Vegan cheese

Gnocchi made with vegan cheese

Vegan cheese is a non-dairy or plant cheese analogue aimed at vegans and others who want to avoid animal products, including those who are lactose-intolerant.[1] As with plant milk, vegan cheese can be made of soybeans, rice, almonds and other nuts, and nutritional yeast.

Vegan cheese is cholesterol-free and may be a good source of soy protein. Several brands melt in the way dairy cheese does. Popular brands include Biocheese, Cheezly, Daiya, Teese and Tofutti.
