Nurishh aims to encourage consumers to “Eat United”
Bel Middle East, a major player in the dairy branded cheese and healthy single serving portions, is launching a new plant-based alternative to cheese in the UAE: Nurishh. The company’s first native plant-based brand, set to play a key role in furthering Bel’s mission to become a major player in the healthy snack market – diversifying through growth in dairy, fruit and plant-based
With 42% of the global consumers considered as flexitarians, meaning decreasing their consumption of animal-based products, and vegans and vegetarians accounting respectively for 4% and 6%*, these shoppers have become a key target for plant-based manufacturers.
Coline Tatibouet, Marketing Director of Bel Middle East says: “Bel Group practices a consumer-centric approach to innovation that focuses on products that meet evolving demands. Today’s households are full of different diets and food preferences – from lactose-intolerant to vegan, and everything in between – making it quite complicated to gather everyone around the table sharing the same meal. Therefore, we have seen a growing demand for vegan products globally during the past few years. At a local level, this trend is reflected in the UAE, the Middle East window spreading trends coming from Western countries where a lot of restaurants are now offering vegan options for instance. Thanks to our expertise, we are aiming at democratizing plant-based alternatives to cheese with Nurishh which invites everyone to “Eat United””.
The new products are certified plant-based and free from: dairy, lactose, soya, gluten, nuts, palm oil, with no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives. They are fortified with calcium and vitamin B12. Delivering on both taste and nutrition, Nurishh is made using state of the art equipment, which yields a vegan alternative to cheese of superior naturality. The versatile cheese brand was created to cater to all occasions thanks to:
- 2 varieties of slices: Cheddar and Mozzarella style
- 2 varieties of shreds: Mozzarella style and Cheddar and Mozzarella style blend
- 2 varieties of spreads: Plain and Garlic and Herbs
Other innovations will be launched in the coming months.
Nurishh is currently available in the UAE at Spinneys and Waitrose selected stores and on Spinneys and Waitrose e-commerce platforms, with nationwide in-store and Out Of Home availability increasing throughout the year. Visit the Instagram and Facebook accounts @NurishhArabia to learn more.
