"This is a great spread for vegetarians and also a lovely dairy free cheese alternative for lactose intolerant cheese lovers. This can be served as a spread, or rolled into balls, and then rolled into chives to make a lovely little alternative cheese balls. Herbs, chives, spices or garlic could be added to this cheese for a little more flavor if you wanted. This cheese will keep well in the fridge for 5 days. "From Australian Macadamia's""
