Palace Culture got its start in the Parmigiani family kitchen in Crystal Palace. Due to his 4-year-old son’s dairy intolerance, Mirko Parmigiani made it his mission to create a delicious dairy-free cheese for the family to enjoy. Combining his love for flavour with a deep passion for health and sustainability, he began making nut-based cheeses using raw and local ingredients. The resulting product was a huge success! And soon enough word of these cashew cheeses quickly spread throughout Crystal Palace. This led to Palace Culture’s first stall at Crystal Palace farmers’ market.
As the business grew to additional shops and markets, Mirko recognized that nuts could not be fermented all throughout his family's flat. So he took production out of his home to a railway arch in the food hub of Bermondsey. This is where Palace Culture creates our cheeses today, which we then distribute all throughout the UK!
