I did try their other rice cheese and it tastes great but it contains casein and I'm allergic.

Thank you--I'm going to look for this. Their other rice cheeses had casein from milk.

This one looks good.

Yeah, I actually think it was this brand that I saw...the packaging was so similar. I hope my store gets the new ones in soon!!

I've just tried some of this. It isn't too bad in a sandwich. I wouldn't eat it by itself or just on a cracker, though. Not quite cheeselike ... Of course, tastes vary. I've heard people before who absolutely love this stuff. Others dislike it.

Hathor, do you think it might melt (like on a pizza or a hot sandwich?) I haven't seen any of this around yet, but I'm going to keep my eyes open.

I've found this in cheddar and cheddar jack flavors. It's ok - it melts. I wouldn't eat it cold on anything.

I'm thinking nachos. I do like the Nacho Chreese dip, but I fondly remember a big platter of nachos with beans, maybe some taco meat, olives, onions and tomatoes on top. Perhaps mixed in with all the other stuff it might be cheesier? Oh I can't wait for mine to come in. My health food store is ordering it for me along with some Ricera yogurt!

I am sorry but this brand SUCKS. It was some of the worst cheese ever.

I have found a better cheese that MELTS. It is so good. I put it on my veggie burgers and pizza. My non-gluten-free and non-vegan friend had pizza with me and said he wouldn't have known it was fake cheese if I hadn't told him.

Oh, how I've missed cheese. I bought this stuff this weekend because I'm also soy free, and, um, gross. It left a horrible aftertaste and was nothing like cheese. I'm going to try it melted next because I spent money on it, but, yeah, it's not good.

Darn.

I wish someone could make a good soy free, dairy free, gluten-free cheese!

That stuff is made of soy and we can't have soy.

Others have answered the question. Apparently it does. I haven't tried doing that yet.

As I said before, this is not a product where you want the cheese to come through. Definitely not a product to eat by itself. I found it fine on a sturdy bread with some lettuce & tomato. Also the more times I ate it the more I liked it. My initial distaste was probably due in part to the fact that it isn't a taste & consistency twin of "real" cheese. (Yes, indeed, here the cheese does NOT stand alone. Sorry -- I couldn't resist that one :lol: )

(This probably explains my distaste for "cheese" sauces based on nutritional yeast. I didn't want to go through the process of learning to accept the flavor. But turns out I can't have yeast either ...)

I've heard of a number of nice soy-based cheeses but that doesn't help us.

I found another nondairy, nonsoy cheese called VeganRella. But it contains oat flour.

So the only cheese-like substance out there that is gluten, casein, & soy free seems to be the Galaxy brand. You figure out a way to eat it you like or you just give up on the idea of having a cheese.

People's tastes vary and can change given the context. I had some New Grist beer by itself at home & I thought it awful. I wished I had purchased Redbridge instead. But yesterday I was at a restaurant that only had New Grist. Drank with a meal -- and it being the only beer available to me -- well, it didn't seem half bad.

I bought the cheddar block and like many others, we can't eat it cold or alone. It was good shredded and cooked on a pizza though. Definitely helped cure my craving for pizza! :)

Just a head's up -- the cheddar block contains casein.

I'm on the east coast, and I've never seen this brand before. I'll keep an eye out, though.

Thanks for the tip!

I checked out the site...but I didn't see anywhere where it stated Parma was soy free. Maybe it lists it on the package itself??

I did try the rice cheese this weekend. I attempted to make a grilled cheese. It didn't really melt very well. :( Maybe, if I left it on longer, it may have melted a tiny bit.......but then the bread would be a little too crispy!! Taste was ok, not great....but I wasn't expecting a lot, being soy, dairy and gluten free!! But it's better than nothing, in my opinion! I definitely would not eat it just by itself either.

It's soy-free (I'm allergic to soy). Here are the ingredients:

"It's made with ONLY: raw organic walnuts, Red Star nutritional yeast, Celtic sea salt, and love.

Oh, yeah, now I remember Parma being mentioned before.

Unfortunately, I can't have yeast either :( I guess I didn't want to remember something good I couldn't eat :rolleyes:

I got my Rice Cheese last night. I got the cheddar flavor. I was a little concerned because it contains hot peppers, but the cheese itself doesn't taste hot at all. And I thought it tasted like real cheese, straight from the package, although it was slightly oily. The only problem I have with it is the carb count. 6g per slice, so as a diabetic, I have to limit how much of it I eat.

I made loaded nachos with it. Layer of chips, some refried beans, the cheese, torn in pieces, chopped tomatoes, chopped green onions and black olives. Nuked for a minute, then topped with salsa. Yum!!! Tastes just like the real thing and daughter loved it too.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
