Bandit
Real cheese made from plants. 

We use long-established, traditional cheese-making methods using real, plant-based ingredients. Our result is a cheese with the flavor, depth, and texture of a traditional dairy cheese, not a cheese replacement. It just so happens to vegan. Made with care and time in the heart of Philadelphia, we use our proprietary fermented cashew curd blend and apply traditional affinage methods and treatments to our cave-aged cheese, resulting in a bloomy, tasty, stand-out, dairy-free, vegan cheese.

Job description

We’re adding to our Production and Affineur Team in the New Year!

Our ideal candidate is an enthusiastic and energetic collaborator who loves to learn. A keen observer with a built-in attention to detail, with an ability to recognize priorities and shift focus accordingly. This person is comfortable asking questions, thrives on crushing to-do lists, contributing to shared goals, and is wild for (or doesn’t mind) the rhythm of repetition. Bring your positive mental attitude, and your passion for food!

Affinage is the overseeing and caretaking of cheese throughout its life cycle from curd beginnings into ripening, blooming, and until maturation.

 

This job is a physical job. There are many aspects of the creation process that require specific and constant physical movement and activity. With these honed methods in all stages of our process, attention to detail is of the utmost importance. The ability to learn and follow specific instructions as it relates to ensure accuracy, cleaning, and sanitization protocols to maintain the integrity and stability of the delicate crafting process is essential. We’re a small team, all working collaboratively to balance duties and meet weekly goals. All team members contribute to an efficient, clean, comfortable, and productive creamery- candidates should be able to navigate priorities with little guidance from Mgmt. While rotation of duties and assignments shifts from day to day to make sure that foundational knowledge is shared, many of the responsibilities in the creamery are repetitive, and rely on being uniform to ensure quality control.

 

DUTIES INCLUDE:

Duties include but are not limited to: being able to prepare, use with ease, breakdown and properly clean all materials and equipment needed for crafting. Safe usage of all machinery, equipment and materials, with guidance of Management and safety protocols. Maintaining a cleanly and efficient workstation, production floor, and cave workspaces.
