3-4 times and the cheeses hardly stayed on the table for very long. The Wine & Virgin ⓋCheese basket Jodi assembled, with two organic wines, two cracker choices, two organic dark chocolate bars and big wedges of Lemon Dill, Shallot Truffle, Bleu and a Cheddar Nut Ball - went at silent auction for $400.00. Even more surreal, moving through the crowd to check on the auction bidding of multiple donated items she had prepared for the Sanctuary that evening, Jodi was enveloped with one word whispers of "cheese" "cheese" "cheese" as she made her way from the booth to the auction area. The evening came to a close with the event's coordinators and crew finally getting their first Virgin ⓋCheese experience, and the first Wine & Vegan Cheese Pop Up Bar was conceived. Virgin Cheese now ships to Los Angeles, Seattle, New York, Phoenix, Sedona and Wisconsin for world-wide shipping via Vegan Essentials.
Jodi now presents a Ditchin’ Dairy Demo that demonstrates how to prepare coffee creamers, yogurt, sour cream and cream cheeses and also founded the Grow Your Own Festival in Las Vegas. Jodi is dedicated to inspiring people to live and eat honorably and to grow much of their own organic produce at home. A coalition of community forums she conceived, Peace Begins On Your Plate, collaborated with UNLV ‘s Harrah Hospitality College to bring plant based education and demonstrations to a broader audience.
