An explanation of Nurish's animal-free dairy protein: They use a process called precision fermentation. This process has actually been used for many years in many products such as insulin for pharma or a lot of rennet on the market (in animal-derived cheese). Precision fermentation DOES NOT USE CELLS FROM ANIMALS!!! This is important for vegans to know! Cells like yeast or bacteria are genetically modified so that instead of producing a protein they would typically produce, they will produce something like whey or casein. The whey, casein, etc. that is produced is then separated from these genetically modified cells. So what you are eating is chemically identical to whey, it just had no animal involved in the process :) and for those concerned with GMOs, you aren't actually eating the genetically modified part :)
Totally correct information. It basically turns a one-celled organism into a little factory to churn out a product by inserting the genetic coding for that product into the organism.You don't actually consume the genetically engineered yeast, but only the protein it makes. The term GMO is very scary for some and there are some very scary uses for the process. But there are also some very wonderful uses. It is a complex subject that many folks don't truly understand because there can be a lot of unfamiliar scientific jargon used when describing the process which can be difficult to unravel if you don't have a science background or understand genetics. But this seems like a great use to me and is totally vegan, as these organisms are classified as neither animals or plants.
Thank you for the explanation. I’ll be staying clear of it as if it takes that much explaining from a company and is that confusing then it’s probably not something to consume. Just my thought. Loved the video and all the info.
Was fun seeing you in this video, Eric! I watch you and Sarah on your channel all the time. Such great videos! As a former New Yorker, your perspective was especially insightful! :)
Thank you for the kite hill mold comment! I tried to leave a review on Amazon saying an in date kite hill product was moldy and they wouldn’t publish it. So many times I’ve wasted money on kite hill that was moldy.
I refuse to try the vegan Philadelphia cream cheese since it is made with bad cheap ingredients here in the US. I would be willing to try the UK version of the vegan Philadelphia cream cheese since it is made with better quality ingredients.
I pretty much agree with all of these except Tofutti, I love Tofutti still! it's simple and non-offensive, and has the perfect textrure, IMO (just missing some of the cream cheese tanginess).
My son will only eat Tofutti. I like Myokos and Kite Hill. I love the intense tang, and I LOVE that their not made with coconut oil. They both make great cream cheese frosting that doesn't melt. ❤
With Philadelphia, Oatly and Tabitha Brown out with new cream cheese, I see a part 2 in the future. Loved seeing how when compared, something you thought was you fav wasn’t as good as you thought!
Tabitha Brown’s cream cheeses at Target were super delicious, I’m so sad that her food was limited edition! I also really love Isa Chandra’s white bean cream cheese recipe. It’s not like it would fool anyone, but it has all the creamy/tangy notes I want from a cream cheese and it doesn’t feel like you’re just eating spoonfuls of oil like it sometimes can with vegan cheeses
8:09. What is up with the Kite Hill mold?!? Twice I bought, one molded before I opened it and the other molded within two or three days of opening even though the best buy date was well into the future. I was afraid to try a third time. It is quite expensive but luckily Hannaford took it back both times!
Daiya, Tofutti and Kite Hill cream cheeses are the most available to me. On another note, how about a video on making cheese cake out of vegan cream cheese?
So cool! I'm boycotting Miyoko altogether since what they've done to the brand's creator. But I'm curious to test some of the other brands you mentioned 😊
@@VerifiedVegan The board voted to terminate Miyoko Schinner from her position as CEO (saying she doesn't have what it takes to make the company grow). After demoting her from the position, they fired her from the company. To make things worse, they sued her for stealing the company's proprietary recipes and plant-based culture configurations (aka. Her own recipes! She can't use them anymore).
They forget vegans have morals, right? The company is getting a lot of backlash from the vegan community for what they've done to the vegan OG Miyoko S.. Miyoko Schinner had to sue the company back (for gender and age discrimination, also for misusing her name and image), which is very heartbreaking to her... imagine doing that to the company you created and love so much?
