    Daiya Cutting Board Shreds add Dairy-Free Parmesan and Mexican 4-Cheeze

    0
    By Alisa Fleming on January 14, 2022 Dairy-Free Cheese Substitute Reviews, Product Reviews

    Many people don’t realize that Daiya Foods came out with a second line of dairy-free cheese shreds a few years ago. Don’t worry, their classic shreds are still available. They met with too much backlash when they underwent formula changes previously, so they decided to keep those around and leave them as is. But Daiya Cutting Board Shreds are now the core collection, both in stores and at restaurants. And Daiya has recently developed two new varieties: Dairy-Free Parmesan and Mexican 4-Cheeze.

    Note: The packaging of the two dairy-free cheese shred lines is very similar. But the Cutting Board Shreds have a more colorful front label and specifically state “Cutting Board Collection” on the front.

    We tried Daiya Cutting Board Shreds and were impressed with the “melt.” They get quite ooey and gooey atop nachos, pasta, pizza, and more, but were a little sticky too. They reformulated in early 2020, and some of the stickiness seems to be gone. The ingredients below reflect the new formula.

    The flavor seemed on par with their Classic Shreds for us. Both tasted good, in small doses. We found that using a light hand when sprinkling added enough cheesy flavor without overwhelming the dish. But tell us what you think! Once you’ve tried them, leave your own rating and review below.

    Additional Allergen Notes*

    Some Daiya products are made in a shared facility with dairy-containing products. But their shreds are reportedly made in their own dairy-free, allergy-friendly facility. They also test for the presence of gluten. The new formula (updated in 2020 and shown above) does contain chickpea protein. Some people with peanut allergies have cross-reactivity with other legumes. Always consult a physician regarding food allergy concerns.

    Obvious Change For the Worse

    Bought shreds after not having for a while. Oily as heck. Brittle and grainy when eaten plain. When melted, it only sticks to itself, and forms an oily glob of cheese matter. No longer tastes like anything, even the pepperjack. After 2 bags I finally decided to check if they changed recipes again. Yep. Guess I’ll just stick to the blocks until they change recipes again.

    The new improved version stinks and everybody I know agrees!

    I have been eating Daiya cheese for many years… Basically as soon as they began creating their cheese. At that point in time everybody loved it and the pizzas that were made with it were awesome. Now they have a new and “improved”??.?.! !!! Version… NOT!!! It smells and taste like plastic. You can leave it open in the refrigerator and it will not spoil. For an entire year! All the restaurants in LA that use this cheese on their milk free pizzas are losing business and the most popular ones that were previously a total hit have closed down! It’s not selling in the health food stores and it causes stomach ache that last for days! I have a lot of friends who are vegan who used to love vegan, GF pizzas and now they won’t touch them as all the restaurants are using the new Dayia cheese and none of my friends can stand it! Are used to love the store-bought frozen Daya cheese pizzas as well… But now I can’t eat for a week if I even have one slice and it’s so gross! At first I didn’t know what had changed… Or why I was getting really bad stomach aches… Or why it tasted so bad… Now I know… It’s the new improved??!!? Cheese!

    This was always the best vegan cheese out there, I made all my recipes with it. This new one is terrible, it looks and taste like plastic. Please go back to the old one.

    Yuck. Why vegan and vegetarian food is so mocked and reviled. Tried mozz slices and shreds, cheddar shreds, all on pizza—all gave me terrible acid reflux (not usually an issue for me. Imagine eating American cheese with the wrapper still on

    I wondered what happened to our Daiya cheese. Both grocery stores we shop at went to the new NOT improved ingredients. It is nothing like the original which is so hard to find. Hopefully Ingles and Whole Foods will quit only carrying the cutting board.

    Awesome! Straight out of the bag, the texture and taste is not good at all. However, after melting, it tastes great and feels gooey/creamy. I just put it on some pizza and it was amazing! Melted perfectly and tasted great.

    Good in small doses

    I like the mozzarella style, but I’m not a fan of the cheddar style. And as the review states, they are best in small doses. We like to make homemade pizza with our kids and the mozzarella style is a nice substitute on my pizza when used sparingly. It melts nicely and gives just enough of a ‘cheese-like’ flavor to make me feel like I’m enjoying the real thing. I also like the mozzarella style on homemade nachos. I just can’t get on board with the cheddar style though…something about the flavor I guess.

    The Cheddar Melted on Nachos Is Wrecking My Diet

    Rated 5 out of 5
    February 5, 2020

    I picked up the cutting board cheddar after seeing the nachos on the package thinking it would suffice as a substitute for dairy-based cheddar on nachos for a super bowl snack. I typically don’t like Daiya cheeses on pizza because they have more of a creamy texture rather than the chewy texture of dairy-based mozzarella. If you’ve had Boursin cheese on pizza you will know what I mean.

    I was pleasantly surprised when I microwaved the cutting board cheddar on some nacho chips with meatless taco meat. The melt was nice and the flavor tasty. I am now obsessed with this cheese on nachos which is killing my diet.

    Might as well sprinkle your food with water starch and oil cause that’s all it tastes like.

    Not worth 5 cents much less 5 dollars.
