Bon Bessó

Bon Bessó is the first producer in history of a vegan cheese with a Mallorcan identity! After 4 centuries of almond milk tradition on the island, the Redonet is born: The plant-based alternative to cheese, made with natural, organic and local ingredients from Mallorca. Our artisan Redonets are made with lots of love, patience, almond milk (56% almond) and high-quality probiotics, as well as sea salt, extra virgin olive oil, aromatic herbs, dried tomato, etc..

Description

Bon Bessó was born with the idea of meeting the growing demand for plant-based foods, especially plant-based alternatives, as well as promoting the local and organic produce of the island.

Our Redonets are produced in a similar way to conventional cheese: Our almond milk is fermented in a controlled way with plant based probiotic cultures, responsible for the creation of lactic acid. Once moulded, the pieces mature for several weeks in cheese dryers. During the aging process, each Redonet will change its texture and flavour and will gain in nuances, until it becomes a real delight. Yes, it's made with almonds... even though it's incredible!

Our product is not only local, but we also look for sustainability in its packaging: While the box is made of recyclable kraft cardboard, the vacuum bag is fully compostable.

At our production site you will find our Redonets and other local Gourmet products from Mallorca.

ITS DELICIOUS TOUCH OF ACIDITY AND ITS GREAT CREAMINESS ALLOW IT TO ADAPT ELEGANTLY TO SWEET AND SAVORY.

THE ISLAND'S SWEET PAPRIKA (KNOWN FOR SOBRASADA), IN PERFECT BALANCE WITH THE FRESHNESS OF THE LACTIC ACID OF THIS REDONET.

A history of four centuries

The production of almond milk in Mallorca began around 1690, where the friars of the convent of the Minims, who were vegetarians, produced and drank it throughout the year, especially on the occasion of the most prominent festivities. Its consumption ended up becoming popular among the population, until today, as a traditional drink during the Christmas holidays.

Today

The island struggles to preserve its tradition in the cultivation of the local variety of almonds of excellent quality, facing the plague of "Xylella fastidiosa" or the competitiveness of almonds from California or Australia. At Bon Bessó we think it's time to reinvent traditional almond milk: Four centuries later we turned it into the Redonet!
