Marc: It's the best vegan cheese I've ever tasted. It's salty and has a good texture. The taste is definitely different from cheese, but it actually works with crackers as a substitute for something like aged gouda (though I'd still much prefer the aged gouda). | Marc: It's the best vegan cheese I've ever tasted.

Treeline Classic Artisanal Treenut Cheese
Described as "a delicious creamy non-dairy cheese made from fine cultured and aged cashew nuts with a hint of mesquite smoke for a captivatingly tangy flavor".
We tasted this at the August 18th real vegan cheese meeting.
- Ingredients: Cashew nuts, filtered water, non-dairy L. acidophilus, salt, barley malt flour, mesquite flavor, tricalcium phosphate (anti-caking agent, less than 0.05%).
- Price: $10 for 3.9 oz ($41 per pound) at the local cheese shop.
Opinions
Marc: It's the best vegan cheese I've ever tasted. It's salty and has a good texture. The taste is definitely different from cheese, but it actually works with crackers as a substitute for something like aged gouda (though I'd still much prefer the aged gouda).
