Violife the cheese alternative and more, besides

I'm neither a vegan or even a vegetarian, but I cannot eat dairy cheese for health reasons. 

Whilst we were discussing what to give up for Lent, my wife encouraged me to give up dairy cheese for Lent, which, to her -and my!- surprise I was able to do so.

Within weeks we noticed that my skin was now perfect, my hair stopped being greasy and my hair started to grow back, after years of receding. 

As a result cheese is now a very rare item in my diet. But I admit that after a lifetime of eating (too much?) cheese I am still missing it. Especially cream cheese for some reason!

Whilst browsing through the Morrison's "free from section" I found a tub of Violife spread. I added it to my shopping trolley and took it home.

It was the Creamy Original type and was nicely creamy and absolutely delicious. If someone had spread some on a cracker and handed it to me, I really do not think I could have told that it wasn't dairy cheese.

Next time I'm off to the shops I'll look out for Violife Creamy Garlic and Herbs and also Creamy Cheddar Flavour.

Violife also has a wide range of other vegan-friendly products including spread, blocks, sliced, grated and Vioblock which is designed for baking, cooking, etc.
