i am looking for a good vegan cheese, one i can use for pizza or something. it also has to be gluten free. i have tried Daiya. it is one of the few soy free cheeses (some family members are allergic to soy, i am not) and it is good when made into macaroni or used in a white sauce, but eaten by itself (melted of course) like in a quesadilla or a grilled cheese, it has a strong flavor and makes me incredibly nauseous. and for a pizza topping, it would be "raw", so i need one that wont make me feel like throwing up. i have tried tofutti cream cheese, it is good in frosting but nasty by itself. i looked up reviews for there cheese slices and alot of people said those were nasty too. so are there any other brands of dairy (and gluten) free cheese that would go great on a pizza that anyone has tried?????? or heard good things about???? thanks 8]]]

also just as a side note: i have peered at some supposedly "vegan" cheeses in grocery stores and saw that many contained casein. casein is a milk protein that i cannot eat and i feel it is false advertising to say something is vegan when it contains a dairy product. i have seen this on many cheeses and i feel like it is a very annoying issue.|||this is going out on a limb a bit, BUT...if you soak some raw cashews for a couple of hours, then drain them, then blend them with garlic, salt, and oregano- it tastes kinda cheesy and plus there is no soy or weird afterflavor Its just salty and slightly nutty

You may be surprised.|||Are you sure they're labelled as "vegan" cheese, not just "soy" cheese? Because it's not just peoples' dietary choices at play there, it's also to do with allergies. In my country we have a few soy cheeses but they always contain casein too - why can't they make a true vegan cheese? We don't have the range of vegan cheeses in Australia that you guys have over there, and the ones I've tried have been disappointing. I've pretty much given up on vegan cheese (apart from Tofutti and chives on a bagel!), and am about to get into making my own vegan cheese. There are loads of interesting recipes online that I will investigate: http://www.google.com.au/search?q=vegan+鈥?/a> http://www.google.com.au/search?q=vegan+鈥?/a>
