These lactose-free cheese innovations range from vegan cheese blocks to dairy-free cheese cake desserts. These examples don't only appeal to consumers who are lactose-intolerant, but also adhere to vegan diet restrictions while blending great taste with nutrition.
While traditional cheeses boast animal bi-products and a high fat content, these products are a healthy alternative and are low in cholesterol. In addition to strawberry-flavored cream cheese alternatives, other lactose-free cheese innovations include dairy-free mac and cheese packs that are conveniently frozen and easy to prepare.
Additionally, gourmet favorites like lactose-free ricotta pastas are a tasty and healthy alternative to a traditional Italian dinner while vegan cheese shops offer a selection of artisanal products while adhering to strict diet rules.
