3. Refrigerate for two hours before serving.
4. SPECIAL NOTE: If you would like to age the cheese and make it a probiotic powerhouse. Add 6 probiotic capsules or use rejuvelac instead of water. Let the cheese sit in a bowl and age overnight before rolling it into a log and refrigerating for 2 hours.

This vegan cheese log is absolutely amazing. It’s my favorite cheese and makes a great Hor D’oeuvre. Serve with living food seed or flax crackers. During the winter holiday season add dried cranberries for a special festive look and taste.
