Just so, what does Chao cheese taste like?
Chao slices are made from coconut and flavored with a Vietnamese fermented soybean curd that is also called chao. The tomato-cayenne flavor was relatively mild, slightly sweet and spicy. The texture was semidry, sort of like a Swiss cheese. On its own, it was just relatively flavorless, though spicy.
Similarly, is vegan cheese healthier than real cheese? If you're avoiding regular cheese because of the saturated fat, you may not need to. Vegan cheeses are typically lower in fat, protein and calcium than regular cheese and are likely gluten-free. Because vegan cheese is a processed food, it tends to be higher in sodium, so check your labels.
Correspondingly, is Chao cheese bad for you?
The coconut oil in Chao Slices also ups the fat content to 4 grams of saturated fat per slice compared to 2 grams of saturated fat in vegan Daiya Cheddar Style Slices and 3 grams of saturated fat in Tofutti's Mozzarella Cheese Slices. But Chao Slices never promised to be healthier than dairy cheese, Lee said.
