Bedda Gouda-Style Slices

Bedda is a prominent brand specializing in vegan cheese alternatives, founded in Germany. The brand was established by the company Ethiconomy Services GmbH with the mission to provide high-quality, plant-based options that mimic the taste and texture of traditional dairy products. The Gouda-style slices shown are made primarily from coconut oil and starch.

Today, Bedda is owned by the Swiss-based conglomerate Emmi Group, which acquired a majority stake in late 2020 through its subsidiary. This acquisition marks a significant shift as traditional dairy giants expand their portfolios into the vegan and plant-based sectors to meet growing consumer demand for sustainable and dairy-free alternatives. Production typically occurs in specialized facilities within the European Union, notably Greece, to ensure authentic textures and flavors.
