Soy Cheese is a airy cheese analogue made from soy, available in many of the same varieties as its dairy counterpart. This product is usually consumed due to certain dietary restrictions, like veganism, religious restrictions (soy cheese is in general kosher pareve, after approval of a Rabbi), lactose intolerance or milk allergy, or a severe disease affecting the intestinal tract, which destroys the entire producion of the lactase enzyme, necessary to digest the milk sugar / lactose found in dairy products.
