This is all about biology... and the beer picture makes me think about physics (double phase thermodynamics to be precise :p).

This paste is made out of cashews, fermented by vegan bacteria!

I am impressed... This possibly beats the story with a cheese factory I visited in Quebec, where the cheese where getting mature in plastic bags. I told the guy about the cheese caves existing in Europe (with the fungi stuff and so on), and he looked shocked. He then ensures me that all cheeses made by his factory were bacteria-free. Yeah sure, the guy knew what he was talking about... :D
