Vitalite Vegan Cheese Review
Vitalite Plant-Based Creamy Original Spread
Thoughts: Pros are that this didn’t immediately melt on a hot bagel and it was really creamy. That’s where our pros really end though.
There was a sour taste that we didn’t care for, making us think with the soft texture and taste this wouldn’t be great in sweet things.
It’s also just kind of there and melts in your mouth leaving us with just feeling like we were tasting the bagel we tried it on, instead of being a texture on it’s own.
Overall: It is edible, but wouldn’t be our first choice of a vegan cream cheese product.
Ingredients: water, coconut oil, soy protein concentrate, salt, sugar, calcium citrate, lactic acid, carrageenan, natural flavor.
Allergens: Soy, Coconut.
Vitalite Plant-Based Grated Parmesan Cheese
Thoughts: We enjoyed this. We ate it straight from the bag.
It has a good parm taste, no real aftertaste that some other vegan products have, and the texture was great.
Ingredients: water, modified potato starch, coconut oil, oat fiber, yeast extract, cornstarch, salt, modified cornstarch, carrageenan, guar gum, calcium citrate, natural flavors, lactic acid, sodium lactate, beta carotene (color).
Allergens: Coconut.
Thoughts: We enjoyed this as well. We used both options and put them in a tortilla shell and made cheese quesadillas.
There’s a buttery taste to them which we really enjoyed and we think that they did really well with both the taste and texture.
It actually melted without any extra work on our end unlike some other products and there was no grainy texture that some other vegan cheese products have.
We did say that we’d like to try this on pizza and something like tacos or mac and cheese so we could really tell everything, but this could be a contender for something we buy all the time.
Cheddar Ingredients: water, coconut oil, modified potato starch, cornstarch, oat fiber, modified cornstarch, carrageenan, guar gum, salt, calcium citrate, yeast extract, natural flavors, lactic acid, sodium lactate, beta carotene (color).
Mozzarella Ingredients: water, coconut oil, modified potato starch, oat fiber, cornstarch, salt, modified cornstarch, calcium citrate, carrageenan, guar gum, natural flavors, lactic acid, sodium lactate, beta carotene (color).
Allergens: Coconut.
Thoughts: We enjoyed this the same as the shreds. It’s pretty much the same product. For this, we made them with grilled cheese.
Same texture and taste; however, we did have to use a microwave to get these fully melted, but it didn’t take long and melted beautiful.
We think that added on top of something like a burger would melt pretty instantly, but on the cold bread it doesn’t get enough heat intially.

Overall Thoughts
There’s a few things that we want to call out.
- We didn’t care for the cream cheese.
- Other We enjoyed all the other vegan cheese options from Vitalite. And once we have a chance to try it in other ways, we have discussed this becoming the primary cheese brand we use.
- It melts well and is gooey.
- We hope they come out with more products like other cheese varieties, as well as vegan cheese sticks (like string cheese) as we feel like that area is lacking in the vegan market. We also know there’s a Vitalite butter in the UK and would love to try that in the US.

I’ve tried the shredded cheese and loved the flavor. Put on a tuna melt and it melted beautifully unlike so many other brands that never melt.
