It's been over ten years since I've done this, but now, thanks to Soymage, I'm back to my old ways. In general, commercial vegan soy cheeses are a sorry lot. Considering all the advances in food preparation over the past decade, very little progress has been made on soy cheese.
Many soy cheeses contain casein, which comes from milk protein.
But now there's a vegan soy parmesan cheese that's not only palatable, it's outstanding. Soymage grated parmesan cheese alternative has the look, smell and taste of a good parmesan cheese. As a warning, there's another company out there with a competing soy parmesan product packaged in a nearly identical container. This competing product is not vegan due to the inclusion of casein. So be sure you buy the Soymage brand.
