Just gross

I cannot eat dairy because I have an allergy so I always have to look for alternatives. I absolutely hate this cheese. The taste is so artificial and has a very very creamy texture when melted, almost mucky and sticky. If you’re trying to replace cheese this is not what you’re looking for.

Not worth it

There are some daiya products I love but unfortunately this just isn’t one of them. The texture to me was awful and although I’m understanding to the fact it’s obviously not real cheese, the cheddar flavour was a sure miss. Wouldn’t recommend.

I am dairy intolerant, so I really appreciate the Daiya products because they offer such a wide variety of dairy-free (and gluten-free) options. Having said that, their cheese is not my favourite.


This cheddar has a very strong, very sharp flavour to it. It doesn't really taste like any kind of real cheese I've had, and certainly takes some getting used to. I also find that it leaves a taste in your mouth afterwards.


The shelf life for this cheese is not very good. It says that it's best eaten within 7 days of opening the package, which I always do, but I find that it gets extremely wet. It's not mouldy, but it's just kind of off-putting.


This cheese tends to crumble and fall apart quite easily. It melts decently, but at the same time, it doesn't melt like a real cheese would.


I love other Daiya products, but this one is not for me.
