Dairy-free cheese is a plant-based alternative to traditional cheese, crafted for those with lactose intolerance, dairy allergies, or seeking a vegan option. It typically features ingredients such as nuts (like cashews or almonds), coconut oil, soy, tapioca starch, or pea protein, along with natural flavorings and seasonings. Dairy-free cheeses span a variety of cuisines, adapting to dishes from Italian pizzas to Mexican quesadillas and beyond. Nutritionally, they often contain less saturated fat than their dairy counterparts, catering to heart-conscious diets, though some versions can include added oils or preservatives. Fortified options may provide calcium or B vitamins, offering additional nutritional benefits. While lower in cholesterol, they may not always match the protein levels found in dairy-based cheese, so comparison is key. Balancing taste, texture, and nutrients, dairy-free cheese supports dietary inclusivity without compromising culinary diversity.
