The story…
Miyoko Schienner, the founder and owner of Miyoko’s Creamery, pioneer in vegan cheese and butter 🧀, was a huge inspiration to me in starting Everyday Vegan. 💕
As a woman business owner, Miyoko’s success in business and impact to the world’s collective diet gave me the confidence and belief in myself to start a physical Everyday Vegan Grocer. 💚 It was not an easy decision. 😬 I am not naturally a confident person… but Miyoko’s narrative and success in building her brand was an important part of giving me the confidenceto commit (and invest a big part of our life savings into this venture!). ✨
Miyoko’s Cheese Wheels are amazing! 😝 I tried Miyoko’s cheeses for the first time 7 years ago at a vegan café in Blue Mountains, Australia. 🇦🇺 I remember reading the sign: “Gourmet Cheese” and thought to myself, I have to try it 👍 – I had never had gourmet vegan cheese before. 🧐 The only cheese I had was the kind I made myself at home with a miso and tapioca starch (speaking of which, that’s a good recipe - I need to share that with you some time 😋). I was on a super low budget back then, and I remember it was such a big hit on my purse! 😱
What a delicious treat it was. 😍 Garlic and herb savoury cheesiness 😋; I remember I mashed it into my pasta 🍝, ate it with sliced bread 🍞… I eventually just started eating chunks of it. It was the best cheese I had ever had in my life. Not just the best vegan cheese, but the best *cheese*! 💯
So when I started Everyday Vegan Grocer last year, I knew I had to find a way to bring Miyoko’s Creamery into Singapore. 💚 We started bringing in micro-shipments of 3 to 4 cases, along with other products. But it was so expensive. 😥
I was grateful for customers that continued to believe in our taste and selection, and gave it a shot. 🙏 But I knew it was an investment for them, too.
Feedback was amazing, and every time we brought in a batch, it would sell out in 2 to 3 weeks. 🎉
At a certain point, we knew we had to commit to larger volumes. We finally got in touch with Miyoko’s and negotiated for better pricing but it was a commitment! 1 full pallet, hundreds of cheeses. Hundreds! 😱
This was not one of those situations where if we can't sell it, I will just enjoy it all myself. 😂 No matter how much I love Miyoko’s cheeses, I cannot eat hundreds of cheeses. 😮 And giving away that much is not viable either! I have to make sure I sell enough to keep Everyday Vegan alive. ✓
But I knew I had to give it a try, because this was the only way I would be able to bring the price of Miyoko’s down to where it is in the same range of other artisanal cheeses. 👍 And therefore, make it more accessible to everyone in Singapore. 🎉
So here we are now, Miyoko’s Creamery. An Everyday Vegan exclusive. 💚 And I am grateful for the support from everyone so far. Thank you for your trust in us, as always! 🙌
