- The Best Dairy-Free and Vegan Cream Cheese Alternatives. In this taste test, we tried Miyoko's Sensational Scallion Vegan Cream Cheese, Kite Hill Everything Cream Cheese, Violife’s Just like Cream Cheese, Tofutti’s Better than Cream Cheese, and Daiya Plain Cream Cheese Style Spread. '
- Daiya Plain Cream Cheese Spread. This one was a pleasant surprise; a tangy, creamy spread that did a pretty good job of mimicking the original dairy spread.
- Kite Hill Everything Cream Cheese. The texture, while pleasantly whipped and spreadable, is grainy, and the everything seasoning got lost within the tub.
- Miyoko’s Sensational Scallion Vegan Cream Cheese. While this formula was a little heavier and harder to spread than the others, it was the taste that left something to be desired.

Cheddar is the most popular type of cheese in the UK, originating in the English village of Cheddar in Somerset around the late 12th century. These days Cheddar is made anywhere in the world.

Mozzarella is a semi-soft cheese traditionally made from Italian water buffalo milk by heating the curds in water or whey until they become elastic in texture. These days mozzarella is more often made from cow’s milk. It melts well and has a unique stretchiness, making it the classic pizza topping cheese. The kind of mozzarella you buy in a ball ty...
Rebecca Siegel / Via Flickr.com Feta is a rich and creamy soft cheese, made in Greece from sheep's milk, or from a mixture of sheep and goat's milk. It has a strong flavour, so a little goes a long way. Feta cheese is lower in fat than many cheeses (around 20 per cent, 14 per cent saturated) but it’s high in salt, so avoid adding additional salt wh...

Although it is high in fat, Brie still has less fat than Chedd...
