Jars of Fun: Vegan Parm, Olives, and Pomade

The Delivery: Olives from Musco Family Olive Co, Morrocco Method Int'l pomade (not vegan), and Parmela vegan parmesan replacer

Staff Pick: Vegan parm!

The DL: Made from fermented ingredients such as rice, nuts, and soy, this cruelty-free parmesan substitute from Parmela is a welcome addition to the VN pantry. We can't wait to sprinkle the stuff onto Managing Editor Elizabeth Castoria's dad's hearty homemade pasta sauce and meatballs—truly the stuff of legends, if you ask us.
