VEGAN CHEESE SLICES & SHREDS AVAILABLE IN SINGAPORE

Chao

From the house of Field Roast’s Chao Creamery in Washington, comes a wonderful range of dairy-free cheeses. Their cheese is made from Chao, which is a traditional Asian fermented tofu. Instead of shaping their products to mimic dairy products, they have created an innovative range with coconut as the core ingredient and Chao as the seasoning. The cheese looks kind of like marinated feta, as it is sold brined in a small jar, and has the mouthfeel of something like blue cheese. Visit their website for a range of sumptuous recipes here.

Available at: Eat Organic (Creamy Original Chao Slices at S$15.90)

Daiya

Dedicated to making eating diary-free a wonderful experience, Daiya is not just dairy free but free of the 7 main allergens including soy and peanuts. Gooey cheeses to lip smacking yoghurts, there is everything that you might want to dig into. Their awesome range includes Shreds, Slices, Blocks and Cream Cheese. Daiya is one of the most widely available vegan cheese in Singapore, so top up your veggie pizza with Daiya’s Mozzarella Style Shreds, or fix yourself a veggie sandwich with a Cheddar Style Slice. For those who love a good cream cheese style spread, there is Plain, Strawberry, Chive & Onion and Garden Vegetable to pick from – these can’t be found here all the time but one of the flavours occasionally shows face in Supernature, Eat Organic or Four Seasons.

Available at: Eat Organic (Mozzarella Style Shreds, Cheddar Style Shreds, Cheddar Slices), Supernature (Pepperjack Style Shreds, Mozzarella Style Shreds, Cheddar Style Shreds, Cheddar Slices), Four Seasons Organic Supermarket (Cheddar Style Shreds, Cheddar Slices, Cheddar Block), Redmart (Cheddar Style Slices, Cheddar Shreds, Mozzarella Shreds)

Having started with vegan cheeses in 2003 when they came up with the first melting vegan cheese, the American brand now offers a wonderful range of flavours and styles, some of them available here. Follow Your Heart also makes Vegenaise – a heart-healthy, vegan spread that apparently tastes better than mayonnaise.

Nush

There’s quite a story behind this British brand, in that it was founded by ex-police officers Bethany and Paul Eaton. Bethany and Paul created Nush out of a desire to do dairy-free differently; to produce a range of ethical, dairy-free products and destroy the myth that dairy-free has to be bland and boring! As far as we can tell, Nush is the only almond-based cheese currently available in Singapore. Every pot of Nush is made with their home-made almond milk ensuring that it  contains a very high percentage of almonds

Available at: Redmart (Nush Vegan Almond Cheese Style Dairy Free Spread Natural S$8.50, Nush Vegan Almond Cheese Style Dairy Free Spread Chive S$8.50, Nush Vegan Almond Cheese Style Dairy Free Spread Sweet Chilli S$8.50)

Vegetarian Cheese – Animal Rennet-Free

If you’re vegetarian and eat dairy cheese, you probably know that several of the cheeses are not actually vegetarian as they contain animal rennet, a complex set of enzymes produced in the stomachs of ruminant mammals used to curdle the casein in milk to make cheese. So, we say just switch to the vegan options above – they’re healthier, cleaner, more ethical and environmentally friendlier. 

But for when you do need to opt for dairy cheese, there are some cheese brands that do not use animal rennet, depending instead on rennet from vegetarian and/or synthetic sources. Indian brands are always a great bet as using animal products would alienate half the population. To be doubly sure, you can look for the green dot (on every Indian food product) that marks the product as vegetarian. We do not have an exhaustive list of vegetarian Cheeses available in Singapore as of now, but here is a start.

Amul

Amul Cheese Rennet-Free, Singapore

Amul uses Microbial Rennet from vegetarian sources. Amul cheese is available at Mustafa Supermarket and other Indian grocery stores. The Amul Cheese in Tin is even available at Redmart (we absolutely love this on pizzas, just grate it). Mustafa carries a huge range, here’s what we found there:
