New vegan cheese-Violife

like leedsveg(on VB) said, it would be nice if all the slices were individually wrapped. Vegan cheese goes dry and cracked quite soon when packets are open.........still it was a good excuse to eat the lot, and it was lunchtime.

I usually make either pizza or aubergine bake when using vegan cheese. I will try and place an order for some Violife when I have used up my Daiya stock.
I 'm always eager to try and compare vegan cheeses.

I think that Violife is nice, but Daiya is much better (at least the shreds if you need melty cheese).

But in Europe, there is no Daiya (althogh I think Veganz now has it)
 
I'm onto the Violife block I got yesterday.....I'll have to be careful or I'll be eating this stuff all the time.

Taste: Really quite good! Very much like Mozzarella. Jen said it was one of the best vegan cheeses she's had, ever. I think she first bought some from Tesco (delivery?) and then found some more at Holland & Barrett in town.

Environment: it does not contain palm oil!

Nutrition: No protein. Contains water, coconut oil and starch as the main ingredients. Coconut oil has a lot of saturated fat, but I believe that's not so bad as previously thought when consumed in moderation....?

They have several different flavours:

They're available in a lot of European countries + South Africa, Jordan and Israel:

this is great to know! i have a lot of people asking about cheese alternatives. thanks for this :)
 
BTW, everybody who has not yet tasted Vegusto ("No-Moo"), do yourself a favour and try it out!
Definitely my favourite of the pack.

And, if somebody in the US has had the possibility to try out Amy's cheeses, I would love to hear some feedback on that one.
 
I bought 2 packs at H&B in Reading and I must say that I find it much better than Sheese or Daiya. I regret not having
bought more packs as I really do like melted cheese on pizza and aubergine bake. Last night's pizza was so delicious that I
finished the leftovers for breakfast.:p

It melts beautifully and has a wonderful taste. It would fool anyone to believe that it is dairy and not vegan. I wonder why
it's not available in French shops ?
 
I wonder why it's not available in my local store? Ha ha. I can dream.
 
I would love to be able to make a decent macaroni cheese with stuff I can get from Tesco. The Vegusto(well some types) made good mac and cheese..Tesco sell:

I'll have to try the soft cheese in mac&cheese....mac&cheese is about my favourite food....when I was a kid, it was potato cheese.

helps if you put it in a container so it doesn't dry out
