Daiya cheese

[catnip13]

Ok, I was not really believing the hype about this Daiya cheese stuff, but I recently got my hands on some, and I had a quesadilla today. A real, melty, stretchy, delicious quesadilla. It still has that vaugely processed-chemically flavor, kind of like a Kraft single, but it NAILS the texture and mouthfeel. Daiya's about as nutritious as Vegenaise

funny that i read this post after majorly craving cheese all day :[

Take heart! Daiya does not taste like GOOD dairy cheese, but it does taste like REAL cheese, if that makes sense. It does exist, and I'm betting that it is going to be available.

dang. this was going to be my question. i never was a fan of processed cheese/kraft singles/etc. so i am always on the lookout for cheese that tastes like a good, 2-5 year old white cheddar!

This is the closest vegan cheese that I've found to that. And I have tried them ALL.

i like waking up to news like this. merci!

would you say daiya is better than teese then?

[catnip13]

Yes. Orders of magnatude. Teese tastes good, but the texture is all wrong. This tastes as good as Teese, but the texture is exactly like real cheese.

My best guess for something like that would be Dr. Cow vegan cheese. It is made with live cultures and aged for a pretty long time. I haven't been able to try it yet, but I've heard very, very good things!

It's not that great.
