Past experience has taught me an abiding distrust of vegan cheeses, but what can you do when that grilled cheese craving strikes? The first thing I noticed about these slices was their vibrant, almost violently orange color. Despite what the appearance would suggest, the peppery kick is pretty mild. It melts well, and the texture isn’t as gluey as I expected, though I didn’t like it as much cold. I will absolutely get these again, and I might also have to reevaluate my stance on cheese — thank you, Chao!

Yummm grilled cheese! This is my favorite flavor in Chao. Glad you enjoyed it. I agree that it taste better warmed and melted. Violife has some great vegan cheeses! Have you tried any of them?
I do have a few favorites from the ones I’ve tried. I wish my local market carried more of their products. They seem to have a larger variety than what I thought after viewing their website. For slices I really like the Mature Cheddar and the Provolone. For shreds I’ve tried both the mozzarella and the Mexican style. I really love how they melt on pizza 🍕 soo good! I’ve also have had the feta which is excellent for crumbling onto salads. It is a bit salty as feta usually is so I use it very sparingly but it is delicious! The Parmesan block is really nice for grating on pastas or just slicing thin to top on crackers or fruit, this one is also really good! I believe they have pre shredded parm now too. I’ve also have had the cream cheese but only the plain, I really like the texture and flavor. I’ve used in mashed potatoes and part of cheese filling in chili rellenos! You’ve got me wanting to find and try more of their products lol! 🥰
