Vegan nduja, Ve-Du-Ya, is Belazu's vegan take on the traditional Italian spicy spreadable sausage. The taste comes from using whole, lightly fermented Calabrian pepperoncini chillies that have a strong, sharp heat and a mild tangy flavour balanced with a sweet undertone from the red peppers. The texture is replicated using coconut oil.

Farm Frites have worked closely with the National Federation of Fish Fryers to develop a chilled pre-prepared chip that mirrors that made in-house by many operators.

How to buy vegan wine

Some advice from When in Rome Wine:

During the fermentation process, the natural sugars in the grapes are converted into alcohol, which once complete can leave a wine looking rather hazy.

Although there is no issue with consuming the wine at this stage, we live in a world where aesthetics matter, and so the ‘fining' process was born.

Typically, the traditional fining agents used in wine are made from animal products like casein (a milk protein), albumin (egg whites), gelatin (animal protein) or isinglass (fish bladder protein).

A simple way of avoiding this process altogether is to look for the words ‘unfiltered' or ‘unfined' on the packaging, which will ensure your wine is vegan-friendly.

Although many wine manufacturers will continue to fine and filter in this way, there are some who are using alternative methods which are suitable for vegans. Carbon, bentonite clay, limestone, kaolin clay, plant casein, silica gel and vegetable plaques are all being used as alternatives to the animal product fining agents.
