Vegusto came through!!

Well after a not so favourable review of some of the no-moo cheeses I have found the saviour!! The mild aromatic cheese is actually so good. It is definitely the closest tasting thing to cheese (well in my head anyway- I have probably forgotten the actual taste). It is actually good enough to have a bite of it on its own but I have also done a normal cheese and tomato sandwich and a toasted cheese and luncheon roll (see previous post) sandwich with garlic mayonnaise (vegan of course!) and I must say enjoyed them a lot. It's not something I can see myself eating a lot as it seems quite processed and I would prefer a more vegetable based sandwich usually but it is perfect for a change and especially perfect for a lovely lazy (I wish- dissertation time!) Sunday. Hot cross buns and fruit for breakfast and a cheese and tomato sandwich for lunch; I better have a nice healthy dinner then with plenty of vegetables!

Mild Aromatic No-Moo Cheese

Vegusto- I've heard so many things....

Hi y'all,

With most of my past attempts at trying to find a vegan cheese I liked failing I decided to try one of what seemed to be the holy grails of vegan cheese- Vegusto! As I have previously mentioned I don't really miss cheese but it would be useful to have some more easy to put together sandwich fillings. I went on the website and decided to purchase the bronze starter kit containing: No-moo herb cheese, no-moo mild aromatic, no-moo melty, tomato burger, pepper sausage, smoked luncheon roll, brunch sandwich slices and paprika schnitzel. I also bought some no-moo walnut cheese because it sounded good.

Well the first thing I tried was the walnut cheese because I was so excited. I have got to say there was immediate disappointment. The cheese was very white and not full of taste. Next I opened the herb one. This was quite a bit better- especially in a sandwich. I made myself a sandwich for uni with the herb cheese and the  smoked luncheon meat and tomatoes. I have got to say it was a lovely change from my usual sandwiches like houmous and veg (although I do love this it is nice to mix it up a bit) but probably a lot less healthy!). The luncheon meat on its own was tasty- a bit like a veggie hot dog taste and sometimes reminded me of smoked salmon (although this was years ago I ate that so I am not sure it actually does). The texture was "meaty" but every so often felt a bit gritty which was not the best. In sandwiches it was much better.

Those are all that I have tried so more so watch out for further Vegusto product reviews :)
