Attila Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Hi guys, do you have any soy cheese favourite? Here in Germany you can buy soycheese at onlinestores. Most of them are gross imo. What do you have overseas? Are there any good substitutes to cowmilkcheese available in grocery stores and so on? photos would be nice too!

Guest Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Follow Your Heart makes the only good vegan cheese that should be eaten in the states...tofutti makes good cheese slices but if your gonna eat them I recommend never looking at the ingredients...these are the only two that melt easily and taste good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attila Posted August 18, 2006 Author Share Posted August 18, 2006 I tried the Slices too. They are okay for my taste but not as good as real slices imo. I've never heart of Follow Your Heart but it sounds interesting. Actually I thought there would be much more in the states. Just two good cheese alternatives - that's a pity!

Guest Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Follow Your Heart is made by the same people that make veganaise so if you have that in your area I would imagine their cheese is next...there is also this cheese spread that alot of people are fond of...I like it but it doesn't really taste cheesy(Nacho Chreese Dip by Road's End Organics)...personally for moneys sake I just use nutritional yeast and save the cheese for when I'm trying to make vegan things taste not vegan for non vegans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeganGirl2006 Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 I haven't yet found a soy cheese that I like. But I did find some rice shredded cheese that I liked quite well and does taste very close to actual cheese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 I've never seen vegan rice cheese...make sure there's no casein...I've seen atleast 5 different rice cheeses and all had casein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeganGirl2006 Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 I'll have to double check the package. Thanks for the tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Agreed, soy cheese makes me want to hurl. The only good cheese substitute that I've had that is vegan is Vegan Gourmet and it's made from nutritional yeast, I believe. All of their flavors are good and melt beautifully. You can even make fondue or queso with them easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathryn Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Most vegan cheese substitutes are pretty nasty (slices like rubber, very processed ingredients). The book "The Ultimate Uncheese Cookbook" has a lot of vegan "cheese" recipes in that are supposed to taste very authentic, including meltable cheeses, block cheeses, etc., I have the book, but like many of my cookbooks, I haven't tried any recipes yet. Most are based on nuts and/or nutritional yeast. Parma (?) is a good vegan parmesan substitute (just made from walnuts and nutritional yeast, and maybe salt?)

Guest Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 I've never actually made any myself...just fortunate enough to taste it but here's a link that has a bunch of different recipes http://www.aboverubies.org/health/cheese.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all have nutritional yeast in it When I first went vegan I hated it but now I like it sometimes - kind of scary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 I use it religiously...probably 2 times the amount most vegans would ever want to eat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
