As with dairy-free milk, dairy-free cheese products vary in taste among brands, but whether you’re after a cheddar block, mozzarella shreds, marinated feta, or cream cheese, you’ll find one to your liking.
For a mild but reliable ‘all-rounder’ cheesy substitute, BioCheese shreds, blocks, slices, feta, parmesan and cream cheese are the most readily available between Coles, Woolworths, and independent grocers. Cheer Plant-based, Made with Plants, and Sheese mozzarella shreds and cheddar slices are also at supermarkets and perfect for gooey, melty toasties or pizza toppers. And Melbourne-made marinated feta from YAY! Foods is a creamy winner on Coles shelves.
For more artisanal cheeses, check out Fine Cultures, Botanical Cuisine, The Vegan Dairy, Artisa, NuDairy, Dilectio, and Milkless, available at specialty stores and online. This list is by no means exhaustive – there’s a whole world of delicious, dairy-free delights just waiting to hit your next cheese board!
