Miyoko’s vegan mozzarella, made with organic cashew milk, comes in a circular puck. It seems like real mozzarella, but the visuals are easy to nail. But the texture and taste? Texturally definitely it seems like mozzarella. Taste…honestly, I don’t remember the exact flavor of mozzarella beside it being sort of milky and sometimes tangy and…

Miyoko’s Creamery Pepper Jack Vegan Cheese Shreds are a really good imitation of the real thing from first gaze. They really do look like pepper jack shredded cheese: milky white with sprinkled red accents…that’s pepper jack. But do they taste like pepper jack? They get the point across well enough. The shreds are flakier than…

These ‘Creamy Original’ Chao Tofu slices are a vegan cheese product from the Field Roast company. Field Roast produces vegan meat and cheese products. I’ve had their tomato ‘deli meat’ slices before, which I unfortunately didn’t formally review: I recall liking them, but they were a bit salty for my taste. Anyway, these Chao Tofu…

I recently reviewed Kite Hill’s Plain Cream ‘Cheese’. I liked it, but I wasn’t intending to get anymore anytime soon as I generally preferred Tofutti. A few things happened after that review that changed that… We discovered that Kite Hill’s cream cheese has horrible shelf life compared to Tofutti. It went moldy quite quickly. That…

Kite Hill Cream Cheese is another brand of vegan alternative cream cheese, like my previously reviewed Tofutti cream cheese. The base for Kite Hill’s vegan cream ‘cheese’ is almond milk rather than tofu as with Tofutti. Almond milk is light—in calories and body. This almond milk based cream cheese is no exception to that. This…

I use it as my preferred cream cheese replacement and I love it. The Tofutti Cream Cheese spreads very well on a…

Daiya is a maker of vegan cheeses and other vegan items, such as cream ‘cheeze’, which, if I recall correctly, was how I was introduced to the Daiya brand in the first place. Their cream cheese is a review for another day, but suffice it to say—I liked it and was interested to try more…

The L’Amuse Brabander is a goat cheese from Holland. It is made by the same people who did the L’Amuse Signature Gouda which I reviewed over a year ago. The name sounded familiar to me when I picked it up—I almost thought I had reviewed it. I did not—if I had, I would certainly not…

The Kerrygold Skellig Sweet Cheddar declares itself to be three things. One and Two: It is 100% natural cheese that is imported from Ireland. I’m not going to argue with either of those things. The third contentious point is that it is a Sweet Cheddar. Sweet, as in…sweet. I disagree. The first bite I had…

The Seaside Cheddar Cheese is not just any cheese, it’s a rugged, mature Cheddar Cheese made in England. When I deconstruct the adjectives at use, I really have no idea what it all means in context of the cheese. What I do know is what I taste. What I taste is not a sharp cheddar like…
