Garlic Herb Cheese Spread (Vegan)

You have got to try this Garlic Herb Cheese Spread!! The other day at Whole Foods, I bought some of this cheese on a whim.  I don’t normally buy vegan cheese.

I usually make my own vegan cheese because most store bought vegan cheese contains ingredients I don’t want, or it tastes too processed.

However, this Tree Line cheese had only clean ingredients.  I brought it home and tried it on some crackers.  It was SO GOOD.  I could have eaten the whole thing with a spoon.

The only downside, was it was very expensive for a tiny tub.  So I wanted to create a homemade version that could be made for less money.

This Garlic Herb Cheese Spread tastes pretty close to the original in my opinion.

It’s also gluten free and paleo in addition to being vegan.

  1. Greetings from the UK. This recipe sounds fab! got to make.......Can't get that make of vegan cheese here in UK. BIG thanks for recipe!
    1. It adds a strong tang, very similar to the original store bought version. Did you try it and it's too strong for you?
      1. I have not tried the store bought version. It's a little strong. I think I will put less next time, but past that, it's delicious!
