As someone who is not Vegan but has Vegan in laws, the only vegan cheese that actually tasted very similar to dairy cheese was CHAO, I've tried all others mentioned in this video. The only other cheese I would recommend is the follow your heart provolone, all smoked vegan cheeses are overwhelming.

@MakeItDairyFree 5 лет назад

Thanks for commenting your opinion! I love hearing what other people think because obviously all our taste buds differ! I haven't tried FYH provolone yet, I'll have to fix that!

@IreneSidede 4 года назад

I just got that brand today cause I'm lactose intolerant so my taste test is today! I hope I like it cause I love cheese and it was not cheap.

@ajbratley9082 4 года назад

Follow your heart American is great for my nostalgia! It tastes just like craft singles which is what I used to make all my grilled cheeses with.

@Katzykeens 2 года назад

I was never big on smoked cheeses--dairy or not. Cheese was always perf to me without smoking it. o3o Chao is one of the more high end cheeses :3 violife is pretty good too, depending on which one you try

Beautiful music...very soothing voice! Follow your heart should hire you as their spoke person! Thank you for helping all of us out by taste testing the cheeses! I always wondered about those brands. For years I have been hooked on Whole foods' smoked Gouda for my grilled cheese sandwich...that's budget friendly for me. Thanks very much!

I don't know: I remember the rare times I had cheap white bread and Kraft--aptly named--singles, or, worse, government cheeze, and all but the worst vegan cheeses beat those, IMO.

these are amazing i love vegan grilled cheese with the right cheese cant tell a difference...the only thing is these company really have to add some protein even if its just one gram of protein they really should do that.,.... im sure one gram wouldnt alter the taste or make it chalky and if you have 3 slices thats 3 grams of protein at least which is better than 0.

I actually hate that “cheese pull” is a thing.. vegan or not, I don’t want to be chewing on stringy cheese 🤮 I’m not a fan of vegan cheese in the least flavor wise, but I love the fact when melted there’s no “cheese pull”. Why the hell is that a staple for good cheese? I’ve actually thrown up from cheese that pulls like that so I’m positive there’s others out there looking for the cheese that has zero pull. Love vegan cheese for this but they gotta get their flavor together. Cold texture too. Sorry for the unpopular opinion but I’ll never eat any cheese that has a cheese pull to it, no thanks, hard pass
