Vegan Cheese

iainconlon12

I've been vegan now two months and still havent come across any type of Cheese substitute here in Ireland like Daiya etc.. I'm starting to think there dont sell any here?

Anybody know of a place that sells them?

Thanks

A good few health stores do Cheezly or Sheese. And Tofutti do cream cheese. All are available in Nourish, The Health Store (Blackrock branch anyway, dunno about the others). They're not fantastic though really. Cheezly melty mozarella stuff isn't bad when melted onto something. Tofutti works well for making 'cheese' sauce.

Life free from... do a good a parmesan substitute that I think is in most health food shops or some tescos in the free from sections.

They're available in most health food shops in the places I've lived - Dublin and Galway.

The Scheese vs. Cheezly debate is still ongoing on the vegan sites I frequent, but my two cents is that Scheese is terrible, it tastes like a wet sock. Cheezly is much nicer, it still tastes fairly processed, but the melting variety does its job and the soy-free one is pretty good too.

The Free From Parmazano substitute is nice but is obviously of limited use. I've tried most of the other ones and they're all muck. The only decent one I ever found was a bag of Tofutti grated cheese a couple of years ago but I never saw it on sale anywhere since.

This might be no use to you but I was in Galway last weekend and evergreen were stocking it. I'm not mad on it myself.
