    Miyoko’s Cultured Vegan Cheese Debuts in Nut-Free Slices, Shreds, and Blocks

    0
    By Alisa Fleming on April 23, 2020 Discontinued Products, Product Reviews

    After a detour into more mainstream products, Miyoko decided to go back to their artisan roots. So Miyoko’s Cultured Vegan Cheese alternatives in Slices, Shreds, and Blocks have been discontinued. But they are still making their revolutionary Liquid Mozzarella, popular Vegan Mozz, classic Cheese Wheels, basic Cream Cheese Spreads, and unique Roadhouse Cheese Spreads.

    Miyoko is well known for her nutty dairy-free artisan cheeses with short ingredient lists, but she’s vying for a bigger audience with her latest product collection. Miyoko’s Cultured Vegan Cheese is initially launching in everyday slices and shreds, with blocks on the way, and is more of a formula-based cheese alternative. In line with the trends, it’s nut-free and boasts oat milk, legumes, and coconut oil as key ingredients.

    Miyoko's Cultured Vegan Cheese Slices, Shreds, and Blocks information and reviews - dairy-free, nut-free, and made with oat milk!As you can see, Miyoko has removed the word “cheese” from the label of her latest product line, but she’s still in a battle with the California Ag Department over the use of “dairy” words. And quite frankly, we aren’t sure what else to call it besides vegan cheese alternative! Cultured vegan doesn’t really get the picture across.

    Miyoko’s Cultured Vegan Cheese Slices its way into the Mainstream

    According to Miyoko, these cheese alternatives are made for melting and taste similar to their dairy counterparts. They’re intended to perform perfectly in quesadillas, grilled cheese sandwiches, and on pizza! But you be the judge. Leave your review and rating below once you’ve bought and tried this product.

    Didn't like the cheddar

    Rated 2 out of 5
    October 11, 2021

    I don’t like the taste or color of this ‘cheddar’. I love all the Miyoko’s products I have tried so far, but not this one. I can’t even use it for grilled cheese sandwiches because I hate the taste so much and the color is brownish and dark. I didn’t mind the cheddar spread at all and I love the cream cheese with chives and the mozzarella was very good when fresh.

    I don’t like the idea that is has yeast extract. It is a form of MSG. THATS WHY I AM ADDICTED.

    Does not melt, is not creamy, has a sour flavor, and the texture is really unpleasant.

    I have always enjoyed Miyoko’s Double Cream Chive and Un-Lox Your Dreams, but her attempt at mainstream blocks, slices, and shreds pale in comparison… just more plant based cheese wannabes that don’t quite make it. Stick to Violife for those.

    Melts and tastes just like dairy cheese!

    I was amazed with the creamy pepperjack slices that melted beautifully, with a delicious taste that is so much like traditional dairy cheese! So good for grilled cheeses, shredded into tacos or burritos, or even just to eat on their own!

    I don’t like cheese slice alternatives, and I don’t eat dairy, so I’ve been living without grilled cheese and quesadillas for a long time.

    I also don’t care for the fact that most cheese alternatives are 99.9% oils, but this cheddar cheese has a lot more substance to it.

    I swear it tastes like real cheese, and it ACTUALLY melts. Yay!!!

    Insanely delicious, especially the block form! I converted three people to vegan cheese with the farmhouse block tonight. The other vegan with me was shocked it was actually vegan, freaked out needing to see the label, was relieved, then finally elated. Great stuff!

    I have tried the cheddar shreds on tacos. haven’t tried melting it but I don’t see it being an issue if making a cheese sauce. This so far has been the best flavor that is cheese like so far and is soy free.

    Flavorful

    Rated 4 out of 5

    So far, I like everything Miyoko’s, when I see something new by this company I will try it because it will likely be tasty. I’m not sure what happened to my usual brand of shredded vegan but it lost flavor and I’ve just stopped eating it altogether so when I saw this on the Whole Foods site I got both slices and shreds. It has a taste, melts well, and the shreds are better than others I’ve tried. My only criticism is that they could be sharper, you get a nice flavor but no bite so I’m hoping they will tweek at least the cheddar. I will be buying these from now on and recommend trying them.
