Buying vegan cheese can be tricky... a lot has casein in it, which is a milk derivitive, it can give you an upset stomach (amy's soy cheese w/ casein once did this to me) I know Whole Foods has true vegan cheeese, and more and more supermakets also. Beware of some "cholesterol-free" or "lactose-free" cheeses that really aren't vegan and might have gelatin or other animal by-products. These are for people who aren't vegan or vegetarian and are on cholesterol or lactose free diets. I reccomend the brands Tofutti and Vegan Gourmet brands of cheese... the Vegan Gourmet Mozzarella is my favorite (excellent on pizza) and is 100% vegan! Good luck and happy hunting!

I would try:
Trader Joes
Oasis
Whole Foods
Wild Oats
Any local co-op/ organic grocery
Vitamin Cottage
and maybe a larger type grocery chain
as a vegan and lactose intolerant anyway, I can tell you that vegan cheese is not very tasty...but good luck finding it!

You can buy cheese slices made from rice. Go check out a health food store like Wild Oats or whatever is around where you live.

make sure it really is vegan.. there are milk derivatives hiding in most soy and rice cheese.
even most stuff at whole foods and natural food stores is not vegan. check out vegan gourmet cheese by follow your heart. you can order it on their website if you have trouble finding it in your area.

In Great Britain Holland and Barratt stock, 'Cheezly' , 'Tofutti' and 'Redwood' 'cheese'. My friend H on here say's that the Redwood cheddar substitute is delicious.

Check the produce department of your local grocery store. It's usually next to the tofu.

they're pretty gross, and if they aren't, then they are full of fat or they are actually vegetarian.
these are the only "vegan" cheeses I ever found at "Whole Foods", and they were very fatty.
