nut cheese

Dairy-free alternative

Nut cheese is a dairy-free cheese substitute made from nuts—typically cashews, almonds, or macadamias—that have been soaked, blended, and often fermented or cultured.

The texture ranges from creamy spreads to firm blocks that can be sliced.

The charcuterie board included three kinds of nut cheese.

Popular in vegan cooking and among those avoiding dairy.
