Another very important ingredient included in my recipe is agar agar powder, this is used to make the cheese firm and slice-able. Agar agar is derived from a South East Asian seaweed, not to be confused with agar powder which is of the same substance, yet is a milder version used for making vegan-based gelatin products like jelly and cheesecakes etc. As we don't want our cheese to be the consistency of jelly, be sure to buy agar agar powder. I get mine here, i also find one small 50g packet it lasts me ages, as there's enough to make half a dozen batches of cheese. This keeps me going for many months depending how often i make up a batch.
Agar has no taste, no smell, no calories, no sugar, no carbs, no fat and is loaded with fibre, in fact it consists of 80% fibre, so it can be used as a safe alternative to laxatives. Agar is also an effective appetite suppressant, although the effects aren't instantaneous so do not rely on this to stop you eating the whole block of cheese at once, yes it is that good, and no i do not recommend you eat the entire block in one sitting. so please reserve restraint. ;)
