A new day, a new vegan cheese. Could I be happier? Dear reader, I could not.

Not long ago, I posted a round up of a few vegan cheeses I'd tried, and because I love vegan cheese, I need very little excuse to do the same again. Stay with me, dear reader, for a journey through three vegan cheeses that were new to me, and whether they merit running to your nearest vegan shop shouting 'take my money' or exile to vegan cheese Narnia.

First up, Kinda Co's Faux Lox and Dill Cream Cheese. Aside from the sheer childish joy I get from saying 'faux lox', Kinda Co's salmon replacement is a slam dunk. I've previously never tried a vegan cream cheese that I loved (sorry Daiya fans, I just can't get on board) but this is stupendous. Here it is on top of a bagel that made my neighbour made and shared with me. Damn, I have good neighbours:

Frugality warning: this lovely faux lox is not cheap - but that doesn't mean it isn't value for money. It's delicious and the pot goes a surprisingly long way. The sweet, heady dill and carrot chunks are fab on crackers, toast, in sandwiches, and with pretty much anything. I went and bought a new pot straight after I finished the old one, that's how good it is.

You can get your own supply via the Kinda Co website, or they do seem to pop up at a few vegan markets. They're also stocked in a few vegan shops in London, and if you're down this way, you can order and pick it up from their shop in Angel if you order by email. They sell lots of other cheesy goodies, including a feta alternative and a nacho dip, in case you're feeling spendy.
