VeGourmet Jeezini Bianco

Vegan White Cheesejeezini_bianco

A pack of white cheese slices from the Jeezini range of VeGourmet.  I got these from Vegan Cross,  I don’t think you can buy direct from VeGourmet.

I love the fact that we are getting some great vegan cheeses and this Jeezini white cheese is pretty good.  This pack is sliced cheese which is handy for sandwiches, or topping crackers.  The texture raw is a little bit rubbery, like the processed dairy cheese you get.  The flavour is good,   a mild cheese flavour, supposed to be Mozzarella in style,  not strong but you can tell it is cheesey.  It does melt pretty well,   I had some on toast and it was lovely.   This white one is a bit unattractive because it is just white,  but it is a good vegan cheese.

Vegusto NO Moo Golden

Vegan Cheese no_muh_golden

A golden dairy free vegan cheese with a hint of pineapple called No-Muh (No Moo) from Vegusto.  Lately I have tried a few vegan cheeses from Vegusto and I am super impressed,  they are great.

This golden cheese is delicious,  you cannot really taste the pineapple but the cheese does have a hint of sweetness.  The cheese is crumbly and is very similar to dairy cheese,  the flavour is excellent.

I really enjoyed this cheese on crackers,  similar to cheddar in style but better.  Would work great on pizzas, crackers, cut up into cubes for parties.  It is really good.

Vegusto cheese really is the best vegan cheese I have tried so far.

Violife Diary Free Cheese with Mushrooms

Vegan Cheese with Mushroomsviolife_mushrooms

A pack of sliced cheddar style vegan cheese with mushroom pieces and flavouring from Violife.  Veganic have sent me a few flavours of this cheese to try, and so far I have been very happy.

This mushroom flavour is also pretty good.  You can clearly taste the mushrooms and it works great with the mild cheddar style cheese.  I actually prefer this one hot rather than cold,  but that is because I am not a huge fan of cold mushrooms.   It does melt well.  A good vegan cheese.

Each pack is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.   Some of the Violife cheese contains small amounts of MSG which is not on the label,  it is listed as Vegan Flavours.   ( I am told they are working on removing it from their recipe).   Per slice is 57kcal.  Sold in health food shops.

Violife Vegan Cheese with Peppers

Vegan Cheese with Peppersviolife_peppers

Packs of vegan cheeses, one with peppers and one with hot peppers from Violife.  I have been sent these cheeses to try.

The cheese is ready sliced and is basically like a mild cheddar with flavours added.  It cooks and melts quite well and can bet eaten straight out of the pack on a sandwich.  This is one of the best vegan cheeses on the market at the moment.

 

 

violife_hot_peppers

The Violife with peppers is quite pleasant,  the mild pepper look nice speckled through the cheese and it is quite good in flavour.

The Violife with hot peppers is quite spicy and tickled my tongue quite a bit.  Great if you like strong flavours.

Violife Vegan Cheese Olive

Vegan Cheese with Oliveviolife_olive_oil

Packs of vegan cheese slices, one with olive oil and one with olive pieces from Violife.  These were kindly sent to me to try and give my opinion.

I do like this range of cheese as it acts, looks and tastes like cheese.  It is a little like a processed dairy cheese in texture.  The olive oil one is pleasant enough,  I could not really get an olive flavour,  but it does taste good and is like a mild cheddar cheese.

IMG_1297

violife_olivesThe olive pieces cheese is a bit different,  similar in texture, but the olives add a punch of olive flavour which is lovely in the cheese.

They would both work great on a sandwich,  but also this cheese melts really well,  so could be used on a pizza, a toasted sandwich or on a veggie bake.

Vegusto No-Moo Melty

Melty Vegan Cheesevegusto_nomoo_melty

A tube of vegan cheese designed to melt called NO-MOO Melty from Vegusto.

When I tasted it raw it reminded me of how I remember of the flavour of Dairy Lee triangle cheeses. When cooked it was more like a melty cheddar cheese.  I was surprised at how good this cheese is.    It has a great flavour and I think that anyone who tastes this blind would think it is dairy.  This is definitely one of my favourite vegan cheeses.

Creamy Risella Vegan Cheese

Vegan Cream Cheesecreamy_risella

A non dairy cream cheese made from germinated whole rice called Creamy Risella from Frescolat.  I have tried the Mozzarella style cheeses from this company and they are really good especially when melted.

This vegan cream cheese has a very fluffy texture and is indeed very creamy in texture.  The flavour is really good, light and refreshing, and I would go as far as to say that this is the best cream cheese I have tried that is vegan.  It works brilliantly on crackers and hot potatoes.  I enjoyed it with some salad and I also had it with some sweet potato wedges and that was lovely.  I am so pleased we are finally getting good vegan cheese.

