These Are Some of the Most Popular Vegan Cheese Brands—Find Them Near You

Published by PETA Staff.

Whether you’ve just gone vegan or you’re looking to try some delicious vegan cheeses for the first time, here are some of the most popular options out there to get you started. These delicious cheeses come in a variety of flavors, so you’ll be sure to find the perfect one for your cooking needs. By choosing nondairy options, you help spare cows who are used by the cruel dairy industry. To force cows to continue producing milk, dairy farmers routinely impregnate them and then steal their babies and their milk.

So next time you’re at the grocery store, pick up one of these vegan cheese brands instead:
