Not sure where to start when it comes to plant-based cheese? We’ve got you covered.
Cheese is one of the hardest animal products to ditch because of its super addictive properties! Milk, the core component of cheese contains casein, which triggers dopamine production in your brain, which is an organic chemical that gives cheese its addictive notoriety!
Ditching cheese was tough 10 years ago because the vegan cheeses available were… well, not great, to say the least! Luckily for us, we’re now spoiled for choice and have dozens of amazing plant-based cheeses available to us!
Here are some of the best plant-based cheeses available in Thailand:
