Simply V Vegan Cheese

Simply V is a leading brand in the plant-based dairy sector, specializing in almond-based cheese alternatives. The brand was founded in 2015 in the Allgäu region of Germany by E.V.A. GmbH, a subsidiary specifically created by the traditional cheese manufacturer Hochland SE to capture the growing vegan market. The development of the products involved traditional cheesemakers who spent months perfecting a process that uses almonds as a base to mimic the texture and taste of dairy cheese.

Manufacturing primarily takes place in Germany at facilities in Oberreute and Hergatz. For the North American market, production is handled by Franklin Foods, another Hochland subsidiary, at their plant in Vermont to ensure local supply and freshness. As of 2025, the brand's management and sales operations have been fully integrated into Hochland Deutschland GmbH to further scale its international presence and streamline its portfolio of "dairy-free" products. The brand remains under the ultimate ownership of the Hochland Group, a family-owned enterprise headquartered in Heimenkirch, Germany.
