    Was shopping yesterday and picked their new cheese up for crackers. Did a check on the ingredients though and noticed there's gelatin in it. It also says unsuitable for vegetarians in tiny writing on it but I just thought I'd put a picture of it up just in case.

    It varies from country to country, but the low fat/light version one, i.e. the one with the light blue writing, may also contains gelatine. I'm absolutely paranoid when it comes to reading labels, and this is the reason why.

    Once I see the word 'whipped' on anything edible I take it there is a good chance it will contain gelatine e.g. tubs of ready whipped cream, whipped cheese and so on.

    You can get Violife vegan cream cheese in dunnes, tastes better than Philadelphia IMO.

    Hi Tar,

    I am looking to try some dairy free or vegetarian cheese.

    Where could I find this tofutti cream cheese?

    Heya!

    I get that in Down to Earth on georges street, if you are in dublin. They also have a garlic/herb and sour flavour one I think. They have other things like cheddar, Parmesan, cheese slices too, all dairy free. There are also nourish shops which should have some brands too. The Parmesan is amazing with pasta.

    Tofutti and violife are my favourite brands. Vegusto is really good too but dear (like 8 euro).

    How can you get a dairy free Parmesan ? Parmesan is a cheese from Parma -in Italy like -
    Is it a dried tofu ? Just intrigued as to how they make it ?
    Incidentally if you're looking for most of the above in cork -try quay co-op -well and good Midleton and surprisingly tesco's have a lot of dairy free cheese things too -

    It's described as prosociano with parmesan flavouring, it tastes different but tastes great. Had vegan bacon carbonara with a cashew cream sauce and that cheese, was amazing.

    Here's the ingredients:

    And the rest of their range: http://www.violife.gr/#!our-products/cnfd


    There are some amazing nut cheeses but most are available outside ireland boo.

    Thanks folks

    I should have mentioned that I was in Dublin.

    I have just been vegetarian for around a month and I am still trying to find my feet and replace things that I used to eat and spreadable cheese was one. :)

    I have quit fish, milk and cheese too but have not gone down the full vegan route yet. (quorn products)

    I am happy with my progress so far and every little substitute that I can find that replaces what I was eating before is a great help.

    Now if only I could find vegan fried eggs and rashers :)

    Great progress. Quorn are releasing vegan products soon and there are plenty of vegan fake meats too already that are nicer than quorn.
    I made this vegan "fried egg" before and it was really good, bit of effort, black salt really tastes like eggs: http://www.onegreenplanet.org/vegan-recipe/the-perfect-vegan-fried-egg-sunny-side-up/

    As for rashers there are some great ones in down to earth, you can also get them online, moodley meats
    http://moodleymanor.com/moodleymeats

    grill them until they are crispy for best results, good luck with it all :)

    I recommend veggie deli sausages and vpud pudding in down to earth too, mmm
