What do you think of soy cheese?!


Question: What do you think of soy cheese!?
I have just decided to become a vegan and haven't had any meat or dairy for three days!. I won't miss meat so much, but I love cheese!. So I went out and bought three different types of fake cheese, and they all taste disgusting!. How can they make soy milk taste so great but not the cheese!? What do you think!? Any suggestions!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
i have never had soy cheese!.
it will taste disgusting because you are still used to the regular cheese!. it'll take some time to adjust to it!.
theres no neeeeed to have soy cheese like you would have been having regular cheese!. so wait it out a couple months!.
or try a different brand!.

all soy milk brands taste different, so i'd imagine soy cheese brands taste different too!.


Good luck! :) stick with itWww@FoodAQ@Com

If you're a big cheese lover, you're not going to like soy cheese!. It gives things a cheesy taste, but on its own it's never going to taste like real cheese!. I was never a big cheese eater, but I was still too afraid to try vegan cheese until after I had been vegan for 3 years!. So to me, it tastes pleasantly cheesy, but you're going to be disappointed if you want it to taste like real cheese!.

also, most soy cheeses aren't vegan!. A lot of them have sodium caseinate in them (to make them melt), which is a milk derived ingredient!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I like Vegan Rella!. It's not as good as normal cheese if you just eat it straight up, but it's fantastic for melting or shredding & putting in other dishes!.

I've used Vegan Rella Cheddar for mac & cheese, grilled cheese sandwiches, and melted on veggie burgers, and in tacos/fajitas!. You can use Vegan Rella Mozza for pizza, and white pasta sauces!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

i've only had some in the sliced formed and i made a grilled cheese, it wasn't horrible but not the greatest!.

i don't know what else to tell you, just make sure when you buy the cheese that just because it is vegetarian doesn't make it vegan, if it has casein(sp!?) or whey in it, it is not vegan!.


and to the man above why don't you tell us all the negative health benefits from the hormones in milk!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

It's only a matter of time til some genius makes a better non-dairy cheese!. They're going to make a lot of money from lactose-intolerant people and vegans!.

I have not had any that I liked!. If anyone knows an exceptional brand that is vegan and that tastes completely different, post it!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Cheese is probably the biggest reason I am a vegetarian and not a vegan!. I love cheese!. I've tried the soy cheese and did not like it!. Maybe in the future it will be better!. Boca burgers used to be nasty a decade ago and since they have been reformulated they are quite tasty!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Wait a while!. I waited two weeks before I nearly cried because I missed cheese so much!. They first thing I made was mac and cheese with soy cheese and nutritional yeast!. It was really good!. Then I had it grated on pizza!. It needs to be melted or it tastes nasty!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Cashew cheese is really good! You can either buy it (Dr!. Cow's cashew tastes just like cheddar) or make it yourself by looking up some recipes!.