In Europe , there is Violife Greek style cream cheese, hands down the best cream cheese ever. Back in States Trader Joe's cream cheese was mostly used, and there is I think tree line or something like that , you guys can buy at Fred Meyer, good too.
sooo happy to see Destiney on your channel!! personally, I like to use the boursin garlic and herb spread. it spreads like a whipped cream cheese would and the flavor is fantastic.
My favorite store-bought cream cheese is Miyoko's (plain, lox, and everything bagel), although it's much more tart than dairy cream cheese. For homemade cream cheese, my favorite is Hot for Food's tofu cream cheese. Very inexpensive and *so* good.
Haha, I hear ya! I'm partial to Kite Hill these days. I love it on its own merit more so than its likeness to dairy cream cheese. Tofutti scores higher on that count. :)
I had Violife cream cheese and Tofutti cream cheese side by side, and I was so surprised to realize that Tofutti was more flavorful. Violife is usually my top pick, but their cream cheese really flopped compared to Tofutti.
Something I noticed when you guys were trying them….Good planet was also whipped……..so I think we need to retest them and whip them all first. Because I know from experience just mixing essential oils into coconut oil and whipping it makes it so creamy and fluffy and way different then what it was solid and hard before. And me thinking about all this makes me going to experiment. And whip my cream cheese as well. So try again please!!! I want to know if that works. Maybe even do the add on on some like chives etc
I am SCREAMING at the Long Island shade. I love her 😂 us in the 5 boroughs really do feel like that! “What’s in Long Island? Is that New York?!” ☠️👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 (For the record I’ve been to LI multiple times and have some fam that moved out there… I still don’t know wth is out there 😂 ) “It looks like Portland in a tub” ☠️ yoooo No I’m srsly in love 😂
Awesome. I'm all for the vegan dairy one and would like to try it and am happy it's a non-cow option. BUT, since giving up dairy I no longer have allergies which is AWESOME, so for that reason I'll probably try it only once for curiosity sake.
As a fellow NYer, I loved this video so much lol. My favorite vegan cream cheese for years was the old Tofutti variety with the white container and blue lid, not the yellow container and lid that eventually replaced it. I think the old one had trans fats, so it was discontinued, but it tasted the best and I remember it tasting very similar to dairy cream cheese. Kite Hill then became my new favorite that was available in stores, but after also getting 3 moldy containers in a row last year I stopped buying it 🤢 Still looking for something better, but every other brand I've tried just doesn't taste as good. I really want to try the Good Planet and Nurishh ones now after watching this!
Tofutti had two options; one with non-hydrogynated fat and one with. I've never understood why anyone would choose to use anything with hydrogenated fat when it's now widely known how unhealthy it is.
Philadelphia Cream Cheese now has a plant based version. I have been searching for it but haven’t been able to find it yet. It looked just like regular cream cheese on commercials but cannot attest to that. Will continue to search. Fun video - thank you!
I'm surprised that you didn't get to try and discuss Philadelphia plant-based. Some of my family likes it but I honestly like the og Tofutti best for an authentic cream cheese texture and taste. Also Trader Joe's has had a few but I've never liked them much. For something other than plain cream cheese, my family all like Miyoko's. We've also been using other plant-based dips and spreads on bagels so that's fun too. For example Slutty Vegan has a spicy one that I'm super into.
@@Kathryn721 Actually it's readily available here in NC. Have you seen the "Slutty Vegan Bangin' Hot-lanta Side Dip"? It has cream cheese in it but it's very spicy. I love it on my bagels too! It looks like this one and the "Slutty Vegan Bangin' Spinach Artichoke Side Dip" are both available at Target stores.
I'm surprised you didn't try the new Philadelphia one! I used to go between Trader Joe's and Miyoko's, but Philadelphia has become my new go to. LOVE it. I'm pretty sure I threw away the first kite hill one I ever tried. I just couldn't. Good Planet is absolutely my favorite substitute for shredded cheese. I had no idea they made a cream cheese too and now I'm a little jealous y'all got to try it!
