I've been vegan for 18 years and was vegetarian 10 years before that. My first seven years vegan I just did without dairy because the fakes were all nasty. Then I discovered a couple good ones. Now there are about half a dozen vegan cheeses I buy regularly. I would like to learn to make them.
@@unknown_8588 We did not evolve binocular vision to hunt broccoli. Humans evolved away from the other apes because we took advantage of the extra nutrients and calories from meat. Our digestive tract is shorter like other meat eaters. No one advocates torture of animals but I have no problems in a swift kill for food.
I live in Switzerland and I love both of this products! I am not vegan but I love to alternate my diet. After all, for me - taste is a childhood habit. So preferring milk cheese to vegan cheese is just being more used to it.
If it tastes like cheese and is nutritious like cheese, why not? People tend to think cows are not killed for milk, but they certainly are, and thats really, really sad. I'm NOT a vegan by the way, but I welcome animal friendly alternatives wherever possible.
People seem to think that because cheese isn't animal flesh, it therefore doesn't kill the cow. They're not quite educated about what happens in the dairy industry.
My faves here in the U.S. : Daiya cheddar shreds, and mozz shreds. Follow Your Heart mozz shreds. Also their grated parmesan, Bleu crumbles, feta crumbles. Violife Parm wedge ( others of their brand have a chevre aftertaste and I hate chevre.) Daiya cheddar topped with Violife Parm and baked on a ziti tastes a bit like asiago. Tofutti cream cheese and sour cream. Earth Balance soy butter. I prefer the organic. So Delicious cashew milk salted caramel cluster ice cream. I take it out early so it gets a little melty. It will break the mind of any omnivore. They also make a topping called CoCoWhip which I sometimes eat like ice cream. LOL. Follow Your Heart Veganaisse. I prefer the grapeseed one. Just Egg for scrambling, Ener-G Egg Replacer for baking. Maple syrup instead of honey. Veganism no longer requires sacrifice. I've had multiple omnivorous chefs leave my table raving.

Great video love on the info about vegan cheese 🧀 Good luck taking on the dairy industry vegan cheese will never surpass the dairy industry. I support having vegan cheese but having it be the main source of alternative dairy not possible. The dairy industry is powerful.
Yeah man..... People you need to cycle off of dairy every now and then. Plant-based cheese may not tickle your taste buds all that much but it is definitely healthier and easier on your body. Dairy cheese would be More ideal for someone like myself who cycles on it for a more dense source of protein when I train ballistically 🏋🏻♀️
that problem was solved decades ago. Most rennet is non animal based these days even in regular dairy cheese because the quality and reliability is far better than animal based rennet.

Not chemical. They showed you how it's made. They extract the "milk" from the cashews then proceed as per usual. Watch some vegan cheesemaking vids for the home kitchen.
@@wideawake5630 Literally everything described as 'vegan cheese' has a ton of chemicals in it. Don't believe everything you see in literal propaganda videos on youtube. They're leaving plenty out
Have you tried alternative cheeses? It's literally made the same way. It would be like chocolate icing vs strawberry icing. They're both still icing. And they are getting closer and closer to really making some great alternatives. (Mozzarella is the only cheese I cannot seem to find something close) but vio life cheddar cheese slices make a BETTER grilled cheese sandwhich. I legitimately prefer that cheese. You never know! And there's so many different kinds out there now its insane. But no pressure tho! Just please don't diss it because it's labeled "vegan." Too many people think just because it's vegan it must taste horrible. And as a reference.. Oreos are vegan. So no not all vegan food tastes bad, and it's not all healthy either 😅
@@DWFood Near future is very uncertain but 100 years down the line, maybe things will be so different that the concept of producing food on land and farming animals could be completely out of discussion. The solutions we can think of right now is very limited to what we know now and can do right now so thats why we can’t tell what would be the answer in the future. We need to know what the technology available in the future can do first in order to see what has a place in our future and what doesn’t.
@@DWFood I do believe it has a place in the not too distant future. Many people, especially in the USA, do not realize that for many years, they have been consuming plant based cheese with their hamburgers from the traditional (internationally known) burger joints (not want to mention them here for obvious reasons). Even some of the single wrapped cheese bought at the stores to consume hamburgers with home griller burgers, are plant based cheese and many are close to plastic, in my opinion.

Veganism isn't going to solve climate change, especially in traditionally dairy consuming countries. Reducing consumption will help, more in line of what it was a hundred years ago.

Rennet is reliably produced with thistle plants, and has been used to make some dairy cheeses for a while now.
