All vegans agree that the hardest food to give up is cheese. Despite many brands and supermarkets selling cheese, none of it comes close to real cheese in texture or flavor. Most industrial cheeses are made with coconut oil, which leaves them with a flavor that's nothing like real cheese.
While searching for alternatives, we realized there had to be a way to make a good vegan cheese at home. Since we don't need preservatives or colorings, we can focus on getting the best flavor.
We tried tons of recipes and ultimately combined several to come up with the perfect vegan cheese: super creamy, super flavorful, and with an authentic, melted cheese flavor. This vegan cheese is so realistic, you'll fool all your friends! Plus, it's packed with vegetables and nutrients, with a very low fat content, so it's not only suitable for vegans and lactose intolerants, but for anyone looking for healthier cheese alternatives. And the best part is, you can make it in 15 seconds!

How long does this cheese last in the fridge?
Our vegan cheese recipe is made entirely with vegetables and yeast, so it lasts as long as a vegetable cream. We recommend always keeping it refrigerated and consuming it within 5 days.
Is vegan cheese healthy?
There are many types of vegan cheeses, and not all are made with the same ingredients. The common characteristic is that they are not made with animal milk and therefore do not contain lactose or milk proteins, which cause intolerance and digestive discomfort in many people. Our vegan cheese recipe uses only vegetables, yeast, spices, and oil, making it much lighter and easier to digest than traditional cheese. It also contains a higher amount of fiber and is gluten-free.
