    Go Veggie Vegan Parmesan is a Cheesy Grated Style Topping

    5
    By Alisa Fleming on January 23, 2015 Dairy-Free Cheese Substitute Reviews, Product Reviews

    I adore homemade dairy-free parmesan – just a few ingredients and so much flavor. But it was neat to try Go Veggie Vegan Parmesan. It looks SO much like the grated Parmesan cheese in those ubiquitous Kraft canisters. In fact, we thought Go Veggie Dairy-Free Parmesan was even spot on with texture and mouth feel. It was pretty darn close on taste, too.

    For testing cheese alternatives, I always try to enlist someone who eats dairy, but is open to dairy-free foods. Our dairy taster agreed with me that this is a seriously impressive cheese alternative with broad appeal and versatility. However, we both thought it was a little lacking in pungency. The flavor seemed to get lost easily when used as a topping on bold-flavored dishes, like slow-simmered spaghetti made with fresh tomatoes and olives.

    Please note that my photo show purple packaging. The product now has green packaging with “vegan” labels at top, like shown in the smaller images below.

    When I tried it, they only had one variety available, but it looks like Go Veggie has added a soy-free variety. The two formulas are quite different, so be sure to mention which one you tried when you leave your rating and review below!

    Vegan topper for everyday meals

    Rated 4 out of 5
    February 21, 2019

    Identical in looks and pretty close in taste to its dairy counterpart, these cheesy little crumbs are a fun vegan topper for everyday meals if soy protein is on your “can eat” list. I enjoyed the taste, but found it a touch mild, getting lost atop a bowl of boldly-flavorful spaghetti. Our dairy-eating taster confirmed that this is an impressive cheese alternative, but could be just a bit more pungent.

      This really fools me into thinking it is real parmesan and it even melts a little! It tastes really good and once you open it, it lasts a long time. We have made garlicky cheesy bread and put it on pasta and potatoes and such. It is one of the best cheese alternatives I have ever had!

      • Alisa Fleming on May 11, 2015 4:18 pm

        Curious about the melting – I hadn’t tried it on much hot food – thanks for sharing Emily!

      Do you think the “Natural Vegan flavors” are nut and peanut free?

      • Alisa Fleming on February 27, 2015 7:12 am

        You would need to contact the manufacturer on that Leela.
