Better Than Ricotta Cheese by Tofutti

Strangely Sweet and Chemical Tasting
From Anonymous of New York, New York on 3/6/2021.

I bought this hoping to ease some of my boyfriends stomach problems, as he loves ricotta but it slightly lactose. I have been vegan for long periods throughout my life, and never try to compare vegan products too harshly to the food theyre replicating. With that being said, this ricotta tasted nothing like light, easy, subtly ricotta cheese. it had a strong pungent flavor of chemicals and an aftertaste of sweetness. I am unsure why. Title is very misleading.

Weirdly sweet, not for lasagna

Made a lasagna using this, every bite that had the tofutti in it tasted like sweet, lasagna yogurt. Not buying again.

Very convenient

I almost didn't try due to the other reviews, but I'm glad I did. I'm not a do it yourself person so I had no desire to make ricotta. It does have a sweet taste to it but nothing over powering. Used it in vegan lasagna and it tasted just fine. Will use again with no hesitation.

Oddly Sweet.

The texture is great: creamy, slighty gritty/crumbly like ricotta. Right out of the container, it’s got a slightly sweet flavor. But nobody eats ricotta cheese straight out of the container, so I decided to give it a try in a recipe. I added unsweetened almond milk, garlic, lemon, and salt & pepper to make a sauce for some pasta. The weird taste overpowered all of that. I don’t know how to describe it, but it’s got it’s own flavor that will probably overpower anything you cook it with. I won’t be buying it again.

Gross

This stuff is DISGUSTING. I tried to make stuffed shells. I tasted it in the container and was turned off, but added a ton of basil, garlic, onion, oregano, etc. to try to save it. Nope. Didn’t work at all, it overpowered all of that. It is very sweet tasting? And tastes like chemicals.. it might be good for baking.
