Shredded Vegan Cheese By Daiya

In addition to being an amazingly delicious vegan alternative to cheese, Daiya is also completely free from common allergens such as soy, nuts, corn or gluten. A soy-free vegan cheese that actually tastes great? Yes!

Daiya is currently available in two varieties: Mozzarella Style and Cheddar Style. Daiya is packed in 8 oz. bags, which is enough cheese for one 14" pizza, or quite a few grilled cheese sandwiches. Here are some recommendations from the manufacturer for how to best use Daiya:

Ingredients (Cheddar & Mozzarella): Filtered water, tapioca and/or arrowroot flours, non-GMO expeller pressed canola and/or non-GMO expeller pressed safflower oil, coconut oil, pea protein, salt, inactive yeast, vegan natural flavors, vegetable glycerin, xanthan gum, citric acid (for flavor), annatto

Cooking with Daiya
You can use Daiya in the same way you would use regular cheese.

Pizza Volumes:
It is important to use the optimum amounts of Daiya on pizza for best performance. Below are optimum recommendations resulting from performance tests in mass market pizza franchises throughout North America. 10 inch=110 grams (4oz); 12 inch=160 grams (5.5 oz); 14 inch=220 grams (8 oz); 16 inch=280 grams (10 oz); 18 inch=358 grams (1.5 oz)

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, burittos 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.

Storage:
Always keep refrigerated. Once you receive your Daiya from Cosmo's, consume or freeze within one week.

Freezing Daiya:
You can freeze Daiya and use it as you normally would after thawing. Like most food products, do not freeze, thaw and re-freeze.
