    Violife Vegan Cheese Shreds come in Classic Cheesy Flavors

    0
    By Alisa Fleming on January 6, 2020 Dairy-Free Cheese Substitute Reviews, Product Reviews

    Violife Vegan Cheese Shreds are just like their Slices, but in more basic flavors. As you can see in the picture below, this cheese alternative does melt, and many report that it tastes delicious. But you be the judge! We have more information below and consumer ratings and reviews!

    Violife Vegan Cheese Shreds Reviews and Information (Dairy-Free Cheese Alternative in Mozzarella and Cheddar)

    Violife Vegan Cheese Shreds come in Classic Cheesy Flavors

    I wouldn’t be surprised if they expand to other varieties, but for now, Violife has dairy-free consumers covered with alternatives for the two most popular shredded cheese varieties.

    Cheddar

    Violife Vegan Cheese Shreds Reviews and Information (Dairy-Free Cheese Alternative in Mozzarella and Cheddar)Ingredients: filtered water, coconut oil, food starch-modified (potato & corn), corn starch, salt (sea salt), cheddar flavor (vegan sources), olive extract, paprika extract & beta carotene (color), vitamin b12, powdered cellulose added to prevent caking.*

    Nutrition (per 1/4 cup): 80 calories, 7g fat, 6g carbs, 0g fiber, 0g sugars (includes 0g added sugars), 0g protein.*

    Mozzarella

    Violife Vegan Cheese Shreds Reviews and Information (Dairy-Free Cheese Alternative in Mozzarella and Cheddar)Ingredients: filtered water, coconut oil, food starch-modified (potato & corn), corn starch, salt (sea salt), mozzarella flavor (vegan sources), olive extract, beta carotene (color), vitamin b12, powdered cellulose added to prevent caking.*

    More Allergen Notes

    We received the following very detailed and helpful information from a Violife representative about their dairy allergen protocols.

    Regarding dairy ingredients, please note that we do share lines in some parts of the production process. However, we clean our equipment VERY meticulously, with multiple allergen swab testings to confirm absence of cross-contamination with dairy. Furthermore, production samples are sent to an accredited lab for allergen analysis. Our results are consistently negative for the presence of any dairy allergens.

    Please note though that testing for absence of any dairy allergen is conducted as mentioned via multiple swab testing with a 0.4ppm* sensitivity after the weekend full cleaning. Once negative results are achieved our vegan production can commence Monday morning. We must stress that a negative result at 0.4ppm means that there is no dairy allergens present in concentration above that point.

    *PPM = part per million, or less than 0.4 mg allergen in 1 Kg of product, or less than 0.01 mg in 20gr (1 slice) of product. 1mg = One thousandth of a gram.

    As stated, the aforementioned allergens are not detectable by our testing. We have never had an issue and we export globally.

    My daughter finally had her first grilled cheese sandwich

    Rated 5 out of 5
    October 31, 2022

    For 27 years I’ve been searching for a non dairy cheese that tastes like real cheese with cheese texture and melt. Nothing that was readily available where we live measured up.

    But when we took chance on violife cheese it made all the difference. My daughter finally got to enjoy a grilled cheese sandwich for the first time in her entire 27 years. We couldn’t be happier.

    Next test, lasagna!

    Wow !!! Violife Smoke Provolone Cheese

    Rated 5 out of 5
    August 27, 2022

    I try something incredible today – vegan cheese – VioLife Smoked Provolone slice.. I love cheese from around the world and would go out of my way to find the best cheese, local artisan cheese, etc.

    My experience with vegan or vegetarian cheese are usually awful, rubbery, and lack of flavor.

    But the Violife Smoke provolone change my mind. My husband and I actually use it as part of a cheese plate for dinner. It compliment well with Danish blue cheese, English cheddar, French Brie and grape.

    Violife 100% Vegan Cheddar Shreds

    Rated 5 out of 5
    August 26, 2022

    I am not a vegan nor vegetarian, but I was looking for a healthier alternative to eating dairy cheddar (I am addicted : )) I picked up this product unsure if I could eat it. Today I made quesadillas with this cheese: 1. It melted exactly like regular cheddar. 2. Most importantly it tasted exactly like regular dairy cheddar. I will be trying it in other recipes. I wish I could add the pictures I took (mainly to show my Vegetarian daughter – since she hadn’t heard of this brand before.)

    How do you get it melt?

    Rated 3 out of 5
    May 29, 2022

    We have tried to melt the mozzarella shreds, on the stove, in the oven, on the grill, and in the microwave…we can’t seem to get it to melt…it gets hot and turns black and crunchy (burns) but doesn’t melt! Is there a secret to making it melt? Best TASTING cheese we have found…just wish it would melt!

    Best dairy free cheese

    Rated 5 out of 5
    May 14, 2022

    I’ve recently had to go dairy free for health concerns. I have tried a lot of different brands of DF cheese and this is THE one to buy! The flavour and texture is identical to real cheese. I bought the mature cheddar style slices and love it so much. It was worth the switch for me!

    Best shredded cheese yet!

    Rated 5 out of 5

    Tastes just like real cheese. And has the best shelf life of all the dairy-free shredded cheeses I’ve tried. Also, doesn’t stick to the roof of your mouth when baked on a pizza.

    I am a cheese lover. I recently had to eliminate dairy and the mozzarella and cheddar are really good. I feel like I’m eating real cheese. I haven’t tried melting it though and I’ve only tried the shreds.
