Vegan Cheese

Vegan cheese is a non-dairy or plant cheese aimed at vegans and others who want to avoid animal products, including the lactose-intolerant. As with plant milk, vegan cheese can be made of soybeans, rice, almonds and other nuts, and nutritional yeast.

Vegan cheese is cholesterol-free and may be a good source of soy protein. Several brands melt in the way dairy cheese does. Popular brands include Cheezly, Daiya, Teese and Tofutti.
