Holy shit, there’s a decent vegan cheese? I like my meat but I understand that the current status quo isn’t sustainable, and cheese is the number two thing the vegan industry has been struggling with making a good substitute for (number one being bacon.)
Yeah. I’m a vegetarian and the only things preventing me from being full vegan are cheese and ice cream. Once I can tackle those addictions, I’ll be very happy going full vegan.
I’ve had vegan ice cream before that was so much better than any ice cream I’ve had before but I don’t remember which brand it was and I’m so mad about it. It had this really nice chewy bouncy texture. So good vegan ice cream exists. Now if only I can find it again.
Yeah, try the Follow Your Heart brand. I think the name is pretty cheesy (pun intended) and it usually costs more than common brands like Daiya, but it tastes significantly better and melts more like actual cheese.
If you skip the mass produced stuff, there are plenty of great naturally fermented plant-based cheeses. But in my experience it always feels like something is missing, which probably has to do with dairy’s addictiveness. How do you compete with drugs?
Shredded cheese substitutes aren’t bad, especially if you plan on just melting it anyway. I’m not sure i would be willing to use vegan cheese on a cheese and cracker plate, but plenty of the stuff out there is suitable for melting on top of a sandwich, or in potatoes.

I get the cheese argument, but the dairy-free ice cream these days is wild. Oatly, and a few others have some incredible offerings.
It’s been a few years since I tried any. Thanks for the suggestion!
The vegan market is thriving atm, go try!
Oh boy have I got an ice cream for you. wicked kitchen
That looks good! Thanks!
My local store had five different brands of mint chip vegan ice cream. I’ve still only tried two and I think they’re great.

Better drugs. We need to start putting crack in the vegan cheese it’ll still be plant based after all.
