If you read our review of Violife Parmesan, you know we love it…except for the hassle of shredding it. Well, problem solved: Violife now offers shaved parmesan! We sampled this (in addition to eating it directly out of the bag) with marinara sauce and the delicious Kite Hill Mushroom Ravioli (review coming soon). The parmesan …
We were so glad to find yet another new (to us) Violife product locally: this beautiful Epic Mature Cheddar block. This block of vegan cheese is much like the Epic Smoked Cheddar we sampled first — but we actually liked this one even better. Like the smoked variety, it has a great consistency and is …
As huge fans of all Violife products, it was wonderful to discover a product new to our local grocery: Epic Smoked Cheddar. This flavor is delicious, like a vegan version of smoked gouda, with a base of potato and ground sunflower kernels (and it’s supplemented with vitamin B12, a nice bonus). This thick wedge of …
We now have a new favorite Violife product — “Just Like Parmesan” cheese. This is truly one of the best parmesan substitutes out there. Our cheese grater is not as fine as it should be for parmesan-style cheese, but it did the trick — especially since this Violife cheese isn’t quite as hard as “real” …
On a recent visit to Southern California, I was glad to find these Just Like Mozzarella shreds at a local grocery. While the package says, “Melts great!” this is not entirely true. It melts okay. As you can see in the photo below, we had quite a few semi-melted shreds on our pizza (and this …
In our continuing coverage of Violife cheeses, we sampled “Just Like Mature Cheddar Slices.” One of our tasters felt these slices were a little bland, preferring spicy Field Roast CHAO slices instead, but even if they are not truly cheddar-like — and especially for those who don’t want spice — these slices are simply a …
It’s been amazing to see Vioilfe products cropping up in our local grocery stores — so far, we’ve tried the feta and the cream cheese — and then we found the Just Like Cheddar slices. These slices are among the best in vegan cheeses (the only one that comes close is Field Roast CHAO, and even those …
More Violife varieties are beginning to appear in our local shops, and it’s so exciting to try them. The newest we’ve found is the “just like feta” variety. This variety is coconut-oil based, which explains its rich, creamy texture. It doesn’t crumble easily like “real” feta, nor does it have the same sharp and tangy …
We have been very impressed with all the Violife products we’ve sampled so far, including these “Just Like Smoked Provolone Slices.” These slices have a lovely smoky flavor and have a nice, creamy texture — they are not as rubbery as some vegan cheese slices. This variety, while perfectly fine not heated, does melt quite …
