Just in time for school, one of America’s top allergen-free cheese alternative companies has launched a snackable line. Good Planet Plant-Based Cheese Wedges are individually wrapped in single servings, like popular Laughing Cow cheeses, but each bite is completely dairy-free and vegan. They reportedly have a creamy texture, and come in three classic flavors: original, smoked gouda, and pepper jack.

Each wedge is about 1/3 ounce – perfectly portioned for lunchboxes, and a great accompaniment to other snacks. Once you buy and try any of the flavors, be sure to leave your unbiased rating and review below!

Waxy, off putting
Really unpleasant texture and flavor. Nothing like Gouda in any way. I really did not care for this. It was sort of slimy and waxy and had a strange aftertaste.
Gouda is good-a.
I have only tried the Gouda. While it is gooda, it gets only 4 stars because it tastes more like a cheddar to me. But great texture and taste. Do wish is were more affordable.
Smoked Gouda
Smoked Gouda tastes delicious, bacony
Good firmness but tastes like scented eraser
Love Good Planet overall and was so excited to see vegan cheese wedges as I really miss them. I tried the original flavor. Hopefully they’ll be able to fine-tune it so that it doesn’t have that odd kind of fake side-taste to it. I like their other cheeses a great deal (sliced ones).
