A vegan mozzarella style cheese from MozzaRisella. I was very excited to get a parcel in the post with this vegan cheese as I have not been able to get it locally yet.
Vegan cheese has always been a bit of a grey area, the previous generation of vegan cheeses were not great. This one is from a new generation of vegan cheeses that taste, look and act like a dairy cheese but without the animal ingredients. This new Mozzarella is dairy free, soya free and gluten free.
The cheese is quite soft and slices very easily. The flavour is very delicate cheeseyness with a hint of oregano herbs. I tried it on its own and then melted some on a little slice of vegan pizza that Paul made. Uncooked the texture is quite pleasant, but cooked is my favourite, it melts really well. You do not need much to get a good result. I really enjoyed it on a pizza as the flavour of the oregano and added to the pizza overall flavour and the creamy cheese added another texture, it is not quite the same as I remember dairy cheese but it is close. I will add that Paul did not like it at all, he was not a fan of the texture.
Each 200gram pack is suitable for vegans and vegetarians. Soya Free, Lactose Free, Gluten Free. Made in Italy. Made in a vegetable only factory. Sold in some food outlets mainly in London and it starting to be used in some vegetarian restaurants.
Please note my reviews are always honest and unbiased, however I feel it only right to point out that the marketing team of Mozzarisella did supply this product for me to review
