Analog cheeses are formulated to mimic the texture and flavor profiles of conventional cheeses, making them popular among consumers seeking to reduce or eliminate dairy from their diets for health, ethical, or environmental reasons. This category includes both fully plant-based products and modified dairy options, such as cheese-like spreads or shreds, that aim to replicate the taste and experience of cheese without relying on animal-based ingredients.
