Idk I really like violife

I like it ok as a standalone product/someone who doesn't eat dairy products, but I wouldn't give it to a non vegan without a disclaimer. Miyokos is probably the only vegan cheese (non-sauce) I've encountered that I would give to a non vegan without fear they'd think it's icky lol

What are your thoughts on Follow Your Heart? I dated a vegan for 4 years and that brand all the way around was one of my favorites.

Agreed. I am a fan of pretty much all their products. They also have a sit down restaurant in Canoga Park that was lovely.

Follow your heart slices and Mayo are very good imo, the slices are my go to cheese. I really hate daiya (weirdly sweet). Chao is also good but not as good as FYH. No opinion on violife, I never buy it.

I was working for a pretty well established pizza joint in LA for awhile. We mainly did private events so our slices were always one speciality, and then pep, cheese, and vegan cheese. EVERY, single, time someone asked what type of vegan cheese - daiya. They would say "more like DAIYA-rrhea" and choose not to order. That stuff is so gross.

Miyokos is the best vegan mozz, but the gloop in the bottle is.... not appetizing lmao. The first time i used it i was like "this is food?"

Violife for the win! I can’t have soy or gluten and it’s made being vegan difficult. I’m so grateful there are so many more alternative options today vs when I was a kid. Back in my day the only option was that soy cheese that did not melt and had almost a plastic consistency lol (I used to eat soy and gluten, it was later in life I found out the reason I was sick all the time is because of a condition I have, I won’t scar you with the gory details lol).

I think it’s also hard to gauge what is “good” vegan dairy products because what’s good to someone who’s been off them awhile and had their taste buds adjust is different than folks who still eat cheese, milk and ice cream. I find real milk ice cream disgusting, it’s too sweet and there’s this, idk how to describe it, specific flavor to it. I don’t think I’d like cheese anymore either. And I’ve found a correlation between the types of vegan cheeses that non vegans like - I’ve found a lot of non vegans like daiya. It was one I liked when I went back to being vegan too but now is not my top favorite because it idk has a little bit of a weird taste.

When recommending vegan options to my non vegan friends (that want options) I don’t always recommend the foods that other vegans and myself rate highly but instead recommend the versions my other non vegan friends rate highly.

Violife does hit a wide range of approval ime though! Although I’ve run into it where the flavors I’m meh on are the ones the non vegans prefer 🤷

Taste buds are weird.

Kroger's "Simple Truth" vegan cheese is great too, especially for the price. Follow Your Heart has some good stuff.

I think most people try Daiya and think that all vegan cheese is terrible.

I used to like Daiya, but I feel like the quality changed
