10 Best Dairy Vegan Cheese Brands In 2019

Daiya Mozzarella Style Shreds

These mozzarella-style shreds from Daiya are remarkable for melting, as the texture and mild taste mimic traditional dairy mozzarella cheese. If you’re baking a vegan lasagna, pizza, or other baked pasta dishes, we highly recommend these shreds.

Violife Just Like Smoked Provolone Vegan Cheese

Looking for a vegan cheese with a rich and smoky taste to add to your calzones or homemade pizza? Look no further than this stretchy, melty Just Like Smoked Provolone from Violife. Made from a base of coconut oil, rice flour, and rice and potato starches, this provolone alternative is a go-to for many vegans.

Whether you melt these smoked provolone slices down and add to savory toasted sandwiches, or add a few slices to your favorite veggie burger patty, this vegan cheese alternative is absolutely a crowd-pleaser.

Daiya Medium Cheddar Style Farmhouse Block

Daiya is one of the most allergen-friendly and widely available dairy-free cheese brands on the market. However, its new Farmhouse-style block cheeses are a big step up in both flavor and function. Soy-free, gluten-free, and made without nuts, this vegetable protein- and coconut oil-based vegan cheese is our pick for best-melting “cheese” for use in baked dishes like macaroni and cheese or cheesy scalloped potatoes.

Follow Your Heart Vegan Parmesan Shredded Cheese Alternative

Actually, no fresh pasta dish is complete without a hefty sprinkle of grated parmesan cheese. Vegans will be pleased to make a deliciously sharp dairy-free parmesan alternative good enough to fool even the most devout cheese lovers.

Organic chickpea miso paste adds just the right amount of fermented funk to this dairy-free cheese. This makes it the perfect addition to fresh marinara sauce, oven-baked veggies or sprinkled atop fresh green salads.

Vegan Chao Cheese Slices by Field Roast

For everyday use in cold cut roll-ups, classic grilled cheese sandwiches, or melted atop egg dishes, we recommend Chao Cheese Slices by Field Roast. Made from coconut oil seasoned with a traditionally fermented soybean curd called chao by the Vietnamese, these slices have a subtle coconut flavor that’s most pronounced in the Creamy Original variety.

We love the zesty kick of the Tomato Cayenne and Coconut Herb varieties to add some serious flavor to our favorite sandwiches.

Kite Hill Cream Cheese Style Spreads

Made from artisanal almond milk cultured to add depth, sweetness, and a subtle tang, Kite Hill Cream Cheese Style Spreads are a solid vegan alternative to traditional dairy-based cream cheese. The Chive variety tastes especially delicious smeared on a toasted everything bagel or as a sour cream substitute in dips for chips and fresh veggies.

Daiya Zesty Cheddar Style Deluxe Cheeze Sauce

Designed for melting, this Deluxe Cheeze Sauce from Daiya has a zesty, spicy flavor thanks to the addition of green jalapeño peppers. If you’re looking for a lusciously cheesy dipping sauce for nachos or other appetizers, this vegan cheese option is perfect.

UPrise Foods NOOCH IT! Vegan Cashew Grated Cheeze

A tasty blend of fair-trade cashews, nutritional yeast, hemp seeds, and spices, this grated vegan cheese from UPrise Foods is a cult favorite for its versatility. Sprinkle this vegan cheese on roasted veggies, pasta dishes, avocado toast, and virtually any snack or finger food to add a rich, savory, perfectly salty touch of flavor.

Treeline Treenut Cheeses

Treeline Treenut Cheeses, based in Hudson Valley, New York, makes its cheese using fine cashew nuts that are naturally cultured and aged to rich, savory perfection. With artisanal flavors, these nut cheeses are delicious spread on crackers or served on your favorite cheese plate.

Annie’s Organic Vegan Shells & Creamy Sauce

You may already be familiar with Annie’s line of delicious organic snacks. However, we bet you didn’t know the brand also makes a mean Vegan Shells & Creamy Sauce. This vegan cheese sauce gets its creaminess from pumpkin and sweet potatoes, and the pasta shells are made from organic wheat.
