Colby Cheeze (Vegan) image

Tangy but mild, orange colored cheez that slices well for sandwiches and snacks. It also makes fantastic grilled cheez sandwiches! If you like, shred it with a light touch and sprinkle it over salads or baked potatoes. Adapted from The Ultimate Uncheese Cookbook by Jo Stepaniak! For more info on uncheez, check out Gooda cheez.

I'm not sure if it's just me, but I found this cheese to be a little too salty.

This vegan Colby cheeze is amazing! It's so creamy and flavorful, and it melts perfectly. I used it to make a grilled cheese sandwich and it was the best grilled cheese I've ever had.
