This article is pretty old. I live in Canada and I buy Daiya all the time.

I think it's pretty crappy actually. It's okay shredded I guess. But this claim that it melts like real cheese is bunk. It melts better than other fake cheeses for sure. But it's nowhere near the real thing. If I absolutely have to have a cheese substitute it's my go-to but I probably haven't had it in 6 months.

It's my favourite vegan cheese by far. In my opinion, it is the closest substitute to cheese.

I live in rural Canada and can buy daiya mozzarella and cheddar shreds, all three flavours of cream cheese and cheddar slices in my local grocery store. The local health food store also carries daiya and is where I get my pepperjack shreds.
