We were thrilled to find a vegan Camembert-style cheese in our local supermarket, from the Canadian-based company UMYUM. As the website describes, this cheese has a “bloomy rind; earthy, sweet tones; and a creamy finish.” It is slightly tangy but not overly strong … it’s subtle but quite delicious. The rind is lovely, and the …
Though we love Violife Parmesan as well as Follow Your Heart, we decided to try this vegan parmesan from Trader Joe’s. We were delighted to find that it’s excellent! It has all of the rich creaminess of Violife, but it also comes in little shreds with all of the salty flavor of Follow Your Heart. …
As huge fans of Treeline cheeses, especially the French-style artisan cheeses, we were happy to see a smoked gouda variety. This is a firm cheese that has a really strong gouda flavor … it’s probably the most authentic gouda we’ve sampled. However, there was a bit of an odd metallic aftertaste that we couldn’t help …
When we were gifted a variety of Rebel Cheeses, and we are hooked. We are thrilled to know they are available in Southern Oregon at the Oregon Cheese Cave, and we hope you can find them in a store near you. You can also order them online and have them shipped; many varieties freeze well, …
Treeline vegan cheeses are a staple in our house, and we were excited to see this new pimento flavor appear in the store. This lovely cashew-based cheese is mixed with pimentos and jalapeños for a lightly spicy flavor (despite the jalapeños, this cheese isn’t too spicy). It’s delicious on crackers and could probably also be …
The last time I had Parma! was long ago; I traded it in for other vegan parmesans for my pasta. Yet at the this summer’s Southern Oregon Veg Fest, Parma! had a booth at which we got to sample myriad flavors I didn’t even realize existed … and we were hooked. On popcorn, we sampled …
As you may have read here before, we love many Forager Project products, including butter, yogurt, and chips. When we saw this Forager Parmesan cheese in the market, we were excited to try it. Yet we’re sorry to say it’s quite disappointing, compared to the gold stars of vegan Parmesan (Follow Your Heart and Violife). …
We so enjoyed the Nuts for Cheese Gouda Wedge that we also sampled its Artichoke & Herb variety. Unlike the Gouda wedge, this cheese did have an artichoke and herb flavor that lived up to its name. It’s not as vividly pretty as the Gouda wedge, but it still looks scrumptious. And, best of all, …
We’ve been hearing about it for a while now, and we finally got to try it! This dairy-free version of the delicious Boursin cheese is incredible. (It’s made with Follow Your Heart, another beloved vegan brand and one of our favorites). The cheese comes in a good-sized tub (which, if you’re like me, is still …
We found this lovely spreadable cheese from Misha’s Kind Foods, and it’s a wonderful find. The smoked cheddar variety has a great texture, is terrific on any type of cracker or bread, and has a lovely smoky flavor, with smoked paprika and chipotle peppers. If you visit the Misha’s website, you’ll see that these lovely …
We were delighted to find these wheels of Plant Ahead cheese wedges, a reminder of school lunches and other snack-friendly times. These are indeed wonderfully portable cheese snacks, ready to enjoy straight from their little foil packages, to pack up for a picnic, or to spread onto crackers or fresh bread. The wedges are thick …
Field Roast’s delicious Chao cheeses have been around for a long time, but for us, the Spicy Original slices are a first. These slices are tasty and flavorful — if you like pepper jack flavors, this is your cheese! As some vegan cheese slices tend to be when not heated, they have a slightly waxy …
You may have already read our review of Cultured Kindness’s brie-flavored vegan cheese, and we were thrilled to sample the “Pepper Jill” flavor as well. The brie flavor was delicious despite tasting nothing like brie, but this peppered cheese is spot-on perfect in terms of both flavor and labeling. It tastes just the way a …
What a joy it was to discover Cultured Kindness cheeses at the grocery! Especially when we saw the word brie along with the word vegan. This “brie” variety is smothered in fresh herbs, which make it especially beautiful (and flavorful). The texture (cashew-based) is perfect: thick, creamy, rich, highly spreadable. The only problem we had …
We found this vegan “white Greek type” cheese in our local grocery and decided to try it. (We already have a couple of fetas we love, from Follow Your Heart and Violife, but this is what happens when shopping while hungry.) We were delighted to find that this is another delicious vegan feta! Some of …
