      Miyoko brand cashew cheeses are excellent if you’re not looking for melted cheese. They have an aged cheddar and a soft herbed “cheese” that are great as a cheese-board type thing. Also there are other companies making fake shredded cheese that is lightyears ahead of the soy-based rubbery garbage of a decade ago. I use a fake shredded cheddar on pizza - and it’s much better than being almost but not entirely unlike actual cheese. That said, I miss cheese. Stupid sexy alpha gal allergy.

        I will have to check it out! Ive tried Daiya and a billion others but nothing is quite right (or is just flat out awful). That said, totally agree on soft cheeses / dips / spreads. Nothing beats a proper cheese pizza with mozz tho ;-;

          Violife cheese is what my store carries. It’s better that daiya but not perfect. I’ve enjoyed the “sandwich slice” cheese they have, good melted.

      For cheese you just need to find one that has 0 grams of sugar in it. Lactose is a sugar, so if the cheese has 0g then it’s generally safe to eat.

      I’m extremely lactose intolerant (makes my stomach bleed) and I can eat cheese all day if it has zero sugar.

        Neat! Hadnt considered that. Luckily I’m just a veggie by choice so the worst that happens is I feel bad for the cows and maybe a bit bloated.
