Can anyone recommend a good brand of vegan cheese substitute?


We have tried a few brands, but find that the taste, consistancy, and smell make them undesireable. Thank you!

tofutti makes a really great cream cheese and they make processed cheese slices. the slices dont really melt (they turn kind of oily) but theyre great for cold sandwiches or if you only toast it for two minutes or so. other than those i havent been very impressed by the other cheese substitutes ive found, though they are all worth a try as peoples tastes differ. kroger has tofutti products (usually in the organic cooler area, near produce) and whole foods has everything under the sun. hope you find something you like!

Tofutti usually have a good variety of soy cheeses. Good luck!

Well luv, you can try ALL the brands of vegan cheese and you will conclude they are ALL CRAP. You must be a fellow Brit, dear "undesireable" is a typical British understatement. I prefer the Yank equivalent of CRAP as more indicative of reality.

My personal favorite (though most of my vegan acquaintances agree) is the brand Follow Your Heart. The mozzarella is legendary for pizzas and I just recently tried their Monterrey jack on quesadillas. Their stuff melts so perfectly and tastes awesome. I highly recommend giving them a try, they're located in most Whole Foods/Wild Oats/Trader Joe's, etc.

The doctor had us keep our 14 mos old off of milk products bc they thought she had an allergy and we found Road's End Mac N Chreese. She liked it but it smelled like a stinky locker room or stinky gym socks, consistency was odd, and tasted like it smelled to me, but again my baby ate it up and loved it. We also found some rice cheese, like sliced cheese, also yucky. I apologize for not having an answer for you but I thought you might gain something from our experience. Good luck!

Hands down...Earth Island Cheese brand. Even better if you melt it on recipe's. Then you really can not tell the diff...

Why not go the whole hog and give up cheese

Tofutti is the easiest to find, and they make all kinds of vegan products including cheese, cream cheese, and ice cream. And they taste good.

I second Follow Your Heart's "Vegan Gourmet" products...oh so good!
