28 | Vegfestuk Vegfestuk | 29 VegfestUK Bristol 2012 would like to say a huge welcome and thanks to the almighty Redwood – Redwood Wholefoods the UK’s premier vegan food producers!

Tim from VegfestUK says

Redwood were our first sponsors back in 2003 so it is fitting that they are back in full effect to become our first ever Show Sponsors for VegfestUK Bristol 2012 as we go into our tenth year. Redwood have always been at the helm of innovative vegan food in the UK, but just recently they have surpassed even themselves with the addition of the UK’s first ever vegan pizzas - sure to be an absolutely massive hit and bringing the wonders of plant based food to an even wider audience. I remember how excited everyone was when Melting Cheezly - the UK’s first vegan melting cheese - appeared back in 2004 and these pizzas are creating the same sort of stir. Add to this a whole host of other new products - including desserts, ready meals, specialist oils, confectionary, sausage rolls and pasties and you can be sure Redwood will be leading the way for some years to come at the forefront of the plant based revolution. And - all credit to the owner and management here - definitely a company that puts its money where its mouth is. Respect.

Last but not least, Redwood will be giving away tasters of its new Strawberry pud, the latest addition to its growing range of delicious “Wot No Dairy” yoghurt style desserts. Produced from highly nutritious pea protein so free from dairy, soya and allergens, Wot No Dairy desserts also come in raspberry, peach & apricot, plain and black cherry varieties. Made from natural ingredients and sweetened with fruit juice, Wot No Dairy desserts are higher in protein than many dairy-free ’yoghurts’ produced from oat or rice.

Bute Island are the proud creators of the Sheese brand of vegan cheeses, making all their products at their custom built factory on the beautiful Isle of Bute in Scotland. A variety of textures and flavours makes the Sheese range a must have product for many vegan households, and being dairy free is of course an excellent choice for those who are lactose intolerant too. Recently Bute island have brought out some new products - the brand new Melty, in two flavours (Mild Cheddar and Red Cheddar), which (as the title suggests) manages to melt most satisfactorily thereby making it a most excellent choice for pizzas, lasagnes and other dishes that require that essential ingredient - melting cheese.

For years vegan have had to forgo this luxury but suddenly, just like the buses there are several really good plant based alternatives in the melting cheese department that have all come along at once, and once again Bute Island leads the way with this innovative, tasty and versatile product that takes another big leap forward into the world of cruelty free healthy options that will become the by word of the 21st century. The Bute Island team are more than just cheese producers though - one look at their website and you will see a plethora of philosophical and wise words and a deep underlying lifelong commitment to a world of peace, harmony and a plant based lifestyle that further deepens their credentials as one of the World’s leading ethical and very special companies - the real McCoy, as they say. And again Bute Island extend their wholehearted and generous support for VegfestUK Bristol for the 6th year running in the way of sponsorship and support.

Events like this would never have survived this long without the support of producers like Bute Island and the vegan public especially should be full of respect for this beautiful bunch of individuals that make up the close knit team that is Bute Island. The Sheese product range includes
