dairy-free cheese
Plant-based substitute
Dairy-free cheese is cheese made without milk from animals—typically using plant bases like nuts, soy, or coconut oil.
It serves people who are lactose intolerant, vegan, or avoiding dairy for other reasons.
Quality varies widely; some melt and stretch convincingly, others bear only passing resemblance to the real thing: The pizza place offers dairy-free cheese as an option.
