YES. Thank you. I’m really sick of fellow vegans saying “It’s 202(3). Stop complaining about vegan cheese, it’s great now.” No. No, it’s not. It’s still pretty awful, by and large. Anyone saying that either never loved cheese to begin with or are deluding themselves. Some of the artisanal soft cheeses are fantastic (sup Bestie’s cheese case), but I’ve yet to find a really good vegan hard cheese or mozzarella on the market. Miyoko’s is the best readily buyable store brand by far, but the real deal is from scratch kitchens like yours or Scratch House/Donna Jean’s — and one of the keys to both of your successes is not trying to pretend that it’s traditional dairy cheese. Psyched to try New Culture and other cow free dairy options once they’re available, but y’all are leading the pack.

I'm glad you're so honest about the texture and flavor. I hate when people are trying to make it seem like it's so good, when it kind of sucks. Haha. Just cause I don't eat dairy doesn't mean I'm gonna put up with something subpar. I'd rather do no cheese than vegan cheese at times. Except at Hot Tongue. XD

I agree. I think Miyokos liquid is the best! But my next pizza I am going to make your cheez 😉

[KatVegan]

Agree, (way) less is more with every vegan cheese. 🍕 I had actually given up on even using “cheese” and just focus on sauce, fresh herbs and vegetables, but I’m curious to try the Miyokos liquid! Thank you 😸

You have to remember that real cheese came first. And everybody uses it as the benchmark. But vegan cheese is new and different. It doesn't have to be something it is not to be delicious.

Try the new oat milk Daiya. We like it a lot.

What was the size of the measuring cup?

[chadguindon]

As a vegetarian, I have decided to try vegan mozzarella cheese (Daiya) and I totally hated it.

[italianprincess]

daiya switched their formula in 2015 and it was terrible and they did it again recently. it just doesnt melt and it's plasticy and sticks to ur teeth. i cant wait to try your homemade mozz

I can't stand the weird flavor and gummy & waxy stuff they put in in many of vegan cheeses out there. The only brand I use is Miyoko's and my own homemade vegan cheese . Miyoko's butter is also the game changer for the vegans! Tastes amazing with that cultured butter flavor and bakes beautifully🤩
