This Revolutionary Ingredient Is The Secret To A Great Pizza (And Happier Planet)

Pizza night is everyone's favorite night. The comforting smell of a freshly baked pie has the power to turn even the crummiest of days into the highlight of the week. But while this delicious menu staple has rightfully earned its place as a universally loved dish, our planet doesn't love 'za as much as we do. As it turns out, the standard pizza isn't so eco-friendly—but we also don't want to compromise on something we love so much! Luckily, we don't have to.

But before the panic sets in, we're not here to suggest you give up pizza entirely—we wouldn't dare. With plant-based options like Miyoko's Liquid Vegan Pizza Mozzarella, you can enjoy all the pies you want, without the environmental impact. Even if you've tried vegan pizza before, we suggest wiping your mind of any previous experiences… As the world's first pourable, plant-milk mozzarella, Miyoko's Liquid Mozzarella is no average vegan cheese. It melts, bubbles, and browns just like the traditional pizza cheese we're accustomed to. And the taste? Three words: Drop. Dead. Delicious. 

Meltability has always been a concern when it comes to vegan cheese—especially when we're talking pizza. That's why the founder of Miyoko's Creamery, Miyoko Schinner, set out to create a revolutionary version of vegan mozzarella. Most of the vegan cheeses you see at the grocery store are presented in shredded form, but cheese shreds use anti-caking agents to prevent clumping, which ironically prohibits melting. In order to re-create the melt quality of traditional dairy cheese, Miyoko stripped out the solids and ingredients that hinder meltability. The result: a game-changing, liquid vegan cheese.

Miyoko's Creamery strives to ensure that their artisanal products are just as sustainable as they are tasty. In fact, their cashew-based cheeses generate up to 98% less greenhouse gas emissions than animal-based counterparts. In the case of mozzarella, this difference is particularly significant. Imagine what it could do for our planet if even half of the pizza consumed in our country was made with plant-based cheese. If more pizza connoisseurs gave Miyoko's mozz a shot, they'd be jumping to make the switch.
