Not Suitable For: These cheeses are versatile however, they aren’t suitable for sweeter recipes due to the tangy, distinctive flavours. You can always use a food processor to reduce and crumble the larger slices, in order to ensure melting. You can also use these cheeses in risottos, provided the shavings are relatively small. How to Use: If the cheese is in the form of a block or wedge, use a fine grater to shave the cheese over pasta, stir into cheesy sauces, layered on top of a lasagne or over a bolognaise sauce.

Substitutes: Vegusto No-Moo Piquant Parmesan Style, Violife Prosociano, Tesco Free-From Hard Italian Style Cheese, Terra Vegane Dairy-Free Parmi Topper, Follow Your Heart Italian Hard Cheese, Green Vie Block Vegan Parmeggio Style. I would also recommend not to use this cheese in a cheese sauce, as the flavour is too mild to impart a cheesy taste. These alternatives, much like animal mozzarella, are very mild, and so their flavours will be wasted when not combined into a dish. Not Suitable For: A cheeseboard for after-dinner treats, or when eaten on their own. If using in a salad, simply cut or tear into your desired size. Slices thicker than 3-5cm may not melt, so if you are in doubt as to the melt-ability of your cheese, choose to grate it when you first use it, so you can judge how the cheese will fare under a higher temperature. How to Use: If using a block, be sure to tear or cut the block into smaller slices to ensure a good, even melt.
