I tried the daiya provolone slices last week and they were pretty gross. Has anyone tried the mozzarella? I'm willing to to give it 1 more try. It's too expensive to buy it and than throw it away.

Hmmm, I would not. I always considered mozz and provolone interchangable, so I'm surprised Daiya has both!
I do love the shreds for grilled cheese and think I'm happy to stick with that.
I had a raincheck for the chunks at Whole Foods but by the time I got back it had expired. Oh well, I guess I'll never know

I didn't like the provolone either but I love the jalapeno garlic havarti wedge and the shreds. I don't think I've tried the mozzarella.

Maybe I'll give the shreds a try than

I like the provolone slices on a sandwich or melted into some mac and cheddar. But I also recognize that all cheeses, both real and fake, are sort of gross. Daiya's new gouda block is interesting. I'd like to see them come out with a Colby style.

Hmmm... cheese is never a craving to me, though being a Mongolian. I mean i used to eat a lot of cheese, and to give up, what you need to do is just insist, do not even think about that word...

Try the shreds, they are much much better than the slices. The cheddar slices are tolerable but the provolone and mozzarella ones are gross. I use the shreds for all kinds of things "cheesy".

I've tried the daiya slices (swiss and provolone), and the mozzarella shreds. I didn't like the slices either. The mozzarella shreds are much better than the slices, in my opinion.

The chedderbshreds are great, but i dont like the slices or the moz. I've stoppped buying daiya after I mastered my own home made dairy free cheeses! Nothing says nachoes like queso, and my milk-free queso is the best on the coast ^_^ I'll share the recipe sometime.

I never eat vegan cheese as a chunk or uncooked, I put it on pizza or in sauces and that way it does taste OK. I once tried it just like that and it was like cheese flavoured rubber, very unpleasant.

But as said above, melt it and it will be ok most of the time

I like Wilmbersburger vegan cheese, it's the closest to 'real'' cheese we have over here.

I tried the mozzarella shreds for the first time the other day. They were not bad, and I'm coming off an omni backslide that lasted years , so dairy cheese is still fresh in my mind.

Whenever people ask me if something tastes good, the worst I will say is "Not bad" :P I really want to try their cheese, but do you think it is worth the price?

You mean Daiya? It's at most $4.50 in OHio for the shreds, and often on sale. I swear the cheddar shreds are just American cheese when it comes to a grilled cheese. I like to add to a nutritional yeast mac and cheese for some of the sticky quality, but not too much.
I keep the bag in the freezer as it lasts a while

The thing about Daiya is that I use so much less of it than I would have cow milk cheese back in the day. I went years without any cheese subs though, so maybe it's that.

But when I make a pizza, or Mac and cheeze, I use a lot less Daiya than I would have cow cheese.

Ok cool! I will def have to try the cheddar shreds out

I have the exact same experience! I rarely use vegan cheese on stuff, but when I do I tend to use a lot at once. I didn't even try the vegan cheeses my first two years vegan, but did make homemade almond based cheese (using agar to hold it together). I would make the nutritional yeast based "cheese sauces" or blend tofu and sweet potato and nutritional yeast for a thick "cheese" with macaroni. I was not a fan of dairy cheese since it made me so sick so I had avoided it for years as an omni. Maybe that's why it never appealed to me to try vegan cheese.

When I did finally try Daiya I was pleasantly surprised. My partner (who is omni) also likes it, and he is a HUGE fan of dairy cheese so it is surprising he likes Daiya.

Now, I finally tried Punk Rawk Labs almond based cheese and I was in love lol. THAT stuff is good, but at almost $14 for a small square of it, I just don't buy it. I only bought it twice.

I bought a daya pizza about 2 weeks ago. I thought is was horrible. There was a 2$ cupon with the pizza, but I won't be using it. I just don't like any kind of fatty topping on a pizza I guess. It's good to know I won't be spending any money on vegan cheese.

Granted daiya cheese didn't come out until well over a decade after I stopped eating the real thing, it was the first vegan cheese that I tried that I like. I much prefer the cheddar shreds to any of the others but it melts and I like the taste. My kids (who are not vegans) prefer it to real cheese as well. I find that it costs about the same as an equivalent sized bag of normal cheese shreds.

The daiya pizza is so-so. I wouldn't blame it entirely on the cheese on it. It definitely isn't the best pizza I've ever had but I don't mind it.

I'm not crazy about it. I can eat it on pizza and that's about it. I haven't found a vegan cheese that I really like. That vegan rella is absolutely horrid.
