I'd rather eat no cheese that thisI have to say that I was really disappointed with this ... it smells awful and made me feel sick when I ate it. I phoned the company and all they did was agree with me so it does not encourage me to ever try their products again. It looks like their vegan cheese is something I will not be having in the future as this substitute is not in the slightest bit like cheese in my opinion.

Oh dear!I purchased this Plant Based Cathedral City, as our usual Lactose Free Cathedral City was out of stock. The lactose free version is pretty tasty and cooks well, so I had no reason to believe this would be any different. But oh dear. The odour is not particularly pleasant. When I made my usual cheese and tomato on toast, the cheese semi-melted to a very odd rubbery consistency and tasted disgusting. My son actually gagged, and he will eat pretty much anything! Needless to say, I won't be purchasing this again. Lactose free only version in future.

Cheese toasties are back on the menu for meAs a long term sufferer from gout I have really missed having cheese in my diet. A cheese and ham toastie is so tasty isn't it and Cathedral City Plant Based makes a good non-dairy substitute without triggering a gout attack. The flavour is good, very similar to a mature cheddar and seems to get a boost when melted. If I could eat normal cheese then I would but this is a great second best. Highly recommended by me and if you have gout you should try it, a little bit first just to make sure.

Best vegan cheeseThis is easily the best vegan cheese so far, and we have tried a lot of alternatives over many years. The 'shelf life' is rather short but otherwise it's a great option - and if you are a vegan then don't be put off by some of the negative reviews, give it a try and you won't be disappointed.

A Great Dairy Free CheeseThis is the nearest I have found to real cheese. Good for cooking and snacking.
There don’t seem to be too many nasty additives in it either.

Absolutely revolting dairy cheese substitute!This cheese is revolting, artificial flavouring and overpowering smell, ended up giving me the runs and I had to throw the rest away, even the stray cats wouldn't touch it. If this is a shape of things to come with dairy free then forget it!

This is one of the worst things I have ever eatenI made an account for Sainsbury's just to leave a review for this item. I am not the usual kind of person who would leave a review but this is one of the most awful things I have eaten and smelt in my life. I love cheese, and I love quite a few vegan substitute products but this is just terrible.

You open the packet and are welcomed to the smell of milk after being unknowingly left in the fridge for three months, trust me, I know that smell, I have experience. You bite into it and it literally tastes like spoilt milk smells. I don't know how it is possible to make a vegan cheese product taste so authentically milky in the absolute worst way. They have simultaneously hit and missed the mark at the same time. The texture is also nothing cheeselike, when the "cheese" arrived at home, I discovered that it had split into multiple pieces and once it had been opened, apart from the ransid smell, I noticed that it was in chunks and had a very powdery texture, it shared a lot with its usually similarly addictive columbian counterpart except this is the thing I could least imagine my nose coming in contact with.

Maybe it is my tastebuds, since so many people love this cheese, but seriously - it is absolutely awful. It is perhaps the worst thing I have ever eaten in my life.

Strong, tasty Vegan Cheese.I had to stop eating dairy for health reasons, and with some trepidation I tried this as a substitute. I was pleasantly surprised by the texture and interesting taste, reminiscent of a real gourmet cheese. It has a strong cheesy flavour, along with a hint of old socks and an overtone of fresh vomit, although neither is listed among the ingredients. I’d definitely recommend this cheese, although I would advise that it is kept in an airtight container as the aroma is quite powerful with a tendency to escape.

Almost thereIt crumbles like cheddar and the initial flavour is there. A slight after taste of the vegan cheese of old, but pretty amazing. Can't believe how far cheese has come in the four years I've been vegan. Great with mango chutney and crackers.
