FAQs

Can I taste the mushrooms in this cheese?

Not at all! The Cordyceps mushroom extract is completely flavorless in this recipe. You get all the functional benefits while enjoying a pure, classic, and savory cheddar profile.

What helps this cheese melt so smoothly compared to other vegan cheeses?

The secret lies in the balance of fully refined coconut oil, tapioca, and organic lima beans. This artisan formulation avoids heavy protein isolates, allowing it to dissolve smoothly into hot plant milk without getting stringy or separating.

How should I thaw the block after it has been frozen?

For the best results, transfer the frozen block to your refrigerator 24 hours before you plan to use it. Allowing it to thaw slowly helps retain its moisture balance so it shreds perfectly and achieves that signature Velveeta-style smooth melt.
