I like violife for places where I’d use shredded cheese. It’s a decent option for pizza and especially for tacos. I just wish it was as rich in protein as animal cheese
I know daiya changed their recipe and it’s much improved - though i still prefer violife - not sure if they’ve changed since I only first encountered them ~3 years ago
Do you need a different cheese for each use case? Like a good vegan cheese to sprinkle on as a topping, a good one that will melt, one to have on sandwiches, and so on?
I imagine you would. I’ve tried a few vegan varieties and had pretty bad luck: it has all tasted like the cheapest diner version of that cheese or butter I’ve ever had. So far kinda unfortunate.
Yeah, different cheese work better in different contexts. You wouldn’t want a pile of shredded mozzarella for a cheese plate nor would you want slices of deli cheese for a pizza
Cheese has been one of the hardest things for my partner and I to give up
It’s cheap, tasty, and it’s a decent source of protein
We’re finally getting tasty vegan cheese (Rebel cheese is a favorite of ours) but it’s expensive and often is pure fat.
I’m hoping we’ll get more innovation in vegan cheeses but in the meanwhile I’m going to keep looking for good alternatives
Should be on the way.
My favorite is Violife - damn tasty, especially if melted.

Has Violife improved in the last few years? I remember trying it 3 or 4 years ago and genuinely gagging

Maybe I’ll give them another go!
