Yeah, it’s just plant based. Some of them are awful, other ones are shockingly good. Texture is usually pretty much the same. Basically like lactose free cheese now a days. 5 years ago it was plastic but now you can’t tell the difference.
Yeah. Some vegan cheese is ok on a burger. But the uncanny homogenous texture freaks me out on a sandwich. It’s a weird transition. Also. Gouda is addictive. Nothing can beat gouda.
Not entirely false. I’d honestly like to see a few more vegan Goudas seasoned properly with caraway seeds! (Not that most non-vegan cheeses get this right either…)
Flavour wise, vegan cheese is pretty good, but there’s definitely still room for improvement.
Ofc, a more “authentic” tasting vegan Gouda cheese probably wouldn’t even belong on pizza in the first place!
I made the mistake of ordering a pizza with vegan cheese a few years ago. It smelled and tasted rancid, in an overbearingly chemical way. I didn’t finish it.
In terms of ethical veganism, what happened to the genetically engineered yeasts that produced cow casein, and looked like a promising way of making animal-free dairy products?
Not all vegan cheese are equal, some are absolute garbage but many are delicious. Miyokos specifically is an amazing vegan mozzarella that I use for pizza all the time.
This is my favorite sliced one. Some others are very oily when melted. Others are sweet. Others need to be cast into a deep pit, never to see the light of day again.
Is vegan cheese an actual thing?
Thankfully! My son has a dairy allergy but loves vegan cheese.

Example pizza with vegan cheese:
(Source: My dinner on Friday.)
This one is 50% Daiya smoked Gouda block and 50% store brand veg Mozzarella.
It’s not Gouda, if it’s not from the town of Gouda. It’s just sparkling fake cheese.
XD
