Daiya Vegan Cheese Shreds, 5 lb. Mozzarella

It tastes okay and it melts okay. Not as good as soy cheese or rice cheese, but good enough for me to eat when I'm absolutely craving cheese.

I have found Daiya cheese to be tasty and it works well in cooking for cheese replacement, melts well.

We Love it and We recommend it to Everyone and We Will Buy More.

So far, Daiya is the only vegan cheese, which I truly don't like.Has an artificial taste.I tried some myself, and also tried a pizza at Whole Foods with it and hated every bite.So Delicious and Go Veggie and Follow Your Heart and every other brand seemed to not have the artificial flavor.It was the first vegan cheese I chose and I am placing this review, because I am afraid people won't succeed at vegan if they start here.

My daughter has a severe milk allergy and goes in to anaphylactic shock when she has any contact with dairy. In our area ALL of the cheese alternatives contain casein which is deadly to those with milk allergy...apparently casein is what gives cheese it's stringy and melted quality. Fortunately, my friend from Oakland has Daiya shredded cheeses available in her area and brought us some. My 5 year old daughter got to experience her first grilled cheese sandwich today! It melted and grilled up exactly like the grilled cheese from my childhood! I am now on the internet searching for a place that ships out Daiya shredded cheeses. We're looking forward to adding this cheese to a Papa Murphy's take and bake pizza which is dairy free when not topped with cheese. Daiya shredded cheddar is amazing and to quote my daughter, "It's like I'm not allergic to milk anymore!"

I love this product, both flavors. I think the cheddar flavor is a cross between American and cheddar but I love it. I can not eat dairy or soy products without becoming extremely ill. Now I can have toasted cheese sandwiches! I can have mac and cheese! I am very happy to be able to eat them again. I have missed cheese so much, this is huge for me. I have also tried almond cheese but to me it has no flavor, great texture, but no flavor. Daiya is much, much tastier.

We love this cheese, but we bought this bag at the store for $8.99 at the wholesale price. It's crazy that vegan food can be marked up 10x the price. Great cheese, just a ridiculous price.

We bought this for my son who's on a dairy-free diet. He loves it on his pizza and burgers. I think it will work really well for cheese sauces too. I'm anxious to give it a try in his mac & cheese. I tried my son's pizza and it definitely has a cheddar taste. The only difference I noticed was the texture. It's smooth and silky-like. But, other than that, it's amazing how close it tastes like cheese! Even my daughter, who's not on the diet, wants to use it! It's great to have something that a person on a restricted diet can use, and still feel like they're not being cheated out of their cheese!
