A passion for nourishment, a love for transformation, a deep respect for living food.

I'm Amy Elkhoury, a plant-based chef with a background in whole food plant-based nutrition, yoga, and animal welfare. My journey into the world of plant-based cuisine began with a deep-rooted passion for health, compassion, and the planet.

 

Transitioning from a career in wellness, I found my true calling in the culinary arts, specifically in creating artisanal, aged, plant-based cheeses. The challenge of crafting cheeses that are both delicious and ethical led me to establish Nuteese in Hong Kong.

 

At Nuteese, we handcraft each cheese wheel from activated and cultured nuts, aging them with care to develop rich, complex flavors. Our mission is to offer a compassionate and healthy alternative to traditional dairy cheeses without compromising on taste or quality.Nuteese is more than just cheese; it's a reflection of my journey, values, and commitment to creating food that nourishes the body and respects the planet.
