Vegan Cheese Taste Test 🧀 Vegan Bleu Cheese & V

Vegan Cheese Taste Test 🧀 Vegan Bleu Cheese & Vegan Feta Cheese from @followyourheart

📽 full video review on YouTube. Link in bio!!

Vegan cheese products have come a long way! Vegan feta cheese and vegan bleu cheese are the latest types of plant-based cheeses to hit the shelves of grocery stores around the U.S. so I thought it would be fun to do a review to share my thoughts on how these dairy-free cheeses stack up.

There are many brands making vegan feta, but I haven't seen many that make bleu cheese, and none that have blue cheese crumbles. If you know of others, please let me know in the comments below.

In the making of this video, my non-vegan friends hadn't tried them yet. Post-production though, my family had a chance to try them.

They were blown away by the blue cheese and enthusiastically expressed how the plant-based blue cheese was spot on compared to the dairy version.

The vegan feta also got great reviews. Although, while the feta cheese was just shy of 100% matching the dairy version, it was ranked delicious for taste, texture, and being feta-like.

Follow Your Heart is one of my favorite brands for dairy-free cheeses. They have creamy sliced cheeses and shreds, shredded parmesan cheese, and lots of other products.

Are you a plant-based cheese newbie? What plant-based cheeses have you tried? Have you had a feta and/or blue cheese? Any favorite brands?

Please note: This is not a sponsored post. I purchased these products myself at Whole Foods.
