Why Vegan Cheese Doesn’t Melt | WIRED
The debut of vegan cheese didn’t inspire confidence, but in recent years vegan cheese had become a grocery store staple. But there’s still one problem; vegan cheese won’t melt, stretch, brown or bubble. So, what’s the science behind why vegan cheese doesn’t act like we expect? Still haven’t subscribed to WIRED on YouTube? ►► Listen…

I think that when it comes to switching to vegan alternatives, starting this switch when people are young is essential. While I understand the need to create cheeses that mimic different types of cheeses, focusing on cheeses children eat will make the transition and sustainability for vegan cheeses stronger. “get them when they’re young and you’ll get them for life”

Cheese of the future maybe, but that would only be so if it can not only be reliably mass produced, but sold at a very cheap price as to contend with traditional cheese and other non-vegan products. I am an avid fan of the vegan diet, but sadly it can be quite costly, especially with how my existence is grounded on a 3rd world country.
A switch in lifestyle is always welcome if the benefits outweigh the costs.
ConflictedCrisis
September 10, 2021 at 1:46 pm
I’m glad to see so much more interest in vegan and dairy free alternatives in the past few years, but this new development of non animal sourced casein is actually a huge upset for me, being allergic to dairy. As long as it’s properly labeled and casein-free sticks around, its not too bad, but labeling a vegan cheese as such while containing casein can certainly have severe consequences for those who have allergies! Please be mindful of this 🙂

“We need a fraction of land and water”
To harvest the plants that are ingredients in plant based milk coconut, soybeans, cashew etc you would need at least 10x the land to produce the same amount of milk. And of course growing them takes time while cow’s give milk every day. You cannot match the efficiency. Also cow’s are not dependent on temperature and weather in a normal sense.
I am all for having and options, and i am fine with every vegan unless they are trying to make me the “bad guy”.
I just don’t give credit where it’s not due.
Plant based milk production is unsustainable if we where to stop drinking cow milk one day. We would have to plant all the earth with soy and we still wouldn’t have enough milk for everyone.
RPKing *
September 11, 2021 at 11:26 pm
You are forgetting about the land used to grow the plants to feed the cows?
Plant milk uses less land and water and produces less carbon emissions.
Damien Wilde
September 12, 2021 at 8:06 am
In your logical fallacy you fail to see that with less animal agriculture, the land mass gained would exponentially cover the losses. Water consumption is lower growing plant mass compared to livestock.
Cows don’t suddenly produce milk geezer. Only mothers produce milk. Plants are carbon sinks and reduce carbon through photosynthesis, livestock only generates carbon.
I’ll find you a few studies when I can get near a computer. You’ve just misconstrued a fee facts and figures.
Although Almond milk is almost as bad as cows milk (note: “almost” not “as bad”).
james byrne
September 14, 2021 at 10:03 am
You’re a dairy farmer aren’t you?
Yeah, you’re just wrong. Growing plants to make cheese, does not use more land then breeding cows, growing plants to feed the cows so that they’ll produce milk that can then be turned into cheese.
That’s silly.

September 15, 2021 at 1:46 pm
Do we care about killing enzymes,… the non living molecules? No strangely we don’t.
Erdem Memisyazici
September 15, 2021 at 3:57 pm
@james byrne Yea but when enzymes denature, they are no longer active and cannot function. Clearly their structure is one that preserves itself in time and serves a very specific function until it no longer can. Not unlike atoms with non-stable half-lives. So I’m curious where the line is drawn. A nervous system?
Edited to add:
Not to mention the protein similarity.
Erdem Memisyazici
September 15, 2021 at 4:16 pm
@james byrne I really am asking. Proteins are the building blocks of life right? Without enzymes we wouldn’t be alive. Enzymes also can attack bacteria.
It appears that the enzymes exert their lethal effects by digesting the peptidoglycan in localized areas, forming holes in the cell wall to do so.
So:
* – Enzymes are required by living things
* – They are proteins made up of amino-acids
* – They have a limited time like living things
* – They defend us
But they aren’t alive, because they don’t reproduce the way we do? Some life forms cannot reproduce so are they not alive?
Enzymes are clearly different than quarks in the vacuum of space, but isn’t the purpose of life to preserve shapes in time?
So anything that exerts energy to hold a structure in time is trying not to lose that structure wouldn’t you say?
Erdem Memisyazici
September 15, 2021 at 4:41 pm
@james byrne Once again, I am just trying to understand the concept. So quarks, atoms, not alive. Amino-acids, proteins, enzymes, not alive. Moving up to cells, they *are* alive but not to be eaten unless they have cell walls?

