What brand of vegan cheese do we use?

What sets vegan cheese apart from traditional cheese in terms of ingredients and production methods?

Vegan Cheese vs. Traditional Cheese

Vegan cheese is made without any animal products and does not contain chymosin, an enzyme used in traditional cheese making.

Approximately 60% of hard cheese in the U.S. uses genetically engineered chymosin, but vegan cheese brands use other methods and ingredients to emulate traditional cheese.

Explanation:

While I do not have specific information regarding the brand of vegan cheese you might be using or referring to, I can tell you about the process involved in making vegan cheese.

Vegan cheese is typically made without the use of any animal products. This means it doesn't contain any dairy from cows or other animals, which is a key ingredient in traditional cheese.

Since vegan cheese strives to avoid the products of animal farming, it is also made without using chymosin, an enzyme traditionally used in cheese production.

It's worth noting that approximately 60% of hard cheese in the U.S. is produced using genetically engineered chymosin. However, because vegan cheese doesn't use chymosin, genetically engineered or otherwise, it relies on different methods and ingredients to replicate the texture and flavor of dairy-based cheese.

These can include items such as nuts, soy protein, and various thickening agents. There is a range of brands producing vegan cheese, and each may have a unique way of creating their product that adheres to vegan standards.
