This was mind-blowing, I think it became a pantry staple for us! I prepared it with the vegan carbonara dish and it was the vegan parmesan they all asked for! Good one PUL, thanx!

Absolutely delicious. I couldn’t believe how good it was. I’m definitely not missing out on dairy parmesan.

I’m loving this app! Thank you for all your thoughtful attention to detail. And, as for this recipe, fast and delish. Tried it on tomato salad and gluten-free bow ties… added the perfect pizzazz.

Can it be kept in the freezer for longer? 😊

Hey Charlie, definitely! In a well sealed container, you can freeze it for up to 3 months 🙂
