Vegans rejoice because Trader Joe's has a new Shredded Parmesan Cheese Alternative that's completely dairy-free.
Parmesan cheese is a staple that pairs perfectly with everything from rich pastas to flavorful salads. And now, vegans can enjoy the delicious taste of parmesan too, thanks to Trader Joe's new Shredded Parmesan Cheese Alternative. The brand's new Parmesan Shreds are made from a base of highly refined coconut oil, along with other plant-based ad vegan-friendly ingredients. These ingredients give the cheese "all the same salty, nutty, and supremely savory notes of traditional, dairy-based Parmesan." The Parmesan Shreds even melt just as well as real cheese. This makes the product perfect for vegan and non-vegan dishes alike, such as pastas, soups, salads, and potato-based recipes.
