Use these slices, shreds, and blocks for everything from pizzas and pastas to charcuterie boards.
Transitioning to a vegan diet and struggling to replace cheese? Or maybe you’re a vegan pro interested in exploring the vegan cheese universe. Either way, we’ve got your vegan cheese cravings covered! Sure, there are several DIY cheese recipes derived from nuts or veggies, but sometimes it’s nice to have a bag of shreds or a block of slices on hand ready to level up your yummy vegan fare. Here are some of our favorite vegan cheese varieties and a few tips on how to enjoy them.
Chao Creamery
In addition to sausages and frozen macaroni ‘n’ cheese, the Field Roast and Chao Creamery brands also offer craveable and meltable cheese slices. Slice flavors include Creamery Original, Tomato Cayenne, Smoked, and Spicy to meet all of your sliced cheese needs. We love ours in fancy grilled cheese sandwiches. Chao also makes shreds—in Creamy Original and Mexican Style!

From slices like Smoked Gouda to Mozzarella Shreds to shakable Grated Parmesan, Follow Your Heart is the cornucopia of vegan cheese products.

Daiya
This OG vegan brand recently reformulated and allows you to crave without compromise. Daiya offers several cheeses in the shape of blocks, slices, sticks, and shreds. We’ve always got a bag of cheddar and mozz on hand for when the mood strikes. Spoiler: the mood always strikes.

Miyoko’s Creamery
Miyoko’s runs the vegan cheese game with their cheese wheels and fresh mozzarella. We love the mozz on pizza or thickly sliced in caprese salads. And the brand doesn’t stop at cheese! They also offer cultured butter.

Vevan
From slices to shreds, Vevan has the vegan cheese your recipes deserve. We’ve been known to use Vevan cheese to make killer nachos. The plant-based brand offers other products such as cream cheese as well.

Parmela Creamery
Parmela artisan nut cheeses have been life-changing! We love their shreds melted on flatbreads and sprinkled on tacos, but the brand is great for other applications too. You can also find slices to enjoy from Parmela Creamery.
