Vegan Cheese That Will Make You Say Goodbye To Dairy

Cheese is often the biggest obstacle that stops people from going vegan; though that could all change very soon as dairy-free alternatives are improving fast. You probably won’t be able to tell the difference with many of the products being created these days, and it’s only going to get better. The global vegan cheese market is expected to reach $2.5bn by the end of 2020.

If you’re a self-confessed cheese enthusiast, then keep on reading to find out about some of the greatest vegan-friendly products that are giving dairy a run for its money!

Did you know that Applewood’s vegan cheese makes up 20% of their UK sales? Need I give you any more reasons to go to the shops right now and grab yourself a pack? As well as being free from dairy, this smoky flavoured cheese has added calcium and vitamin B12. Despite all of this, its defining feature is how it melts so beautifully - your cheese toastie game is about to level up!

Great news, going vegan does not mean you have to give up the ever so luxurious camembert cheese! Quite the contrary, you can feast on all the delicious alternatives (almost) guilt-free; and this Mouse’s Favourite artisan product is particularly incredible. It’s made with an authentic Camembert rind and has a soft creamy centre achieved by blending cashews. 

The Farmhouse is one of Kinda Co’s most popular cheeses. It has a sharp, robust flavour similar to mature cheddar and it’s made from cashews, so it’s super creamy. Artisan cheeses like this are perfect for adding to cheeseboards and impressing dinner guests. 

If you’re a fan of mature cheddar, then Violife’s version needs to be on your next shopping list. It’s so realistic and crumbly that you can eat it straight from the pack - but be warned, it’s addictive! This product also has added protein and vitamin B12. 

MozzaRisella makes organic products based on brown rice that’s grown and sprouted in Italy. And not only is it free from dairy, but it’s free from soy and gluten, too. If you’ve ever had the vegan pizza at a Zizzi’s restaurant, then you will have already tried this mozzarella alternative. It melts to perfection but can also be great served cold on a cheeseboard or as part of antipasti. 

MinerThreat is I AM NUT OK’s signature cheese. It’s bold and smoky with a cashew base, ripened in a coat of activated coconut charcoal ash. The woody, hickory flavours and creamy texture make it a great choice for special occasions. Say hello to your new Christmas cheeseboard favourite!
