Cheese. It is the one thing that people say they miss most when they can no longer consume dairy. Thank god there are many scientists out there working hard to make a replacement that is comparable. One thing you will notice if you look closely is that the dairy-free cheese is often much healthier for you in that they do not usually contain the long-chain saturated fats that regular cheese has. Some people are choosing the vegan cheeses for health reasons even when they can digest cheese with no problem!I found this article on the "Go Dairy Free" blog which does an analysis of all the substitute cheeses out there in the stores. Makes life a little easier!

Hmmm. I will have to look for "Cheezly." I've only eaten "Follow Your Heart" and find it works best when melted under the oven broiler after my pizza is otherwise ready.
ReplyDeleteWhile not vegan, most Kraft cheeses are surprisingly lactose-free. It has been very handy to have the cheese slices or shredded cheese around, since those who are not allergic to dairy don't notice a difference.
