Review of Mature Cheddar Style Block - Bute Island Foods by ziokendo

-> The greatest thing about this vegan cheese is how it melts. The color changes and has enough water content to melt and bind other ingredients together;
-> The flavor is pretty strong as this is a mature cheddar style but it lacks a bit the defining umami of mature cheeses;
-> The weak points *according to my personal taste* are that (1) the cheese block is difficult to handle - ie. to cut properly - sticky and brittle at the same time, it acts a bit like a low quality young parmigiano (2) like most cheese mimicking products the nutritional profile is hardcore - mostly solidified / hydrogenated vegetable oils, but is good they have a potato and oat component so not as bad as others (3) I’m consuming this in Singapore and this product requires cold chain shipment all the way from Scotland which impacts obviously the price and the sustainability of it ..

Conclusion: fine in moderation and promising if their R&D can further improve it