Each 200gram pack is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  Per 100grams is 227kcal.  Organic and 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. You can also buy direct via their web site.

Veganic Pizza Cheese

Vegan Pizza Cheese

A vegan cheese alternative for toppings like pizza & pasta from Veganic.  Finally a vegan cheese that is good.  I have tried lots of variations of vegan cheese and so far I have been a little bit disappointed,  they just are not right with the flavour. Until I tried this one.

This veganic cheese is amazing it tastes like a mild cheddar cheese and the texture is very similar to real cheese.  This one melts very nicely,  I have tried it as a cheese on toast, on top of a garlic bread and on some pasta and so far everything I have tried has worked.   I cannot stress enough how good this vegan cheese is and how close it is to real cheese.  If you are new to being a vegan or if you miss cheese then this is certainly the best out there right now.  

It is relatively new to market so only available from a few outlets,  it is worth the effort.

Each  pack is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  Dairy Free.  Per 100grams is 285kcal.  Check on line for the latest retailers.

Redwood Soy Free Cheezly

Vegan Soy Free Cheese

A soy free vegan cheese in a cheddar style from Redwood Wholefoods.   Vegan cheese is not my favourite thing but this version is quite pleasant,  I find it better to have vegan cheese with another ingredient, that way you get a cheesey flavour but it does not overpower anything.  I had mine with some mushrooms melted and I enjoyed it.  I like that it is soya free because I do feel that I eat too much soya.  This one is made with pea proteins and potato starch.

Each 190gram pack is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  Soy free, cholesterol free, gluten and wheat free.  Sold in health food shops and on line.  Per 100grams is 266kcal.

Vegan Mozzarella

A melty Mozzarella style dairy free cheese from Teese.  This vegan cheese was really not my idea of fun,  i have tried quite a few vegan cheeses and this one is my least favourite.  It has a very strong cow/dairy flavour which is quite acidic,  I found it really unpleasant.  I prefer some of the other Mozzarella vegan cheeses like the Redwoods or Sheese versions.

Each 283gram pack is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  Low fat.   I bought mine from a vegan on line retailer.

Redwood Parmesan Style Cheese

Vegan Parmesan Cheese

A vegan Parmesan style cheese alternative from Redwood’s.   This is a hard cheese replacer, ideal for pasta and Italian style dishes.  The flavour is really strong and has quite a strong cheesey smell.  I had it grated on some polenta for a trial and I have to admit I did not like it very much.  I am sure that some people will like it but I found it a bit overpowering.  Vegan cheese is always better with other foods than on its own, then you get a sort of cheesey flavour with other flavours.

Each 190gram pack is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  Per 100grams is 362kcal.   Vegetarian and Vegan Society Approved.  Sold in health food shops.

Tofutti Mozzarella Vegan Cheese

2012 Written by maggie

Vegan Mozzarella Style Cheese

A pack of grated Mozzarella Style cheese from Tofutti.   This dairy free cheese is quite good.  Like all vegan cheeses I find them better with something rather than on its own,  that way you get a sort of cheesey flavour offset with other flavours.  On its own it does not stand up, in my opinion. I also think it wise only to have small amounts to get the best flavour.    I like it with pasta, but it goes great on sandwiches, melted on pizzas, on jacket potatoes or on top of a veggie bake.

Each 200gram pack is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  Dairy Free.   Per 100grams is 420kcal.  I bought mine in Holland & Barrett.

Vegan Mozzarella

Super melting dairy free cheese from Redwood’s.  Vegan cheese is not my favourite, but lately I have had a slight addiction to pasta with vegan pesto made with fresh basil.  I thought I would try a little vegan Cheezly on it to see what it was like and I am pleased to say that I enjoyed it.  The Mozzarella added a nice creamy texture to the pasta,  I grated it and stirred it through so it melted.  I will have this again.  I am not a fan of this cheese on its own, but in a pasta dish I think it works really well.

Each 190gram pack is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  Made in a vegan factory.  Per 100gram is 272kcal.   Dairy Free.  Sold in health food shops and on line.

Vegan Grated Cheese Replacer

A dairy free and gluten free grated cheese replacer from Life Free From.   It is designed to sprinkle on wherever you would normally use cheese for example on pizzas and pastas.  The powder does give you a cheesey taste,  but I would not recommend having too much,  a little does go a long way.   I tried it on a gluten free meal, gluten free spaghetti with vegan pesto,  it tasted quite good and I enjoyed have a cheesey tang for a change.

Each 60gram pot is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  Lactose and dairy free, gluten free, Vegan and Vegetarian Society Approved.   Made in a nut free factory.   I bought mine in an independent health food shop.
