Gluten-Free Vegan 101 Review - Gluten-Free Vegan Cheese Slices (Malaysia)


Gluten-Free Vegan 101 Review - Gluten-Free Vegan Cheese Slices




From the pan to the pen, here is the Gluten-Free Vegan Baker's review of one of the current gluten-free vegan products available in Malaysia.  This review is dedicated to all vegans in Malaysia and beyond who are also in a gluten-free diet.  For the sake of all vegans, this review will make no reference or comparisons to non-vegan products.


Follow Your Heart Dairy Free Pepper Jack Style Slices
 
 (Ingredients (vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, non-gmo, soy-free): filtered water, coconut oil, modified food starch, sea salt, green jalapeƱo peppers, red bell peppers, natural flavor (plant sources), olive extract.)

Follow Your Heart Dairy Free Smoked Gouda Style Slices

(Ingredients (vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, non-gmo, soy-free): filtered water, coconut oil, modified food starch, potato starch, sea salt, natural smoke flavor (plant sources), olive extract, beta carotene (color).)


Aroma & Taste:  Among all the Follow Your Heart Vegan Cheese products, Follow Your Heart Pepper Jack Style Slices is number 1 on my favorite list.  Follow Your Heart Smoked Gouda Style Slices is in second place.  Follow Your Heart Pepper Jack Style Slices has a spicy pepper flavor that gives it a good depth.  It lends a lovely peppery bite to it that is very tasty with a bit of heat and a kick.   On the other hand, Follow Your Heart Smoked Gouda Style Slices has a lovely smokey aroma & taste that tends to be slightly salty at times.  And that is why it's in second place.  I've used these two vegan cheese slices to make grilled cheese sandwiches, veggie wraps, baked potatoes, baked eggplant and even salads.  I find the dishes somehow well-seasoned and surprisingly good and delicious.


Appearance & Texture:  Both vegan cheese slices are quite firm yet creamy in texture.  However, these vegan cheese slices can be hard to peel off from the pack.  Each piece of cheese slice is not individually wrapped in plastic so I had to use a very thin, fine knife to surgically remove each cheese slice from the pack so as not to tear the cheese apart.  Peeling off every cheese slice required time, caution and a lot of patience on my part.  When it was time to melt it, melting was quick and easy.  Pepper Jack Style Slices and Smoked Gouda Style Slices always made my grilled cheese sandwiches very appetizing and absolutely delicious.

Price:  Follow Your Heart Pepper Jack Style Slices and Follow Your Heart Smoked Gouda Style Slices are both pricey and cost more or less the same as Follow Your Heart Dairy Free Parmesan Cheese and Follow Your Heart Vegan Gourmet Mozzarella Cheese.

Verdict:  There's some improvement that can be done in terms of reducing the saltiness of the Smoked Gouda cheese slices as well as easy peeling of the cheese slices especially for children and hungry eaters who are in a rush.  Generally, Follow Your Heart Pepper Jack Style Slices and Follow Your Heart Smoked Gouda Style Slices are by far the best of the Follow Your Heart Vegan Cheese products.  They're very expensive, however, they helped me create tasty gluten-free vegan dishes that are consistently good every time.  And for that, I am extremely happy and highly approve and recommend these two products.
