Product Review: We Can’t Say It’s Cheese Spreads/Dips

April 27, 2010 by epicureanvegan

Perhaps what the Nicotine Patch does for smokers, this product does for recovering cheese addicts such as myself. Even though it’s been three years since I kicked the dairy habit, Wayfare is helping me with those every-so-often cheese cravings with their cheese spreads and dips called, We Can’t Say it’s Cheese.

For around $3.60 for an 8oz container, you too, can satisfy any cheese cravings. I picked up 3 of their four varieties:

Cheddar-Style Spread (They also make this in a dip)

Hickory-Smoked Cheddar-Style Spread

and

Mexi Cheddar-Style Dip

The look and texture resembles peanut butter, but smells like actual cheese. For the taste test, I served these for a get together with my non-vegan friends and they were quite impressed! We liked them on crackers and a slice of apple.

As for the different flavors, I didn’t particularly like the Mexi flavor–all I could really taste was taco seasonings. However, the Husband liked that one. I have to say, that the Hickory-Smoked one was my favorite–but the Husband and another guest didn’t care for that one, yet admitting, they don’t like smoked products anyway. The Cheddar-Style ranks way up there, too. None of the flavors I tried had that fake taste like a lot of vegan cheeses can have–it tasted much like real cheese, minus the hormones and nastiness.

WayFare itself is an impressive company…all their products are Non-Dairy, All Natural, Wheat-Free, No Trans Fats, Soy-Free, No Casein, Vegan, No GMOs, No Canola, No Cholesterol, Kosher Pareve: Healthy Ingredients

In fact, here’s a list of ingredients from the Hickory-Smoked variety: (I can even pronounce them all)! Prepared non GMO whole grain oatmeal (water and oats), vegetable oil blend, sesame, pimentos, nutritional yeast, sea salt, natural hickory smoke flavor, calcium carbonate, onion powder, evaporated cane juice.

A serving size is 2 tablespoons–carrying 60 calories and 5 grams of fat, 3 of which is saturated. So not perfect. But better than the real deal. I’m hoping they’ll come up with a goat cheese style…

WayFare has a great website with more information on their products and recipes. (You can even make mac ‘n cheese with this stuff)! Give it a try and tell me what you think!

(Don’t worry…I had lots of help–wasn’t just me)!

The Epicurean Vegan is devoted to those wanting to eat healthy, save animals, and reduce their carbon footprint. My decision to go vegan started out as a quest to get healthier, but the more I learned about veganism, the more I realized how damaging the meat and dairy industries are to the environment and, of course, the animals. And it is for these reasons, that I would never go back to eating or wearing animal products. Ever.
