UK stockists of vegan cheese??

Question

Where can I go to buy vegan cheese in the UK?

I usually buy from TESCO's and I bought 'cheezly', but I want to try something different now.

What are the best cheeses you've tasted and where do you get them from??

Answer 1

My local Sainsbury's has Scheeze. Holland and Barratts would have other options as well.

Goodnessdirect.co.uk do deliveries, not sure what they have in terms of vegan cheese but they are generally really good for vegan stuff.

It does really depend where you live- but I am sure there is a good health food/organic shop near to you if you look it up. There are vegan forums online as well, you might be able to find a local one to help you source other vegan goodies as well.

Good luck!

Answer 2

I like Cheezly cheeses too; I've only ever found one of the cheddars in Tesco; try Holland & Barrett or any good health food shop for other Cheezly cheeses, including melting ones, or visit the Redwood site as above and order online.

Answer 3

Cheese is not vegan.  It is dairy.

Answer 4

Scheese cheeses are nice and I probably would recommend them more highly than Cheezly, with the exception of the Cheezly mozzarella- that melts far better than any other and is available in any Holland and Barratts usually. Another nice one available in H&B is Tofutti cream cheese.

For Scheese products, the first place to try would be your local independant healthfood store: they often stock a different range which may well include those.  It's likely to be a wider range than a supermarket too. These stores are often willing to get in new proucts available from their stockists if they think there is a demand also.

Failing that there are a variety of vegan cheese alternatives easily available on online veggie or healthfood stores.  It's just always worth checking when ordering this way whether or not they charge extra to deliver refridgerated products and bearing in mind you won't be able to check the use by date! Vegan cheese tends to last longer than dairy but don't stock up large amounts this way because you don't know what the dates will be. For these reasons it's best to check out what's avialble from local stores first.

Answer 5

There is also Sheese - according to their website, Sainsburys stock this. Personally I like the Cheezly products.  Both do loads of different varieties and other great products for us vegans!

Infinity Food stores are a good distributor of such products.  Also, Taj stores -- that is if you have any of these shops in your area! Also Holland & Barrett.  Ask at your local organic/healthfood store.  They will be able to order most products if you ask them to.
