Definition:

Cheese substitutes, also known as dairy-free or non-dairy cheese alternatives, are products designed to mimic the texture, flavor, and functionality of traditional dairy cheese without using any animal-derived ingredients. These substitutes are primarily targeted at vegans, lactose-intolerant individuals, those with dairy allergies, and/or anyone seeking to reduce their consumption of animal products. Cheese substitutes can be made from a variety of plant-based ingredients, such as nuts (e.g., almonds and cashews), soy, coconut, or nutritional yeast. These ingredients are often processed and blended to create a creamy and cheese-like product.
