Ingredients

What are Pa'lais products made of?

The main ingredient of all our Pa’lais products is sustainable cashewnuts from which we make our plant-based milk. You will find the complete list of ingredients below each item in our product pages.

I heard Pa'lais products are fermented, what does that mean?

Fermentation has been used for centuries to make cheese all over the world and we are using these same techniques in our Pa’lais products to make dairy alternatives. We start by making milk from sustainable cashews, and then add some ferments to it. Next, we heat it up to let the ferments spread and transform the milk into a creamy substance. The original flavours, smells and textures will change into a creamy dairy alternative that we call Pa’lais.

General

Who is behind Pa'lais?

There is no food giant behind Pa’lais. Instead you can find Laurent Jadot, a vegan entrepreneur, and Kevin Storms, a chef specialising in plant-based cuisine, at the helm of Pa’lais. They realised that nobody was making non-dairy alternatives that were not only natural and healthy, but also tasty and creamy. So they rolled up their sleeves and decided to create their own in their food lab. There, they conducted their research to create plant-based alternatives to dairy products with taste and nutritional qualities. After months of experimentation, they decided to make these products available to everyone.

There are several ways in which you can interpret the word Pa’lais, here they are summed up. 1. There is no milk in Pa’lais (“pas de lait” in french) 2. Pa’lais is a delight for the palate (“palais” in french) 3. “Pa’lais is royal”.
