The prototype of Simply Blue inspired the creation of Nutty Artisan Foods. It looks interesting with its green bloomy rind and the taste is sharply mushroomy, certainly of interest for lovers of strong blue cheese.

Scotland. Not exactly a region known for its coconuts or coconut oil. However, this vegan creamery located on the Scottish Isle of Bute knows how to use it to make a crumbly and relatively tangy feta alternative. So far, it is one of the better tasting feta alternatives we have reviewed.

The 'Intense gourmet' slices are siblings of the 'Mild' slices by Simply V that we reviewed at the same time. Compared to Mild, we could not identify why these would be more intense nor more gourmet, and actually slightly preferred the Mild slices for the taste.

Probably one of the most widely available vegan cheese slices in the world. These original slices are based on coconut oil and potato starch. While it looks like cheese slices, we think the taste and texture when cold is not great. It improves substantially when melted on a grilled cheese sandwich.

Sibling of the Original slices by Vegan Deli. We could only distinguish somewhat different taste and smell. Also here, while it looks like cheese slices, we thought the taste and texture are not very cheesy, noting it gets better when melted.

The Violife Greek White is a white vegan cheese produced in Greece, so the name is definitely fitting. For a feta alternative, the texture and taste is in our view a bit too much on the salty butter side and misses the spicy tanginess of firm feta cheese.

A "food preparation based on almond product" and "shepherd's delight" are among the somewhat cryptical descriptions of this vegan cheese. However, it is a recognisable feta-style vegan cheese with low-carb, low fat and a light almond taste from Simply-V in southern Germany.

A wedge out of a Dutch-style cheese wheel, one out of a range with different tastes, here tomato & olive. The looks are good, and Max & Bien's website states "the tastiest alternative to cheese". Does it live up to this promise for us?
