From cheddar to feta, here are the plant-based alternatives that pass our taste tests
The rise of veganism shows no signs of slowing down and last year the UK launched more vegan products than any other nation to keep up with demand. Whether you shun animal products full-time or are just trying to cut down, one food that’s often cited as the most missed by those following a plant-based diet is cheese (closely followed by bacon, FYI). Thankfully, avoiding dairy no longer means you need to miss out, with a vegan substitute now available for all of your favourite cheeses.
There are two main types of vegan cheese to look out for – those with a coconut base and those made from nuts, with the latter most often created with almonds or cashews for a creamy, smooth, spreadable texture.
How we test
When putting our cheese to the test, we were looking for those that were as similar to the real deal as possible. If a cheese described itself as a gouda, for example, we wanted to be unable to tell the difference in a blind taste test. Some failed at this, tasting pleasant but unmistakably not dairy-based. We’ve only included the ones that passed with flying colours, although we put many more to the test.
Cheeses were tried straight out of the packet and melted or grated where suitable, with us on the lookout for a creamy, salty quality. Happily, there are also a number of pre-prepared options on the market (grated or pre-sliced “cheddar”, for example) – so no need to pass up on convenience food if that’s something you’d normally buy.
As well as trying replacement ricotta, parmesan, cheddar and feta, we also tried a variety of flavoured cheeses, which would make a great addition to a vegan cheese board. These added herbs and spices also did a great job of masking any telltale non-dairy flavours that might have lingered otherwise.
