Vegan Cheese
Gone are the days of tasteless…or weird tasting vegan cheese. These days, you can head to the grocery store and end up in vegan cheese heaven!!! There are so many amazing vegan cheese options out there now!! Seriously…I still can’t get over it. As someone who dipped their toe in the vegan water in 2007, when most of the vegan cheese options were…just to be nice about it…we will go with “undesirable”…I could not be more impressed with the options today!
So if you had the unfortunate encounter with “undesirable” vegan cheese in the past…DON’T GIVE UP HOPE! Or if you are new to the plant-based cheese world and just can’t quite wrap your head around a dairy-free cheese…GIVE IT A CHANCE!
There are many delicious, vegan cheese options out there that have nailed both taste and texture…but here’s a list of some of my current go-to plant-based options.
- VEGAN FETA CHEESE
- VEGAN BLUE CHEESE
- VEGAN MOZZARELLA CHEESE
- VEGAN PARMESAN CHEESE
- VEGAN AMERICAN CHEESE

Vegan Blue Cheese (Bleu Cheese)
Blue cheese (or bleu cheese, which is the French spelling of the word), has a super unique flavor to say the least. Blue cheese can be described as salty, sharp, and pungent, with a bit of an earthy essence. It’s a cheese that may not be for everyone, but typically if you love it, you LOVE IT! I have also found that pairing it with a partner to balance it out….say rosemary agave…can turn a nay-sayer into a fan.
FOLLOW YOUR HEART VEGAN BLEU CHEESE CRUMBLES
