Substitutes for cheese
It’s made by fermenting goat, cow, or sheep milk with bacterial cultures, then adding rennet or acid to the mixture. This makes the milk proteins coagulate and form curds. After that salt is added and the curds are shaped and stored.
Contemporary cream cheese often features soy and nut versions, as well as a dairy-free, gluten-free, and soy-free option made from a mixture of vegetable oils, tapioca starch, and pea protein. You can also make cream cheese or soft crumbly cheese using macadamia nuts, cashews, Brazil nuts, or almonds.