@@veganlunchmom I'm a newer vegan (about a year and a half now) and while I do wish it would have come to me sooner, I'm glad it happened for me during a time when there were so many good options which made it so easy to do. Kite Hill is one brand overall that from the get go I just didn't like at all unfortunately.
It’s not cream cheese but I’d love to see you guys try Nuts for Cheese. It’s from my city, London Canada. I love it. They are cashew cheeses. They also have butters and other things now but I’ve only tried the cheese.
I find mixing a little bit of Miyoko’s into a tub of Violife makes perfect vegan cream cheese-the creamy and rich texture of the Violife with a touch of the intense cultured tanginess of the Miyoko’s ftw.
Thank you for this video!! It was very entertaining and helpful. I've got to get my hands on some Good Planet! As of now, I'm partial to Kite Hill. I like the ingredients best in that. Others definitely hit the mark more on texture and probably flavor too compared to dairy cream cheese. As a former New Yorker, I definitely appreciate all the different perspectives from Eric and Destiny. Also, I don't know what cream cheese they use at Orchard Grocer in NYC, but their bagel with cream cheese and carrot lox does not disappoint!! So dang good!! 😀
Aaaahahhhhh I missed this format so much! But you are missing your non vegan friends! Now I wish I had a Seize the Bagel near me to try that cream cheese.
I believe Good Planet is only available for food service, not at stores. But Seize the Bagel isn't the only place that has it; at least in the Portland area, there are other shops that use it, and often bagel shops will sell tubs of their cream cheese.
I've gotten something moldy from Kite Hill before as well. It really sucked because I had just gotten some bagels. I was anticipating eating it when I got home. Only to be disappointed by mold.
FAV: Miyokos Unlox your dreams...used to get it at Trader Joe's ...can't find it anymore. THE best. With, onion and tomato! Sunday breakfast growing up, after Sunday School.
@@tamcon72 Their new cutting board ones are really yummy to me so maybe try them if you haven’t! I used to hate them too back before dropping dairy so trying them again years later I was shocked they actually made some pretty good strides. Have you tried their mac n cheese? Another oddly good one haha
@@jillsanders7072 I really wish I did! To me it has a weird fishy after taste so its a pass but I hope someday they make it without that cuz I otherwise really enjoy their products!
other brands to look into: spero, modern kitchen, wayfare/simple truth, moocho, philadelphia, oatly, tabitha brown, go veggie, wild creamery, follow your heart, the simple root, treeline
Wow!! Not Long Island getting ghosted. It’s literally 30 minutes from the Bronx, nevertheless anyone from New York knows good cream cheese. Love the video, your content is always good 🙂
I actually love tofutti.i like the slight sweet tofu taste. Unpopular I know but I like it. I do not like Miyoko's. It taste very sour and not like cream cheese at all.
Kite Hill is my favorite because I can't eat the coconut based versions. It doesn't really taste like cream cheese, but I like it anyway. I have noticed that the consistency has changed, it's softer (not in a better way). I have gotten several containers with moldy cream cheese over the years. I have a sensitivity yo cashews, so I haven't tried Miyoko's. I love Miyoko, though. I feel terrible about what her company's board did to her. I've been following her TH-cam show.
Does Miyoko’s taste like Oracle coffee’s cream cheese? I moved from Portland 3 years ago but still dream of that cream cheese! I’m pretty confident it’s cashew as well so I’m gonna go try Miyoko’s today!
I would buy the Tofutti cream cheese when I lived in TX in the 90's. That was the only choice back then, unless I made my own. It was good then but not any more. I agree they need to go back to their original package colors. Daiya and Violife cream cheeses are icky; WAY too heavy on the oily feel. Daiya shreds are grossly greasy but Violife shreds are the best (so far).
I've tried Miyoko's, Tofutti and Trader Joe's, and I couldn't stomach any of them. It could be that I'm just not a huge cream cheese fan. I do agree that Tofutti tastes like plastic! A friend recommended Miyoko's, but it just tasted nasty to me, lol. Thanks for this video, though! Always informative!
