Vegan mozzarella cheese is a plant-based alternative to traditional mozzarella, crafted to replicate its creamy texture and mild flavor. Typically made with ingredients like cashews, almonds, coconut oil, or tapioca starch, it serves as a versatile dairy-free option for pizzas, pastas, salads, and more. This cheese is free from lactose and cholesterol, making it suitable for those with dietary restrictions or seeking heart-healthy options. Fortified versions may contain added vitamins like B12 to support vegan nutrition. While its fat content varies by brand, many varieties offer lower saturated fat than dairy mozzarella, but some may include processed oils. Originating from plant-based innovations, vegan mozzarella aligns well with Italian and Mediterranean cuisine adaptations. Though not quite nutritionally equivalent to its dairy counterpart, it provides a compassionate, eco-friendly choice for those embracing veganism or reducing environmental impact.
