FAQs

Is vegan cheese healthy?

It can be part of a balanced diet. Check nutrition labels: some options prioritise wholefood bases (nuts, legumes, rice) while others are formulated for melt and stretch. Choose varieties that suit your goals (e.g., protein, lower saturated fat) and enjoy in moderation.

How do I make vegan cheese?

Most home recipes blend a base (e.g., cashews, tofu or oats) with acid (lemon, vinegar), salt, and seasonings, then thicken using heat, agar or tapioca. Fermented versions add cultures for tang and depth; set in the fridge, then slice or spread.

Does vegan cheese melt?

Some do. Brands like Mozzarisella are designed to melt smoothly for pizza, pasta and paninis, while aged artisan styles focus more on flavour and slicing. Check product notes for “melts” or “for cooking.”

Can you freeze vegan cheese?

Often yes, especially blocks and grated styles, though texture can become slightly drier or more crumbly after thawing. Freeze airtight, defrost in the fridge, and use in cooked dishes. Always follow the guidance on each product’s packaging.

Does vegan cheese have lactose?

No - vegan cheese is dairy-free, so it’s naturally lactose-free. Always review allergen information for any “may contain” traces due to manufacturing environments.
