Does vegan Parmesan cheese go bad? ›

Vegan Parmesan cheese can usually last 1-3 months after the 'best-before' date if unopened and stored properly. Once opened, it tends to retain its quality for about 1-2 weeks if stored in the refrigerator. Homemade varieties should be consumed within 1 week for optimal freshness.

Can vegans eat yeast? ›

Although yeast is technically alive—it's a single-celled organism that metabolizes food into energy—it's no more an animal than other fungi such as mushrooms. Therefore, yeast is generally accepted as part of a vegan diet.

The reason for this, according to The Takeout, is that vegan cheese lacks casein, the protein that causes regular dairy cheese to melt.

Yes, yes, one thousand times yes! Long gone are days where vegan cheese merely got warm and soft, but wouldn't come close to melting.

Pecorino Romano is likely the first potential substitute to come to mind, and it's sharp, salty, and acidic — so if you like those qualities in your Parm, the Pecorino Romano route is a good one. Morillo particularly recommends Fiore Sardo, an aged raw sheep's milk cheese from Sardinia.
