Fermenting and aging
cheeses, and Miyoko's newest product called VeganMozz that's nearly indistinguishable from dairy mozzarella, are
category game - changers, pivoting traditional dairy eaters toward nondairy
alternatives that are better for their health, and for the planet.
In 2012, per the Specialty Food Association report, total specialty food sales topped $ 85.87 billion, with
cheeses and
