Bethany's Vegan Kitchen

I’ll get right to it, these are the best vegan cheeses I’ve tried since becoming vegan. Something that immediately piqued my interest is that Sumear is an ex-dairy cheesemaker, the following is an excerpt from his website

“My job is to create authentic vegan cheese using the experience and techniques as an ex-dairy cheesemaker. By creating the cultures from scratch and understanding the science of cheesemaking, I am able to develop well rounded flavoured cheeses while achieving the right texture”

So I decided to make an order,  I opted for crémou spread, original sharp cheese, young Rockhill cheese, and whiskey oak wood smoked cheese

Whiskey Oak Smoked Cheese

I decided to give this a try first, and right out of the wrapper the smell is amazing. It’s easy to slice thinly, and worked beautifully with the chive and extra virgin olive oil crackers I also ordered. It was difficult to not keep slicing and eating it! This would fit right in on any dairy free cheeseboard

Original Sharp Cheese

For this one I decided to try thin slices on a lightly toasted bagel, again it was easy to slice thinly. I loved sharp cheese when I was vegetarian, so it was a real treat to be able to have a lovely sharp cheese again. Again this cheese has a great flavour to it, lovely and creamy with a nice amount of tanginess to it too

Young Rockhill Cheese

This is the closest vegan cheese I’ve ever tasted to a dairy cheddar. The reason there’s nothing with the cheese pictured is because I just kept eating it on its own! It’s so rich, tasty, and creamy, it’s gorgeous

Crémou Spread

I wasn’t sure what to make of this when I first tried it. It tastes creamy and nutty, with a tanginess to it. I quickly wanted to try a little more, and more, before realising that I really enjoyed it. It just doesn’t taste like anything I’ve ever tried before

On the website it suggests stirring some through a spaghetti dish, so that’s exactly what I did. It added so much flavour to a simple tomato based pasta sauce, it was so moreish. I topped the spaghetti with some finely grated sharp cheese, and it was such a delicious meal

I enjoyed every bite, I didn’t keep a track of exactly how I made the sauce, as I’d never cooked with the crémou before. But it’s definitely something that I will be making again

I’d definitely recommend trying something from Food By Sumear, CLick Here to check out his products
