The Tofutti cheese slices melt pretty well, and they contain no casein.  I use
them to make grilled cheese sandwiches and to make pizza.  Granted, they don't
melt well enough that two slices of tofutti cheese will stick together, but you
still get the feeling and taste of a gooey grilled cheese sandwich.  That, and
they taste good!

The Tofutti products are slowly migrating to the Northwest.  I've found all of
the "ice cream" products.  Plus "Better Than Cream Cheese" and the Cheese
slices.  I hope the bulk, grated cheese arrives soon.
