Are You New To Vegan Cheese?

If you're entirely new to vegan cheese and maybe even veganism, here are some tips.

One of the first things we would recommend before diving right in to vegan cheese is to give your palate some time to forget what dairy cheese tasted like. This is usually one of the first downfalls when making the change to veganism, people expect vegan cheese to be just like dairy cheese, but made with plants.

There are some vegan cheese brands making the taste gap smaller but because of the amount of cheeses available today, just short of a thousand individual vegan cheeses, there are bound to be many you try which are not like the dairy cheese you used to love.

Try to think of them as an alternative, because they are, but that have their own unique tastes and flavours.

We recommend at least a few weeks or even a few months before you get going again so that you have forgotten what dairy cheese was like and you can start a fresh with plant based and vegan cheeses, knowing you have an incredible taste journey and new experiences ahead.

If you have no idea where to start and are a newcomer to vegan cheeses we recommend one of three options, which can all be done via the discovery page:

Select the best rated vegan cheeses on the discovery page and you will get shown every vegan cheese in the database but with the order sorted so that those which are most liked at the top. Give a handful of these a try and see if you like any.

Head to the reviews section or sort the vegan cheeses by those with the most reviews and see what others have to say about these vegan cheeses. You may like the sound of some of them, then simply see what you can buy online through the buy now links and give them a try.

The third option is to recreate a meal you really love that has cheese in it, it could be a grilled sandwich or something more complex like lasagne. Use the discovery page to find a cheese that could be great for making a bechamel sauce. If you filter by cheese type or sort the page by those which are good for cooking and you should find something that recreates a meal of yours that you love with a vegan cheese.
