Non-dairy cheese is a plant-based alternative that mimics the texture and flavor of traditional cheese without using animal products. Common ingredients include nuts like cashews or almonds, seeds, coconut oil, soy, and starches, with added nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor. Some varieties are fermented, enhancing their tang and probiotic content. Originating as part of vegan and lactose-free diets, non-dairy cheese has gained popularity in global cuisines, featured in dishes ranging from pizzas to salads. Nutritionally, it’s often lower in saturated fat than dairy cheese but may still contain processed ingredients or added sodium, so moderation is advised. Fortified versions provide calcium and vitamin B12, important for vegan diets. Non-dairy cheese is ideal for those with dairy allergies, lactose intolerance, or ethical preferences, offering versatility and a creamy richness while supporting plant-based living.