@Erdem Memisyazici Are organelles sentient? Do they feel pain? No. So even if you wanted to consider them as organisms, it wouldn’t make sense to give them the same moral consideration as whole animals.

@Heekamalo Kilo Cells do fit your definition of living organisms. You prefer the ones you kill and eat to have cell walls.

@Erdem Memisyazici Why do you insist on ignoring their key point of the food not being sentient or able to feel pain?

@Ryan M. Those are not key factors that make up living organisms but I certainly am not ignoring anything here.

Can anyone explain what part of milk is “non-vegan”?

In the dairy industry cows are impregnated so that they’ll produce milk, the male and surplus calves are killed within a few days to a few weeks of being born and the mothers are exploited for their milk until their yield begins to decline at the age of about 4 to 6 year when they are also slaughtered. A cow can live for up to 22 years.
Dairy is an industry of violence and exploitation, that’s why it’s not vegan.

I will stick with real cheese, these cheese are heavily processed
james byrne
September 17, 2021 at 9:45 pm
Dairy cheese is heavily processed and that process involves violently abusing, exploiting and killing sentient creatures. So I’ll stick with real vegan cheese.

So basically they are working hard to make something that is easily accessible to be inaccessible. Cheese will always be better than a fake cheese
james byrne
September 18, 2021 at 10:24 pm
Dairy cheese is usually produced by violently exploiting animals though, so vegan cheese is obviously far better.

@james byrne Violent?
james byrne
September 19, 2021 at 7:17 pm
@Simpa Luyolo What happens to the male and surplus calves that are bred in the dairy industry and what happens to all of the dairy cows once they stop producing enough milk?
Please just look it up.

and that is why ladys and gentlemen i don’t want to be a vegan
james byrne
September 18, 2021 at 10:23 pm
Being vegan means choosing to avoid violent animal abuse when you can.
So if we translate what you’ve said here it reads:
“And that is why ladies and gentlemen I want to continue abusing animals.”

What about all the peps intolerant to casein?? I was relieved that I finally had “dairy” products…

Vegans want to be vegan but still trying to mimic non-vegan product.
james byrne
September 21, 2021 at 10:53 am
Veganism means choosing to avoid violently abusing and exploiting animals.
So yes, we want products that are made without violently abusing and exploiting animals.
It seems simple enough.

Oh wow, I always wondered why it doesn’t! I’ve been a vegan for 8 years and just in that small amount of time we’ve had huge changes in the vegan cheese options available! Even if it doesn’t melt as easily as actual cheese, that’s okay. I’ll stick with my vegan diet because it’s about the animals anyway. 💪😊

It’s literally the casein in cheese that makes people addicted because studies have shown it acts similar to opiates in your brain. I’m perfectly fine with vegan cheese without casein, but if they can make options with vegan casein and that helps more people become vegan then I’m all for it.

Can flax gel or okra goo create the stretch? I mean… in the ingredients for cheese there can be space for that someone name a video and test it out

I applaud the efforts being made to create plant-based casein. However, that may only get you to the textural characteristics of dairy cheese. What about the flavor profile? Will you rely on so-called “natural flavors” to accomplish that, as everyone currently does, or will you try to use fermentation? The use of “natural flavors”, rampant in the meat and dairy analog category, is a synthetic approach and it often results in an artificial flavor, in my opinion.

Tried vegan cheese well over 10 years ago. It was SO bad, not only did it get thrown in the garbage, but I’ve never bought or eaten it again since then! Ew! 😝😝😝😖.

Lmfao um guys there are about 10 different staple vegan cheeses on the market that melt now.

For homemade vegan cheese: try rice starch and tapioca! There are loads if recipes and some taste very similar to mozzarella and stretches well. Nit the same as real, but the best I’ve found with what we have currently 🙂

Wait… vegan cheeses can have nuts? Well add that to the list of things that I need to scour the ingredients list before eating or else I could die :/ I thought cheese of all things would be safe

Why didn’t you mention Perfect Day? They already have microbial whey protein (at scale!) on the market in Kroger. Also, the next big challenge is the production of saturated fats in particular since all vegan cheeses (even these engineered casein cheeses you mention) still presumably rely on tropical fruits like coconut or palm for fat.
