Vegan Parmesan Cheese

Vegan Parmesan Cheese

Everyday

Vegan Parmesan cheese is a plant-based alternative to traditional Parmesan, typically made from nuts (like cashews), nutritional yeast, or soy proteins. This dairy-free substitute delivers a savory umami flavor and crumbly texture similar to aged Parmesan, while being significantly lower in saturated fat and calories. Many commercial varieties are fortified with vitamin B12 and calcium, addressing common nutritional gaps in vegan diets. It’s primarily used as a topping for pasta, soups, and salads, adding salty depth without animal-derived ingredients.
