Vegan cheese doesn't melt like the real deal. That could soon ch

I want to try it when it is available, but I don't think it will
work for me because I think I react to casein proteins. This
sounds like a really good idea for much better vegan cheese for
those who are lactose intolerant but okay with caseins:

Vegan cheeses are soooo much better than they were 10 years ago.
When Miyoko's Kitchen hit the market then I was blown away. I
hated all of the others (well Daiya was OK but too much coconut
under taste for me.)
Texture is the last horizon, I guess. But you are correct. A lot
of people don't eat dairy because of the casein. Plus I imagine
it might squick out others for other reasons. OTOH, I'll bet
there is a market segment who would really welcome it. And one
breakthrough often leads to another.
Good info, thanks. My last labs convinced me that it's time to
move back to more plant-based. (Slowly and incrementally until
after the holidays, haha.)

Interesting. I think it's the caseins that are the problem for
me too as I still react to lactaid or lactose free products so
I'm not sure it will be an option for me either but I'm sure
there will be a market for it.
I have mostly stayed away from the dairy free cheeses as so many
of them are not all that great (although I agree improving over
the years) but I recently discovered Violife Cream Cheese which
I love!

I've heard good things about Violife. Will have to try harder
find it.

The non-animal caseins will almost certainly still be a problem
for me. Though I suppose they are likely to be pure of other
milk components, so it may be a good opportunity to do the
experiment. I hope that the labeling is clear.
My favorite vegan cheese does not seem to be sold locally as
slices anymore, although I can still get the shreds. Parmela
Creamery is the brand.
I recently tried Cheesy by Nature blue cheese (colored with
streaks of spirulina, which I could slightly taste), not very
convincing but oddly satisfying on a cracker.
Violife feta is next on the testing table.

I'm so glad I found this thread!
I react badly to dairy, including casein, plus it's inflammatory
and I've already got enough issues on that front.
I do hope companies aren't labeling food as vegan if it still
has milk proteins. :o
The best I have access to right now is Violife and Dayia. As
someone who's favorite food group was cheese in a former life,
this adjustment has been painful.
The Savannah area is a lot less enlightened wrt non-dairy foods
than central Iowa. Atlanta was decent, so one thing I miss since
moving this last time down to the low country. Even Whole Foods
is skimpy on options.

I found a couple parmela creamery cheeses on the Savannah Fresh
Market website (not Whole Foods, alas, where I already pay to
get deliveries)! I'm excited to try this out. Thanks for the
tip!
