Vegan Cheese...REALLY?

Thanks to all of you for your responses!! I will look into these cheeses and information! I was beginning to think that true vegan cheese was going to be impossible to find if not cost prohibitive!!
Hello, Amy!
Follow Your Heart does make pretty good vegan cheese, and I get it at my local health food store and also Whole Foods, but my new favorite vegan cheese is the Daiya brand! It totally ROCKS! You don't have to get it in 5 lb. bags. I order mine from Pangea vegan store - website is: www.veganstore.com. I think it is like a 12 oz. bag of shreds - either Italian (mozzarella) or cheddar. It is absolutely delicious on pizza or in grilled cheese sandwiches. I hope more stores start carrying it so I don't have to do mail order. It's worth it though. Hope this helps!

Daiya cheese will now be sold commercially in 8oz bags..i got the word on Facebook...I'm so excited. It's the best non-dairy cheese I have ever had, and my non-veggie/vegan friends actually order on their pizza over motz. YAY!!!! DAIYA!!!
I have been looking for this cheese everywhere and have not found it. What stores can you get it at or is it an only online cheese? Thanks for any help :)
I just read on Facebook about them launching it as you said Sione but it also had comments about Whole Foods having it and I looked but my WF's didn't seem to carry it unless I wasn't looking in the right spot. I was looking over by all the other vegan cheese in the dairy case ???
Ok...I'm going to have to try the Daiya. Tried Follow Your Heart cheddar...and...it just didn't float my boat. Is this something that some of you have had to learn to like?
Going to WF's tomorrow. I will ask if they have the Daiya brand. I miss cheese....
Ok finally I found where the Daiya is kept at my Whole Foods. After looking for the last few trips to find it, thinking it was with all the other Vegan cheeses I broken down and finally asked someone. Right away I was graciously directed towards their cold case right inbetween where they make the pizzas and have all the deli items. . There it was in neat containers in Cheddar and Italian flavors. Of course I had to buy one of each :) I was told that they will make a pizza to order with the Daiya cheese if I'd like. Yum. Maybe next trip :) So hopefully this will help others who have been looking as I was. Oh btw the Daiya is so yummy :)
Darn wish I saw this earlier. I just got back from WF's and bought the WORST vegan cheese.. grrrrr. Next time I try Daiya :)
Hi Alabana Peach,
I too tried the Vegan cheese, american and cheddar, at Whole Foods and wasn't a big fan but felt if nothing else it was a great improvement from regular dairy cheese. I swear I was doing the happy dance when I finally found the Daiya cheese and yes it actually tastes like cheese and it's great for melting and is really cheesy. I'm sure you'll like it. My WF has one lb containers of it. Let me know how you like it next time you take a trip to WF. :)
I'm so excited as Follow Your Heart is a little gross.
