Our charcuterie boards have never been the same.

We know a thing or two about this topic since weve been vegan for over six years.

And most importantly, as cheese-loving Italians, we immediately honed in on the highest quality dairy substitutes.

A box of Almond Breeze

(HelloViolife Parm!)

Put on your favorite hoodie and have yourself a day, deep in the fridge.

In our eyes, it is the most versatile of all the alternative milks.

Kite Hill Greek Style Yogurt

Whole Foods

It is thick, rich, and tangy.

you could use it in parfaits, baked goods, or as a topping for oatmeal and pancakes.

Its also excellent in savory dishes because it is unsweetened.

Kite Hill’s Sour Cream Alternative

Whole Foods

Other sour cream alternatives weve tried are too thick in texture and lack flavor.

This one stands out, especially onsheet pan nachos.

We want flavor, melt, and texture.

Violife Cheddar Shreds

Whole Foods

Luckily, Violife products deliver.

For sliced cheese, we loveViolifes Mature Cheddar Slices.

For one, the packaging is top tier.

Treeline Plant-Based French-Style Cheese

Whole Foods

It peels back for easy access and is re-sealable so the cheese stays fresher for longer.

The cheddar flavor is subtle yet sophisticated.

Plus, it melts beautifully, like on a breakfast sandwich orburger.

Kite Hill Cream Cheese

Whole Foods

Its a soft, spreadable cheese, with earthy notes and pungent flavor.

Honorable mention, for our fellow truffle lovers, goes toMiyokos French Style Winter Truffle Cashew Milk Cheese.

We love using it increamy polentawith plant based butter!

Miyoko’s European-Style Cultured Vegan Butter

There is simply no better plant-based butter out there.
