For a non-dairy cheese, this is probably as close to perfection as things can get, though. Inside the soft rind is where things aren't quite as perfect. It has the same earthy, mushroomy flavors one would expect with a fluffy, bloomy white rind. The texture and appearance of the rind of Kite Hill semi-soft ripened cheese is very much like a standard brie, only not quite as tough. Even people who love and consume dairy regularly will be amazed. For anyone who has given up dairy and misses it, this is a must try. It's also lower in fat and calories than most specialty cheeses. They had an outstanding team of some of the best culinary, cheese-making and scientific experts working on this project, and these wizards have done something extraordinary. ![]() Looking at the company's history, it's no wonder why the cheese came out as well as it did. Lo and behold, a vegan Brie-like cheese has been born! Little did I know that someone would actually figure out a way to do it less than a year after I had that conversation. I told him someone needed to come up with a way to make vegan specialty cheeses and insisted it could be done, though I had no idea how. Years ago, I was chatting with a friend who happens to be vegan, telling him that vegan cheeses weren't very appetizing. Kite Hill has made at least some vegan options more appealing, though. I admire vegans I just can't seem to handle the diet. Even though I'm not vegan, I did give the lifestyle a try many years ago, and I even came up with a vegan truffle recipe that was surprisingly good. Despite my thin, pale appearance, I'm not vegan, but I fit right in the Boulder "bubble" in that I am a self-proclaimed foodie who pays attention to labels. Since I live in Boulder - a health-food eating, yoga-apparel-wearing, Prius-driving, new age community where gluten-free, vegan and organic foods were popular long before they became trends - I felt compelled to sample and review some vegan cheese. ![]()
