4 Hot New Gourmet Vegan Cheeses You Should Try!

Some people say there’s just no comparison to dairy cheese. You can make your own nut cheese or purchase a cheese substitute, but still, many people can tell the difference between what they call “fake cheese” and the cow’s cheese. We get it – though we love us some veggie cheese, we know people are weary of substitutes. But change is here! Just like meat substitutes, which have gotten tastier and more meat-like, cheese substitutes are getting better, too!

You’ve probably never seen cheese quite like this! Check out the products from Follow Your Heart – they have cheese shreds, Vegenaise, salad dressings, gourmet cheese spreads and gourmet cheese shreds. The company says with the taste of their products, “the great taste of cheese is now more than a memory,” so try them out and see for yourself!

There’s also Kite Hill with their artisanal nut milk-based cheeses. Try their Soft Fresh Truffle Dill & Chive cheese and the Ricotta (whipped for firm!)

Another brand you should check out is Miyoko’s Kitchen, who has a Harvest Collection of vegan cheeses that are gorgeous enough to take to a holiday party. Flavors include French Style Winter Truffle, High Sierra Rustic Alpine and Fresh Loire Valley in a Fig Leaf. And don’t forget about their spreadable, creamy cultured nut cheese products.

The cool products don’t stop there. Check out this video for Chao, a new vegan cheese product from Field Roast, who creates veggie sausages. The flavors go beyond cheddar and mozzarella – how about Coconut Herb with Black Pepper or Tomato Cayenne with Spicy Pepper? Sounds delicious!
