This Cheese has been discontinued at Pick n Pay Stores in Pretoria.
cheezly (checkers in sea point) was my favorite! don't know what markus's comment was supposed to mean...i'm a muslim vegan and there are many. when i asked for vegan cheese at St. Peter's Sq. PnP they simply told me they don't have it- nothing about religion.
I'd love to find a shop that sells tasty vegan cheese in Cape Town southern peninsula area. Maybe a checkers or pick n pay (is cheezly the best?). >>> VSA: 'best' is a personal choice when it comes to flavour, Keziah.
I went to Pick n Pay and ask them for lactose free cheese. ANSWER: We cater mostly for the Muslim Community. I'm Lactose intollerence
If you are looking for vegan cheese in Stellenbosch, the Checkers in the centre where Mug & Bean is sells Cheezly and Violife.
If any one wants to know where to buy this cheese, Sheese and Violife they can get it from the Grove Mall, Woodland Mall and the Lifestyle Center in Centution.
I emailed Shoprite Checkers to ask which branch stocks this item. I got this reply:
Thank you for contacting the Shoprite supermarkets chain. With regards to your enquiry, please be advised that we do not stock this product.
Hi,I've desperately been searching for vegan cheese for quite some time. Any ideas where in the East Rand I may be able to find vegan cheese.
>>>
VSA:best ask our readership on our Facebook page.
Can anyone tell me if it is possible that these products can be shipped to Namibia, it is such a nightmare being vegan here, no dairy alternative in the whole country... Please help!!
I have tried several Checkers and Pick n Pay and can not find Cheezly at any of them.
I will be over the moon if someone can tell me where i can buy Cheezly in the Pretoria area or who stocks it.
LOVE this cheese, but cannot find it stocked anywhere!
Have a dairy allergy and can only eat vegan non dairy cheeses.
Please let me know where I can get this Cheezly / Sheese in Pretoria.
Pick 'n Pay advertised it at one point as a special, but they did not even know what I was asking about, when we went to buy some (even though we could show them that they advertised it). They did not even try getting hold of it for me.
I would be over the moon to find a store which stocks Cheesly in Cape Town. If anyone has any info, would love to know. I'll be keeping an eye on this site. Going to check out the site www.distributors.co.za and get in touch with Pick 'n Pay too. The hunt begins. My son is completely casein and gluten intolerant, we take joy in making him a variety of foods and keep him well and healthy.

VSA: I know Checkers in Sea Point has Cheezly. I'm sure there are other places too. Maybe other site visitors can add them here?
I recently bought Cheezly for the first time. I must admit I was sceptical. I tried it for the first time yesterday, and I must say, I am impressed. I now have no reason to go out and get (cow) cheese :)
As far as I know, Checkers no longer stocks Cheezly - they do stock another brand of vegan cheese which I think tastes awful - more yeast than cheese. But maybe someone might like the taste. I guess after Cheezly I got spoiled!
You can get Cheezly at the Douglasdale Pick n Pay but I have not seen it in other stores.
I also contacted the distributors and bought some directly from them. http://www.distributors.co.za/ - if you phone them they are very helpful.
Does anyone know if these or other vegan cheese can be found in East London? I have not found any cheese yet.
nterested in starting my ow vegan retaurant or shop

Mock Parmesan Cheese Over 500 outlets and stockists throughout South Africa, including Dis-Chem, Spar and health shops. |

I've been watching alot of shows that inspire my fingers to do more, I'd like to know if I can get the powder parmesan cheese around North West, South Africa?
I phoned and went to Spar and Pick n Pay, they both told me that they don't sell any lactose free cheese at all, and will never, because nobody is buying it. Thanks Markus
If you are used to animal based Parmesan then this is not going to be what you are looking for. It is very tasty but it does not taste like Parmesan cheese. So if you have been vegan for ages and have not had any imported/American vegan Parmesan (made by Galaxy Foods in the US) then you might like this but otherwise, enjoy it for what it is, a yummy savoury sprinkle.
No-D-Cheese Available from good stores all around Johannesburg such as Bryanston, Sandton and Lenasia. |

Sheese Stockists incl. some Spars and health shops in Jo'burg & Pretoria. In Cape Town at some Checkers, Pick n Pay and Sea Point Spar. |

I live in the Sydenham, Johannesburg area. Please can you tell me the nearest stockist of the lactose free cheese. Thanks
If any one wants to know where to buy this cheese and Cheezly they can get it from the Grove Mall,Woodland Mall and the Lifestyle Center in Centution.

VSA: Best ask our readers who live in KZN on our Facbook wall, Melanie.
Please could someone help me? Can anyone name a shop i can get this from in Pretoria?
>>>
VSA: we don't have those details Liezel. Best to ask the large audience on our Facebook page. :)
I am looking for this cheese could some one please help me find it in the Pretoria east area. I found the creamy style at Woodlands but was looking for more.
This cheese is to die for. I recommend it to anyone.

Please can you let me know where in Durban I can get Tofutti. None of the local Checkers around me seem to stock anything other than Cheezly which is awful.
Please can you source which Checkers in Cape Town stock this?
I can't find this cheese in any store in the Pretoria east area. Would really like to try this cheese as I want to try something different
interested to have a vegan shop/restaurant
Vegusto No-MooHave you been looking for a vegan cheese that really tastes like cheese? Then here is the chance to taste the purely plant based No-Muh specialties from Switzerland, the land of cheese. These specialties, handmade from a vegan production line, are now also available in South Africa.5 varieties are available - Classic (mild, slightly sour), Herb (mild herb bouquet), Walnuts (mild-aromatic), Piquant (strongly aromatic) and Mild-Aromatic (mild aromatic). As far as we know, No-Muh Piquant is the only vegan cheese alternative with an edible rind. No-Muh cheeses are available at Checkers nationwide. |

Checkers does not seem to stock this any longer.
I tried this cheese because it was the only vegan cheese I was able to get. I will never eat this again ... even though I have this huge craving for cheezy pizza. Rather eat pizza without cheese than try this variety please.
This is the vilest cheese I have ever had. I would not recommend it to anyone, but hey, to each his own.
I have tried all varieties of this cheese and personally I can't stand it. Not to say that someone else might like it - vegan cheese is definitely a personal taste choice! I found it more like yeast flavoured and when I made toasted cheese sandwiches with it the whole house smelled yeasty - and not in a good way for me. But do try it yourself :).
Violife A quality vegan alternative to real cheese that is dairy-free, gluten-free, soy-free, palm-oil free and GMO free. Avaliable in 4 flavours - Original, Cheddar, Mozarella, For Pizza. Tastes like cheese, melts like cheese, but isn't cheese! Find Violife at Pick n Pay and Checkers nationwide. |

If you are looking for vegan cheese in Stellenbosch, the Checkers in the centre where Mug & Bean is sells Cheezly and Violife.
This cheese is the best - the taste is just like real cheese, Thanks for bringing this cheese to Pretoria.
I am absolutely in love with this cheese. Have managed to source a few different variables in flavour from place to place and it has earned a rather large spot in my monthly shopping basket. The only hard part about a strict vegan diet, was giving up my cheese. THIS is almost exactly like the real deal and its so versatile. THANK YOU VIOLIFE for giving me my life back. Viva le Cheese Viva!
