Stinky!
Despite the poor reviews I thought I would give this a try, as I miss parmesan since becoming vegan and can't get hold of any other parmesan alterative. However, the reviews are right - it smells horrible, my husband could smell it as soon as he came into the house (thought it was from muck spreading in the field behind us!!). If the smell wasn't offputting enough, the taste was not great. It adds a saltyness to the dish which is the best you can say about it really. Unfortunately this went in the bin. Well done for trying Tesco, but this one doesn't work!
Do NOT buy
this sad excuse of a cheese left me utterly disappointed, as I was expecting a vegan adaptation of Parmesan cheese but it instead tasted just as repugnant as its foul smell. I do not recommend AT ALL
Not that pleasant
Used in lasagne recipe , not that successful has very odd texture and smell , would only recommend as a last resort , look for a recipe without having to substitute cheese
Smells as bad as it tastes. Truly awful
Despite the negative reviews, I was prepared to give this a try. It was, unfortunately, absolutely vile. Without a doubt, the worst cheese alternative I've ever tasted. It smelt like bile - a very acidic, pungent stench - and it tasted repulsive. I tried a teaspoon before adding it to any food, but I'm quite sure that, had I not waited, I would have sabotaged my dish. Genuinely disgusting and enough to make you wretch
it is vegan yet delicious!!
it is vegan yet delicious!!
Give it a miss
Tasted awful, would never use it again.
Great in risotto
Not tried this on pasta yet but it’s perfect in Mushroom risotto - adds texture and taste and I love it
OMG words cannot describe
I cannot describe how vile this stuff is, even the dog who loves cheese wouldnt touch it. The smell alone when opening the packet is enough to make me retch. Went right in the bin.
Dreadful - avoid!
Terrible. How can this be compared to Italian hard cheese? The smell permeates the whole room and even clothing. Smells awful and tastes really strange. Absolutely nothing like what it claims to be - avoid! Stick to Violife.
AVOID
ABSOLUTELY VILE DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY, AVOID smells like sour sick and tastes that way too !!!! Vile stuff
