Daiya Vegan Cheese Wedges

It's finally here! The long-awaited super-melting vegan cheese from Canada is now available in the USA, and it's well worth the wait. The perfect combination of real dairy cheese taste and texture in a non-dairy, 100% vegan form, not only does it melt perfectly, it stretches, too! Not only does it have unmatched melting ability and an incredible flavor, it’s also free of soy, gluten, and peanuts / tree nuts, making it safe for many who suffer from allergies to these ingredients. Create perfect pizzas, gooey grilled cheese sandwiches, top off your tempting tacos and anything else you can imagine – with Daiya vegan cheese wedges, there's no limit to what you can create! Daiya wedges are available in three flavors – Havarti with Jalapeno and Garlic, Cheddar and Jack, and is available in 7.1 oz. (200g) packages for $5.99 each.

Baking with Daiya: Use Daiya as you would regular cheese. For best results (as a topping such as the top layer of a lasagna) add Daiya in the last 5 - 10 minutes (depending on temperature) when baking. This will yield smooth melting properties without excessive browning. Tip: Try adding Daiya at the very end after baking is finished, by sprinkling a shredded layer on top of oven-hot food and covering for a few minutes. This preserves the most nutrients and maintains optimum resilience.

Microwave: Daiya works great in the microwave in tortillas, burritos and whatever you normally would cook with cheese in the microwave. Be careful not to overcook Daiya as like dairy based cheese, it will become tough.
