I’m surprised this is news. I mean how else do you make cheese? Isn’t most dairy cheese just fermented milk and rennet?
Likewise, weren’t a lot of the original vegan cheeses different forms of tofu?

Ancient. Technology.
Good news. A fair few of the plant based cheese taste disgusting.
And the good ones are difficult to get and very expensive.
Indeed 10-20 years ago the 'fake cheese' that was available had no lasting appeal. However, a taco shop near me has a vegan cheese from Mexico. And DANG!, it's super tasty and the texture is right. And the shops prices are very reasonable.
Lucky you ;-)
My point being, in case you missed it, is that it's neither "difficult to get", nor "very expensive".
Like I said, Lucky you. I don't have a taco shop nearby, nor anywhere that sells Mexican cheese. The Mexican place here in Ware only has the generic stuff they ise in gast food places that tastes of coconut and plastic.
Good ones (Tyne Chease) are usually mail order. The deli near me occasionally has some blue from somewhere at £8.50 for a small piece.
I've settled for Violife and Morrisons dairy free block.
Anything that improves the quality, price and availability is good news though.
Ancient technology turns milk into something we want to eat and that's delicious and that's been eaten since the dawn of time.
