What's your favorite brand?
Answers: depends on what you are using it for. The only kind I really buy is Tofutti cheese slices. My omnivore roommates always use it by mistake and never notice.

There are a lot you can make yourself for everything you could imagine. And it has reviews so you can see whats really awesome and what bombs.
Dont think it will taste exactly like cheese, its an acquired taste for some of them. There are DAMN good substitutes though. Source(s):
Own experience. It costs a lot more, since people have to actually make it themselves, (ie, no fertilizers for the plants the animals eat, no steroids to make the animals grow faster than normal, and etc.)
I've never tried it myself, but I guess if you are into being natural.......whatever floats your boat, since you can afford that rich stuff. i've tried a vegan cheese i bought from trader joe's on rte. 202, and i found it to be rather mild in flavor. in fact, too mild... maybe cheddar or other flavor would have had more of a flavor punch. i have been trying to switch to vegan cheese for years. i've tried several different brands and none of them worked for me. in my opinion, they don't taste anything like regular cheese. i've started using goat's milk cheese instead. it's not vegan, but it's a bit healthier. it depends..
so far the vegan "cheese" I've tried taste really good. and you gotta read the labels on it; if it actually melts it'll say so. Vegan cheese is not as tasty as the real thing. But many vegans find it satisfactory as the rest of there diet is very bland and tasteless by comparison. However, studies have indicated that vegan cheese is difficult for the body to digest and is harmful to the liver and kidneys if eaten to excess. But not to worry if you eat it in moderation. And by the way, it does not melt as good as genuine cheese. Good luck to you.
