Here is the 5-Star Point System by The Gluten-Free Vegan Baker
Malaysia (The Vegan Vuddha):
1⭐ for Appearance, Texture & Meltability
1⭐ for Flavour & Taste
1⭐ for Price
2⭐ for Overall Impression
Appearance, Texture & Meltability: Emborg Vegan Cheese looks and feels like regular non-vegan cheese. It
is firm and has the right amount of thickness. It becomes creamy and soft when
melted. It melts well and easily on its own in less than 8 seconds (in a
microwave). 1⭐
Flavour & Taste: Emborg Vegan Cheese has a mild cheese flavour which is not overpowering. It is not too salty and tastes good on its own and also in
burgers, sandwiches, crackers, etc. 1⭐
Price: Emborg Vegan Cheese costs less than RM24.00 per pack of 10 slices which is approximately RM2.40 per slice. A monthly consumption of Emborg Vegan Cheese would cost approximately RM72 per month. 0⭐
Overall Impression: Emborg Vegan Cheese
is a great tasting vegan cheese alternative to dairy cheese. It appears to have the texture, meltability and taste that I look for in a really good gluten-free vegan cheese and I like
that it contains coconut oil. I am quite impressed by it except for the affordability factor. I don't think
it's sustainable to have it in the long run. It is a great product to try
but a continuous consumption of it will definitely deliver a big hole in the monthly food budget. 1⭐
Verdict: 3⭐⭐⭐ (out of 5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐)
