Plant-based cheese has become a popular choice for those who want to cut out dairy but still enjoy the taste and texture of traditional cheese. But making cheese from plants that stretches, melts, and tastes like dairy is no easy task. It takes a lot of science, experimentation, and testing to creat...
Never been vegan, but would love to see vegan alternatives that are as good (subjectively) as real cheeses. I do try to make an effort to reduce my animal-based food consumption, but cheese is really hard for me to leave behind.
It's a big sticking point for many, and I felt the same way making the transition from vegetarian to vegan. In the end, I found I didn't miss it as much as I thought I would, but that's just my experience.
I appreciate your sentiments, and your efforts to limit your consumption. I will always applaud someone who eats a vegan diet 5 or 6 days out of 7. If everyone could manage something like that, it would make a huge difference :)
Wow, really cool. Sounds like great progress for the industry. And it's Canadian >.<! Good on AOL for covering this, although they should have used the "grilled cheese pull apart" test for the headline photo (copied below).
Cheese is so interesting because it's cultured, with different bacteria that make it all taste different. It's more like a living thing. Vegan cheese is the stuff of school pizzas. Pasteurized Processed Cheese Food.
Still interesting, and happy for vegans, but coconut oil and pea protein made into an ultraprocessed cheese food doesn't sound healthier than cheese.
fair, but it's not like the high saturated fat and high cholesterol levels in dairy based cheese make it really that "healthy" by comparison ... meanwhile, lots of vegans are motivated more by not supporting the poor treatment of cows or by environmental concerns, both of which are solved by vegan cheese.
Ohh wo/man I totally agree. I just can't eat the real stuff. I blow up, not just in my digestion but physically I have terrible whole body inflammation.
I like to have fake pizza once or twice a month. This will make it better (once i read the article and taste it).
There's a lot of it, so yeah. If vegan cheese reaches the point where it's basically indistinguishable from dairy cheese, a lot more people will become vegan. Maybe price is also a factor but most vegan cheese is plain bad in my experience
I've made cheese, though, it just seems more like food than the ones made from oil. Still - I know this is the vegan sub, and I cook for vegans quite often, I am happy for y'all that it's getting better tasting, for sure.
