Dr Mannah's (previously Happy Cashew and originally Happy Cheeze) is a manufacturer of vegan cheeses in Cuxhaven, Germany. Founded by Mudar Mannah in 2012, its products are based mainly on fermented cashew nuts.
History
The company was started in 2012 by Mudar Mannah, an orthopaedic surgeon. One of its first retail partners was Veganz with its stores in Berlin. The company, at the time called Happy Cheeze, received 200,000 euros from the European Regional Development Fund over the period from June 2016 to September 2018. The grant was for the 'acquisition of machinery and equipment for the production of vegan foods'. In 2017, the company participated in the Vox show Höhle der Löwen, a German version of Dragon's Den where it won an investment deal for 500,000 euros. The deal later fell through because the company was not ready for expansion. By 2019, the manufacturer had expanded its sales to various European areas, including London.
