Vegan " Sharp Cheddar Cheese"

Pree-ti good :)...for me it needed a leee-tal bit more flavor so I ended up playing with the recipe...divided it into 4 portions and added hot spices to one, nuts and dried cranberries to 2 others and extra garlic, herbs and seeds to the last...poured them into little flower molds that had chopped nuts on the bottom to make them sort of like the "cheese log" typey thangs when they came out topped w/ them ='ed neat :)...served at a Christmas brunch and were a super hit...thanks

Not bad at all and very easy, too! I didn't use the pimento, but after reading the other reviews, I did ad in some cayenne pepper and about 1/4 tsp. dry ground mustard. They gave it a little "umph." I've eaten it on organic corn rounds and it does taste good, although not like the real thing. It does, however, smell almost identical to extra sharp cheese! I will continue to make and encourage others to give it a shot!

fabulous. i'm going vegan for lent and have only tried those horrible store bought "cheeses." i put more lemon, salt and 1 serrano pepper in mine for a kick. i only recently started using agar and i love it. also i put them in six heart chaped molds for a little extra cuteness.

I am very pleased with the results. It's better than I had expected. I love regular daiy cheese, but am trying to cut back on eating it. I know that no vegan cheese is going to taste exactly like cheese, so I was expecting someting pretty different. This looks like cheese, and when melted on top of spicy foods really tastes quite good. I think that next time I make this, I will add some more flavorings such as some salt and some chili powder. This was also my first time using agar agar, and it is great. It sets up quite firm and the testure is good. Thanks!

I think this is fairly good when cold, but when melted it has much more flavor. The fabulous thing is that it actually melts like dairy cheese. Shreds like cheese too. I added 1/2 tsp. salt and think it can use even a bit more. Next time I make it I'll add an extra 1/4 tsp. All in all this is better than any of the commercial vegan cheeses on the market that I've found. It's easy to make too.

This is good! Good on crackers, shreds well, makes a good addition to burritos... I followed the instructions but added about a teaspoon of salt. Tastes WAY better than any store bought stuff I've had.
