    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.

    Mozzarella shreds taste profile changed a few days

    Rated 2 out of 5
    January 24, 2020

    Violife Mozzarella shreds taste profile changed a few days after opening package and became not usable. Seriously disappointed because I love the smoked provolone and cheddar slices and the “Feta” (which I actually think they should market as chèvre because it’s exactly like it in every way.) I don’t know if I got a bad bag or what but it’s just to costly to chance it again and so it’s back to Daiya for that one. Very disappointed.

    I love love love violife cheeses and a plus they melt really well. I was so happy when i found a local pizzeria ising it yo make vegan pizza. My family owned several pizzerias growing up and pizza was truly the one thing i have missed (over the past 20 or so years) the most about being lactose intollerant…. Its so wonderful to enjoy great pizza again…

    Violife cheese is the closest in taste that you’ll find to “real” cheese.
    Love the cheddar slices for grilled cheese, provolone slices on grilled hamburgers, use the shredded cheese for lasagna, tacos, salads.

    We recently tried both the cheddar and mozzarella shreds. Both are quite delicious. We also bought the triangle of Parmesan. It’s yummy too and pretty close to the real cheese.

    Mozzarella cheese shreds

    Rated 4 out of 5
    January 7, 2020

    I purchased the mozzarella cheese shreds after my aunt introduced me to them. The cheese has an excellent mozzarella flavor fresh out of the bag. Having never tried a cheese substitute before I was pleasantly surprised. The kids even liked it. We used it to top our pizzas. It doesn’t brown or stretch like dairy mozzarella but still makes for a delicious topping.

    This is the closest thing I have found to true cheese. Great flavor, melts (but at a higher temperature), no weird texture. This has become my go to for cheese.

    Good cheese sub

    This has become our favorite cheese substitute. My son has loved another brand but has become sensitive to tapioca starch. I like the flavors of these. Still a fake cheese, and not the real thing, but we enjoy the texture and I like the mild taste of the mozzarella. So glad to have this option!
