If you're lactose intolerant and looking for cheese substitutes that are specifically tailored to your needs, here are six options to try.
These cheeses are made by adding lactase, the enzyme that breaks down lactose, during the cheese-making.
These cheeses are made from plant-based ingredients such as nuts, soy, or coconut.
Nutritional yeast is commonly sprinkled over pasta, popcorn, or vegetables to provide a savoury, cheesy taste.
Tofu-based cheeses can be a suitable option for lactose intolerant individuals. Tofu is made from soy milk and can be processed into a cheese-like consistency.
Cashew cheese is a popular homemade dairy-free cheese alternative. It is made by blending soaked cashews with water, lemon juice, nutritional yeast.
Vegan alfredo, made with cashews, is one of the best dairy-free cheese alternatives.
Consistency wise, mayonnaise is considered a good enough replacement for cheese.
