Schinner made a shift to a vegan diet in the 1980s due realizing her lactose intolerance. As she delved into the realm of crafting vegan dishes for herself, she recognized an opportunity to share her creations with others.
Schinner’s passion for culinary innovation led her to a yearning for something she missed dearly – cheese. Disappointed by her tasting experience of vegan cheeses available at that time, she began to envision alternative approaches to vegan cheese production.
In 2014, she established Miyoko’s Creamery with a visionary mission to craft dairy-free products using traditional cultures and techniques2Miyokos Creamery. Webpage. Available: https://miyokos.com/. [Accessed 12 September 2023]..
