Award Winning Vegan Meats at International Food & Drinks Event 2017
"We don't make fake meats: they are real, just vegan."
Sgaia specialises in small batch, artisan meats and cheeses that are entirely plant based.

In less than two years, we've grown from a tiny one-room operation to a dynamic production facility that ships award winning, fresh vegan produce to restaurants, retailers, and customers all over the United Kingdom, as well as supplying a travelling plant based butcher shop. Have a look at our upcoming pop-up dates here.
Our signature product Mheat, made primarily of wheat and soya protein, has an unmistakable meaty texture that wins over vegetarians and omnivores alike. We strive to establish Mheat as a stand-alone, tasty and satisfying vegan meat in its own right; detaching it from animal counterparts and the idea of replacement, we choose to concentrate on authentic flavours, cultural accuracy and culinary heritage.

All of our Mheats are created from a dough, which is then seasoned and cooked differently according to several carefully devised recipes. We've used Mheat to create a variety of products that authentically reproduce conventionally meat-based foods such as Pastrami, Streaky Bacon, Rare Roast Beef and Italian Salamino (pepperoni). Several restaurants in Scotland and England have introduced vegan menus using our mheats in place of their traditional counterparts with extremely successful results.
Our all time best selling Streaky Mheat Rashers were named "Best Vegan Meat" by PETA in 2016.

The Mheat Range
Our range can be divided into two categories: Hearty Mheats for Cooking, and Plant Based Charcuterie & Cheeze. All of our mheats are pre-cooked and ready to eat, which makes it incredibly easy for customers and chefs to prepare them according to their tastes and recipes. They have no added oil (aside from the marinades for the charcuterie), so they are naturally low in fat and cholesterol, while being high in plant protein and satisfyingly filling.
Hearty Mheats for Cooking
We offer three varieties of Mheat Steak (Smoked, Hot Chilli, and Original - all of which will be available to sample at this years IFE Event), two gourmet burgers, and the best-selling Streaky Rashers. Designed for cooking, they are perfect for BBQs, stir-fries, roast dinners, and any other dishes where you'd conventionally use animal meat.
Plant Based Charcuterie & Cheeze
Our fresh deli products include the delicate Herbed Roast, chunky Hot Chilli Salamino, peppery Pastramheat, Tyrolean-style seasoned Späck, and our brand new Smoked Provolone. Our charcuterie and cheeses taste perfect straight out of the pack and require no additional seasoning or preparation. They make perfect platters, salad and sandwich fillers, and even pizza toppings.
