To produce plant-based cheeses that feel and taste like dairy cheese, scientists have their sights set on fermentation. In a new research result, University of Copenhagen scientists demonstrate the potential of fermentation for producing climate-friendly cheeses that people want to eat.

Good news. A fair few of the plant based cheese taste disgusting.

And the good ones are difficult to get and very expensive.

I’m surprised this is news. I mean how else do you make cheese? Isn’t most dairy cheese just fermented milk and rennet?

Likewise, weren’t a lot of the original vegan cheeses different forms of tofu?

Anyone remember the "Gary" meme? Can't believe that was 7 years ago.

Ancient technology turns milk into something we want to eat and that's delicious and that's been eaten since the dawn of time.
