Lactose Free Cheese Pizza
Prepared, Cooked, and Ready to Eat in Just 20 Minute
Chef's notes

My lactose intolerant friends will be happy to know I discovered a good lactose free vegan mozzarella cheese alternative for pizza.

“Violife” a Greek company produces vegan cheese substitutes including “dairy free Just like MOZZARELLA SHREADS“. According to its packaging, it is not only 100% Vegan, but also free of soy, gluten, lactose, nuts, and preservatives. 

I gave it an honest test, using my most popular quick 20-minute naked plain “cheese” recipe without distractions from added toppings. If it did not meet my wishful and expectations, I would know right away. 

Once oven preheated, dough ready to be formed, ingredients opened and handy, pizza would be table ready in only 20 minutes. Test results are below.

Results: Cheese substitute melted and browned when baked (pictured above). It was a little creamer and tasted close to common brands of shredded mozzarella I normally use. I cannot wait to introduce to my lactose intolerant friends

Check out their website, VIOLIFEFOODS.COM for more information including additional products and availability in your area. P.s. I do not have an affiliation with the company.
