Guys, this year after having a great love affair with Cheese, my stomach decided it was time for a breakup. Reluctantly, I had no other option but to oblige. I had been battling with this decision for years and years and finally, after one Fettuccine Alfredo dinner, the decision was made for me. I had to stop eating dairy.
I know what the alternatives tasted like, because I went Vegan years ago and I knew the good the bad an the ugly when it came to Vegan "cheeses". One day I was doing groceries at a local market, I decided to give Chao Cheese a chance. I was familiar with the company "Field Roast" because during my vegetarian days, I had tasted many of their veggie meats.
When I went home and tried this I was pleasantly surprised. One that it melted, two that it did not taste like fake cheese and three that it was SO creamy. Many people ask me what Chao is when I praise the product. Chao tofu is a fermented soybean curd popular throughout Asia. Essentially it’s the traditional “cheese” of Asia. It can be purchased in Asian grocery stores in the North America and Europe, usually bottled and in a brine. It is often served with rice, is a common street food and usually deep fried.
Field Roast mastered this type of Vegan "cheese" and out of all the flavors my favorite one is the "Original". I like the other flavors but the original tastes the creamiest.
They cost about 5.99 for 7oz. I can say that it is totally worth the try. If you guys would want to know more about the product, here is a link:
