So in my quest to find a suitable replacement for goat cheese, I stumbled across Almond Garlic & Herb style cheese. I couldn't wait to get home and try this. Especially after a riveting conversation with the checkout guy who told me he resisted veganism for a long time because of his love of cheese and then he tried this brand and he went vegan and never looked back. (holy run-on sentence, Batman!)
Anyway, I went home and tried it. The consistency was like a dry mozzarella style cheese. The initial flavor was very garlicky and herby just like the package suggests. The initial flavor disappear rather quickly, but over all it was pretty good. I didn't get that "tang" that I get from "regular cheese" or even the ones with the yeast added actually seem to have a bit of that "tang". But it wasn't bad. I wonder how it will hold up in my tabbouleh salad.though. I don't know how it will respond to exposure to liquid. I might just add a little and do an experiment.
