Research Summary
Plant-based cheese is a dairy-free alternative to traditional dairy cheese, made entirely from plant-based ingredients. It is designed to mimic the taste, texture, and melting properties of conventional cheese while catering to individuals following vegan or lactose-free diets. Common plant-based cheese ingredients include nuts (such as cashews or almonds), soy, coconut oil, nutritional yeast, and various starches and gums for texture and consistency. The production process often involves fermentation and culturing to enhance flavor complexity. Plant-based cheese comes in various forms, including slices, blocks, shreds, and spreads, and it is used in a variety of dishes like sandwiches, pizzas, and salads. As the demand for plant-based alternatives continues to rise, plant-based cheese has evolved to offer a diverse range of flavors and textures, making it a popular choice among those seeking cruelty-free and environmentally sustainable options.
