I've been making different cheese recipes on YouTube only to be disappointed because they don't taste at all like any cheese I used to eat. I am allergic to all dairy and miss the cheddar taste. Ingredients are expensive so before making your's can you truly say it tastes like a cheddar cheese? Thank you in advance. Your video is wonderful and you've obviously put a lot of work into your recipe.

Is the olive brine from green or black olives?
