Plant-based cheese has become a popular choice for those who want to cut out dairy but still enjoy the taste and texture of traditional cheese. But making cheese from plants that stretches, melts, and tastes like dairy is no easy task. It takes a lot of science, experimentation, and testing to create something that looks and feels like the real thing. That’s what a group of researchers at the University of Guelph set out to do, and they’ve made impressive progress. The Science Behind Plant Chees
My wife developed lactose intolerance 3-4 years ago and loves cheese. Just within the past couple of months she’s begun to find some plant cheeses that are decent. Still no replacement for feta though, unfortunately.
Violife makes a pretty decent feta.
Thanks, I’ll see if I can find that locallly.
Edit: That’s actually the brand she’s using for all of the other cheeses. Shows how much I’m paying attention! I didn’t think she was impressed with their feta though.
Can you recommend some?
Violife is the brand she likes right now. At least their slices and parmesan crumbles. She says they actually melt like cheese is supposed to and taste alright too.
Thanks!
Cooked pressed cheeses like Sbrinz or Parmesan have no lactose. It’s livable to only go for those except on a few occasions with the help of lactase pills.
