About Plant-based cheese

Plant-based cheese is a dairy-free alternative crafted from ingredients like nuts, seeds, soy, coconut, or root vegetables. Common options include cashew-based cheeses, almond ricotta, soy mozzarella, or tapioca-based varieties. It’s a versatile food inspired by traditional cheese-making techniques, yet tailored for vegan, lactose-intolerant, or eco-conscious diets. Originating from global plant-based culinary innovation, these cheeses can range from creamy spreads to aged, firm blocks. Nutritionally, they often contain healthy fats, fiber, and essential vitamins such as vitamin E and B12, especially if fortified. Many options eliminate cholesterol and are lower in saturated fat compared to dairy cheese. However, nutritional profiles vary—some brands may include added oils, starches, or sodium, which should be consumed in moderation. Ideal for use in pasta dishes, pizzas, or charcuterie boards, plant-based cheese offers a flavorful and compassionate alternative aligned with modern dietary choices.
