Plant based cheese
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Violife Just like cheddar shreds its an alternative to dairy cheese for those that don't consume dairy. It's one of the better plant based cheeses I've tried. the stretchiness and cheese pull is not the same as real cheese but it does have ok flavor.
From TEAM VIOLIFE team
Ok flavor and a spot near the top of your list, we'll take it. Appreciate you sharing your honest take on the shreds 🩵

Tastes great
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this cheese to make a quesadilla for a get together. My friend cannot eat dairy, and she absolutely loved the quesadilla. We have tried multiple brands of the vegan cheeses and felt this one the best one.
From TEAM VIOLIFE team
Best of the bunch is high praise, and we're taking it. Here's to many more quesadillas. 🩵

Flavor
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The violife cheese was so creamy and delicious, it had just the right amount of smoke flavor, great for chilli or mac and cheese. The ingredients are clean and you know what your eating.
From TEAM VIOLIFE team
Creamy, delicious, and just the right amount of smoke sounds like a win in our book. Chili and mac and cheese are exactly where those shreds belong. 🩵

Must BUY! 10/10
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this cheese, it melts so well for vegan cheese which is hard to find! I love putting it on loaded baked potatoes. It is also excellent on grilled cheese sandwiches. Super nice and doesn’t hurt my stomach at all! Repurchase 10/10. Been buying this brand for years.

Perfect for soups & salads!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] this is a fantastic cheese alternative. i was a bit hesitant to try this, as many other cheese alternatives are not up to par with my cheese standards. i was pleasantly surprised by how much it tasted and felt just like real cheese! it melts just like cheese and smells very pungent as real cheddar does. it does have a bit of an odd aftertaste on its own, but blended into soup or mixed in a salad it really could fool anyone!

Its a good alternative to regular cheese as long as it is melted.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The packaging was good. The aroma smelled like rotten cheese. It didnt have an after taste. The cheese is really oily when it melts, so it doesn't stick easily. It doesn't bind very well on pizza.
From TEAM VIOLIFE team
A good melt makes all the difference, right? Appreciate you sharing exactly how the shreds performed on your pizza 🩵

Did not that vegan
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Made loaded chicken recipe-with the this vegan cheese and it was delicious. It melted easy and you wouldn't know it was vegan. Very nutritional without the extra ingredients. 10 out of 10
From TEAM VIOLIFE team
A loaded chicken recipe sounds like the perfect place for those shreds to shine, and we love that they melted in easy and kept everyone guessing. That 10 out of 10 means a lot to us. Here's to many more dairy free melt moments. 🩵

Taste and texture is good
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good taste and texture. Melted good in my dish. You can tell the taste is a little different than other cheese but still good and you don’t have the side effects of lactose cheese.

Tastes and melts just like the real thing!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I ended up using this in a baked buffalo chicken dip recently and let me tell you!!!! Everyone went crazy over it. The cheese melted very well and no one could even tell that it was real cheese. I think I’d definitely pick it up again in the future for sure.

PKU - BEWARE of new recipe
This HAS been a staple in my son's diet... until I noticed that they changed the recipe. They still report zero protein, yet they now clearly list protein in the ingredients list. We can POSSIBLY keep it in small moderation in his diet, but this change in recipe is disastrous for us.
