Where can i find some vegan cheese?

Question

I have been vegan for almost two years and i have found like one kind of cheese i can eat and i lost the website. So please, help?

Answer 1

I have only found 1 kind of vegan cheese that I actually like.

"Follow your heart" makes it. It is called VEGAN GOURMET.  I get it from a local health food store. It is surprisingly good. I like the mozzarella and the cheddar. You should definitely try it..

Answer 2

Pardon me for being a cynic, but why bother with a vegan diet if you're going to fill it with simulated animal products?

Answer 3

Walmart has vegan "cheese" in cheddar and American flavor slices. They also have shredded cheddar "cheese" and white quesadilla soy cheese. You will find it in the vegetable section next to the tofu,  blueberries, mushrooms, strawberries and oriental chillled foods. It tastes great and is animal free!

You can also find vegan "cheese" at most health food stores even the small locally owned  just call ahead and ask before making the trip. That is what I do!

Answer 4

I found some at Whole Foods, and it was called VeganRella. I didn't like it much, but it's the only kind I've ever found.

Answer 5

There are several different vegan cheeses out there and I don't think I've found them all yet.

====

Sheese is Scottish so travels quite some ways if you're in North America, however they have several flavors.

Vegan Gourmet from Follow-Your-Heart is well-liked.

Galaxy has several different kinds including a Rice sub so soy can be avoided (also does Soymage)

Cheezly, ChReese, Sunergia, Tofutti, are some others that make vegan versions of various kinds.

Joy-Soy has cheese alts and mayo, butter, and ranch subs.

I really like Parma as a parmesan sub. It's great on popcorn and so good I've been known to nibble on it straight without putting it on anything. Two flavors, traditional and spicy. And no soy either.

There's also Lisanatti Soy-Station and Good Health Cheese Alternatives which come in several versions including rice, almond and soy. I do believe these have casein (at least the soy does but not sure on the rice and almond ones) but they are a responsible family business using non-gmo and organic ingredients which makes them animal and earth friendly there. Just something I had to put out there because I've been pondering the balance and whether a bad company that has a few animal-free products is a better choice than one that really cares about the world overall... Least harm struggles.

Teese is one of the newest and is getting rave reviews but is difficult to find. They are suggesting people ask for it to be carried at their stores and that includes all kinds of establishments.

As to finding vegan alternative cheeses that can be tricky depending on the area you live in. Co-ops are almost always good sources. Locally owned markets are surprisingly more likely to have more and better choices and are usually much more responsive to getting items requested by their customers than big boxes. They might even order special just for you especially if you'll buy more than one package (maybe find some friends to go in with you). Other than that, health food and high end stores often have at least a couple choices. You can also check on the websites of the various brands to see if they have a where-to-buy list. Another possibility is to check out Happy Cow for grocery stores in your area or even to see if a vegetarian (or veg-friendly) restaurant in your area might get the cheese for you (I have a combo vegan restaurant/store near me which is great because if they need something in the restaurant they just go over to the store portion and that also helps turn the store stock so it's always fresh). Finally, another source would be online such as through Food Fight Vegan Store or Vegan Essentials (which has most of them). Post Punk Kitchen (PPK) also has an undated article on low-protein vegan subs which include Ener-G (which also does an egg sub) and Vegan Rella; the page includes some info on where to find the products.

Finally you can make your own with any of several recipes from Vegan-Food.Net (though there are lots of other recipes out there on the net) which also allows you to tailor the tastes to your palate.

Edit: Teese is vegan but a lot of soy cheese has casein, a milk product so read the ingredients carefully.

Answer 7

There is no such thing as vegan cheese.  Cheese is dairy therefore not vegan.
