If we can’t call American cheese “cheese” when it actually is a cheese (or is made from cheese, at least), why can we call this stuff “cheese”? It’s not cheese.

Vegan cheese by definition is not cheese. It’s a plant-based concoction with a dishonest marketing term. This probably should be shared on the Vegan subreddit, not here.

I would try it

Interesting, I’m always willing to try new things. There’s alot of vegan cheese I don’t care for, but I have tried some that are impressive.

You’re braver than me OP 😂 I’ve had some lovely cultured cashew based cheeses from artisan vegan cheese makers, we even had a vegan cheese board with my dairy cheese loving FIL! But I’m too nervous to share photos or recommendations outside vegan subreddits because some people react quite intensely

I wouldn’t try it, but it sure looks like a real one!

Call it what you want, except cheese.

Why is everyone getting up in arms about this being vegan? You’ve got to assume if you’re in a cheese subreddit everyone already understands this isn’t traditional cheese – so instead of getting hung up over the process why not allow people into the fold.
No need to be puritanical to the point that people who may simply be unable to enjoy dairy products end up feeling excluded from this community.
They can still enjoy flavours and appreciate the methods, and guess what, you can also give your opinion on this kind of product too. It would be a shame if your opinion began and ended with ‘not cheese’.

I have to eat vegan because my lactose intolerance is so severe I turn into the little girl from the exorcist. Sometimes I treat myself and have some real cheese, but I mostly I have to eat vegan cheese. I appreciate the advancements they’re making!

how you get cheese without cheese?
KatieBeth24 on
That’s so cool! I’m not vegan but I’d love to try! I’m glad there are options out there.

In the most innocent way, how does one make vegan cheese? The base of cheese is cream/milk? What does the cream/milk get substituted with?

The artisanal vegan blues I have tried of late have been astonishingly realistic. La fauxmagerie is insane.

Aw man, I was hoping this would be one of the nut-free ones too but it’s cashew based. One of my friends is deadly allergic to milk and nuts, among other things.

I love blue cheese and I really miss it since I’ve gone fully plant-based a few years back. I have yet to find a half-descent vegan blue cheese and this is definitely worth traveling for! Where in Spain is this cheese maker and how do I find them 🙏🏼

Vegan blue cheese made me like non vegan blue cheese. The one I tried tasted “halfway” to a normal supermarket blue (the ones you can buy here at least), which was too piquant for me. Now I like both. Yay for food science

So it’s not cheese.

To everybody griping that it’s “not cheese,” y’all need to chill. Just becasue it’s vegan doesn’t make it bad. The advancements in food is spectacular! Vegan food has helped make more food more accessible for people that can’t, in this case, consume milk. I have family that is starting to use vegan cheeses as a replacement because it helps their lactose intolerance. I have a friend eating vegan cheese because they’re allergic to beef (technically the majority of mammals, but I’m not gonna get too far into that), so milk-based products are inaccessible to them.
Just because the minority of vegans are annoyingly loud, doesn’t mean all vegans are assholes. I’m Inupiaq, and there are some vegans, in their ignorance, have attacked me for simply existing because fruits and veggies are non existant 95% of the year. But I have also met many others who ask questions and show interest over our way of life and just go about their business.
My only gripe with this cheese, is that it’s blue cheese lol. Don’t know why, but never been a fan of the taste. I’ll probably make the same yuck face whenever I get the opportunity to try vegan blue cheese.
