This plant-based company is about more than savory cheese alternatives. They’ve also created a line of dairy-free desserts. OATzarella Cheesecakes are on the nutritious side, with an organic gluten-free oat filling and flaxseed crust. But they still promise vegan and allergy-friendly indulgence in two classic flavors.
OATzarella Cheesecakes take a Sweet Slice of the Allergen Free Market
We’ve seen several dairy-free cheesecakes come and go over the years, but none quite like this. According to OATzarella, their cheesecake formula was created by pastry chefs, and it uniquely uses from-scratch oat milk and extra-virgin olive oil. Once you buy and try either flavor (or both!), be sure to leave your own unbiased rating and review below.

AWFUL!!!!
This is nothing like cheesecake. As others have states, it has an awful, slimy texture. I can’t even begin to explain how disgusting this is.
Dull and Not Worth the Price
I bought this from my store’s clearance section after seeing it $14 for months. I still paid around the same as a Daiya for it. I left it frozen to try it and it was such a letdown. I bought the chocolate and expected something on par with good quality vegan ice cream. This wasn’t like cheesecake at all and nearly tasteless. I wish I”d read these reviews first. After one piece, I’m trashing the rest. I’ll stick with Daiya.
Disgusting
This was so bad! I wanted to like it I just couldn’t. I am so surprised this made it on the supermarket shelves.. makes you wonder if they tested this product. Save your money!!!!
Really bad!!!
Very disappointing- should not be classified as a cheesecake.
I am very surprised any chef of any reputation would attempt to pass off this as a legitimate alternative to cheesecake. There are other alternatives that would be a five star compared to this. Even when defrosted as directed, it tasted watery and was not close to being creamy.
Gross
I tried both the chocolate and the original – the original is just plain disgusting it tastes like chemicals!!!!! The chocolate taste was more palatable. The texture when defrosted is rubbery. Better to consume while frozen. This product is priced at $8.99 at Sprouts for 2. I could spend that same amount for an piece of vegan cheesecake from a restaurant that’s 10 times better.
The most disgusting flavor& Texture
Gross…just gross. Rubbery “cheesecake” and stringy & slimy “crust”. Took 3 bites and threw the rest in the trash. I don’t get the slimy factor…I mean what? Ewww! As far as the taste, I don’t know what it tastes like, I can describe it easily. I would guess coconut mixed with grass clippings sprinkled with something sour. Truly gross. Fire your taste testers or development team because they either didn’t taste this before putting it on the market or they have no sense of taste.
Awful
It is absolutely disgusting and actually tastes like chemicals.
CONSISTENTLY MOLDED SHREDS
I am livid! For the second time, I have purchase OATzarella from Mom’s Organic Market (MOM’s), and it is molded in the unsealed package well before its expiration date printed on the package. At least, with the first bag, I saw the mold on top once I opened the bag.
I didn’t remove all the shreds from the bag; otherwise, I may have discovered it before baking my pizza. If it’s not bad enough that I paid $6 for the bag, then also consider that I have also lost a cauliflower crust, pizza sauce, pepperoni and olives to this poor quality product. I will NEVER buy it again and strongly urge you all to reconsider purchasing it.
Absolutely awful
Has nothing to do with Cheesecake and tastes terrible.
Disgusting and inedible
This cheesecake was the worst I’ve ever sampled. My son, his wife, and I took one bite, spit it out, and threw the entire expensive product in the trash. Tasted like curdled raisins; raisins not listed in ingredients. I’ll stick with my own homemade vegan gluten free cheesecake, thank you very much.
