Recipe Questions

How long can I consume my vromton after maturing?

It can be enjoyed as soon as it is completely white, it will then have a fresh and cheesy taste. Then like anything matured, the longer you wait, the more its taste and character will develop. We recommend that you consume your vromton within a maximum of 15 days after complete maturation and storage in its Camembert paper.

 

The smell/color seems suspicious to me, what should I do?

If there is a suspicious or unpleasant odor or abnormal color, do not consume your vromton. If mold other than white (black, orange, pink, etc.) appears, do not consume. Please inform us in this case by email or on our site chat with your photos.

 

How do I know if my vromton is developing correctly?

The vromton, before adorning itself with its beautiful white dress, originally has a cream color linked to cashew nuts. Then you will see a small white fuzz forming. It is the penicillium camemberti mushroom which begins to form its flowery rind and gives the typical taste of camembert. Depending on the humidity, some parts of the mushroom may turn brown or brown, especially on the edges of the crust. This is normal and does not pose a problem.

 

Can children and pregnant women consume vromton?

The vromtons are unpasteurized. Their consumption may pose a risk. Like any raw and unpasteurized product, there is a risk of poisoning that must be taken very seriously, which can be serious for people at risk and in particular pregnant women, their fetuses, babies and children, as well as for fragile people (e.g. example seniors) or immunocompromised. We therefore do not recommend that you consume vromton if you are a person at risk (children, pregnant women, elderly people, etc.).

 

Is eating vromton more ecological?

Your cashew nut vromton is much more ecological. It requires approximately 3 times fewer CO2 emissions than a cow's milk Camembert!* This is linked to the fact that much less cashew nuts are needed to produce a vromton than milk to produce a cow's milk Camembert. cow. In addition, part of the CO2 is absorbed by the cashew tree, the cashew tree.

Are your cashew nuts shelled manually?

We do not currently sell cashew nuts, because it is a product that is easily found everywhere and whose price varies greatly: to limit the price of the kit and allow everyone to choose nuts suited to their needs. budget, we do not include them in the kit. But if this were to be the case one day, they will obviously be organic and mechanically shelled, without manual shelling.

 

Are vromton ferments vegan?

Yes, from the recipe to the ferments our mission is to offer an animal-free alternative to animal milk cheese. Our ferments are cultivated on a vegan basis.  

My vromton has an incomplete bloomy crust, what should I do?

It may happen, depending on the ripening conditions, that the flowery rind does not develop on the entire vromton. This is not a problem. If after 20 days you no longer observe any development, your vromton is over. You can still consume it if its appearance is consistent.

I observed pink/blue/black mold on the surface of the vromton, what should I do?

In this case, do not consume your vromtons, even after removing the mold in question. Like any natural, raw and unpasteurized fermented product, it can happen that “bad” bacteria develop. These do not come from the ferments, controlled in laboratories, but from the natural environment (kitchen or refrigerator for example) or are brought to the vromton during manipulations. This is why we insist on hygiene and recommend impeccable hygiene to users of the vromton kit when tasting products made with the vromton kit (as with any homemade culinary preparation), during the preparation and refining of vromtons. and during their tasting (disinfection of work surfaces, utensils, hand washing, etc.). If this happens, please contact us at contact@vromton.com with your photos. We remind you that the kit is only a fun experience and that consumption involves a risk which is the full responsibility of the Customers.

Making my vromton with your kit is too expensive

Buying the vromton kit is an investment that quickly pays off compared to purchasing commercially available plant-based products. On average, making your vromtons costs you 3x less and you will have already saved €7 on the first use and around €30 on your second use. Your investment is then profitable from the second use of the kit. It is possible to save more than €100 from your 5th production, and more than €200 from the 10th (depending on the price of raw materials in 2022).
