REFRIGERATED PRODUCT: **PLEASE SEE NOTE BELOW.**

It melts, it stretches AND we think it tastes wonderful!

Note: The price for the 5lb bag INCLUDES COOLING PACKAGING to keep your Daiya fresh during transit.
Shipping charges are extra - SEE BELOW FOR ESTIMATE.

PLEASE NOTE: We are sorry to not be able to offer Bulk bags at a lower price but having Daiya shipped to Eastern Canada from the distributor is quite expensive and explains our higher cost for this product (at least until there is an Eastern distributor). We are therefore offering a FREE Cooling Kit with purchase of Daiya and what we believe are the Lowest 1-day Shipping prices for deliveries to Eastern Canada.

Example
Postal charges for 5 lb Daiya WITH Gel & Cooling Packaging, from Viva Granola to:
- Greater Montreal - 1 day transit: 10.61$ (approx)

We checked with Canada Post and rates from Western Canada to Eastern Canada with 1 day transit are minimum 40$, with NO COOLING GEL & PACKAGING INCLUDED.

ALSO PLEASE NOTE that as we recently learned that retail packages for Daiya will not be available in Canada for at least another 4 to 6 months, we will not be able to offer smaller packages of Daiya until we can find another facility where we can have the Daiya repackaged. We therefore offer the idea of buying a 5-lb bag and freezing it in smaller portions which will save you money in the long run or splitting the cost with a friend. If you have another suggestion for us in the meantime, please don't hesitate to contact us. Thank you for your understanding!

From Daiya Foods' website: "Daiya is a revolutionary new dairy-free vegan cheese that tastes, shreds, melts and stretches like dairy based cheese. Daiya is made with nutritious planted-based ingredients and is:
- 33% less fat than dairy-based cheese with equivalent attributes
- Cholesterol free;
- Trans Fat free;
- Free of Artificial Ingredients;
- Free of Preservatives;
- An excellent source of a naturally occurring vegan vitamin B-12 as well as an excellent source of B vitamins in general."

NOTE: Once the package opened, the Daiya should be consumed within 2 weeks.
Daiya Foods has confirmed that this product is freezable without changes in texture or flavour but like other frozen foods, it should not be refrozen after thawing. Freezing small portions might therefore be worth your while if you don't plan on eating all of it within that time.

From Daiya Food's website: Cooking with Daiya

You can use Daiya in the same way you would use regular cheese.

Pizza Volumes:
It is important to use the optimum amounts of Daiya on pizza for best performance. Below are optimum recommendations resulting from performance tests in mass market pizza franchises throughout North America.
10 inch=110 grams (4oz); 12 inch=160 grams (5.5 oz); 14 inch=220 grams (8 oz); 16 inch=280 grams (10 oz); 18 inch=358 grams (1.5 oz)

Baking with Daiya:
Use Daiya as you would regular cheese. For best results (as a topping such as the top layer of a lasagna) add Daiya in the last 5 - 10 minutes (depending on temperature) when baking. This will yield smooth melting properties without excessive browning.

Tip: Try adding Daiya at the very end after baking is finished, by sprinkling a shredded layer on top of oven-hot food and covering for a few minutes. This preserves the most nutrients and maintains optimum resilience.

Microwave:
Daiya works great in the microwave in tortillas, burittos and whatever you normally would cook with cheese in the microwave. Be careful not to overcook Daiya as like dairy based cheese, it will become tough.