I just saw a different brand (Modern Kitchen) of the whey/“animal-free” cream cheese at the store recently and was so confused too but maybe I will try it lol

Kudos to Tofuti brand for being ahead of the curve. I have tried most of them, if not all of them, and I still prefer Tofutti Brand.
We would have tried the Philadelphia brand but we couldn’t find it anywhere 😭 if you tried it, let us know your thoughts! ❤
I found the Philadelphia cc and really enjoyed it in all aspects.
I refuse to try the vegan Philadelphia cream cheese since it is made with bad cheap ingredients here in the US. I would be willing to try the UK version of the vegan Philadelphia cream cheese since it is made with better quality ingredients.
It’s fine… texture isn’t great but flavor is ok!

Tabitha Brown by Target “Caramelized Onion” Vegan Cream Cheese HAS BECOME MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE Dairy-free Cream Cheese!! Try it, Jaz!!!
OMG yes... I hope they bring it back
It was delicious!!! They should sell it year round! I had it and it’s been my favorite vegan cream cheese!!
Oh, good to know, Dana! I haven't tried it yet, but going to Target today so maybe I'll pick some up. :)
Hopefully I can find it her stuff doesn’t stay on the shelf long at my local target
I missed taste tests so much! This was fun to watch and im actually going to try one of the top rated brands

Love Destiny so much 😆 thanks for this! Vegan cream cheese is sometimes a struggle, so this was helpful
Kite hill is by far my 100% best favorite, from both flavor (mild) to texture. If you liked whipped cream cheese, that’s the one
Absolutely agree on the whippy texture of the Kite Hill! I love it as-is, but I think it has tons of potential for fun additions.
So cool!

I'm allergic to coconut so I haven't tried any vegan cream cheese. Where I live, in Atlantic Canada, our options are very limited.
have you tried teeline brand their vegan goat cheese is really good and really clean ingredient no oil
I actually love tofutti.i like the slight sweet tofu taste. Unpopular I know but I like it. I do not like Miyoko's. It taste very sour and not like cream cheese at all.
Where did you guys find the nourish one?
Kite Hill is my favorite because I can't eat the coconut based versions. It doesn't really taste like cream cheese, but I like it anyway. I have noticed that the consistency has changed, it's softer (not in a better way). I have gotten several containers with moldy cream cheese over the years.
I have a sensitivity yo cashews, so I haven't tried Miyoko's. I love Miyoko, though. I feel terrible about what her company's board did to her. I've been following her TH-cam show.
The So Delicious Chive and Onion is really good.
Does Miyoko’s taste like Oracle coffee’s cream cheese? I moved from Portland 3 years ago but still dream of that cream cheese! I’m pretty confident it’s cashew as well so I’m gonna go try Miyoko’s today!
I would buy the Tofutti cream cheese when I lived in TX in the 90's. That was the only choice back then, unless I made my own. It was good then but not any more. I agree they need to go back to their original package colors. Daiya and Violife cream cheeses are icky; WAY too heavy on the oily feel. Daiya shreds are grossly greasy but Violife shreds are the best (so far).
Should've tried Treeline. It's the best vegan cream cheese I've tasted.
pls tell sarah who only uses violife cheese that i am also sarah who only uses violife cheese
Where can you get the good planet one?
I use the TJ cream cheese on my pizzas! It’s so good and accessible.
I've tried Miyoko's, Tofutti and Trader Joe's, and I couldn't stomach any of them. It could be that I'm just not a huge cream cheese fan. I do agree that Tofutti tastes like plastic! A friend recommended Miyoko's, but it just tasted nasty to me, lol. Thanks for this video, though! Always informative!
The earthling co hair prods are SUPER fragrance. Know that.
I just saw a different brand (Modern Kitchen) of the whey/“animal-free” cream cheese at the store recently and was so confused too but maybe I will try it lol
Where is modern kitchen cream cheese?
I freeze the trader joes cream cheese and the resulting texture is like ricotta. So thats how I use it. Davita
