Don’t Be Blue—Try These Tangy Vegan Blue Cheese Products
Blue cheese, or bleu cheese, is typically made with cow’s milk, but it gets its distinctive color, smell, and sharp flavor from the mold Penicillium. The tanginess and even the bluish color can easily be achieved without using milk stolen from mother cows. The following brands have created delicious vegan blue cheeses in a variety of ways—they use spirulina for color and cashews or tofu for creaminess. Whatever you’re craving, there’s something you’re sure to love.
