Is there plant-based cheese that’s a solid brick? All the ones I can find in the store are shreds.

Not quite what you’re looking for, but they make plant-based [Babybel](https://www.groupe-bel.com/en/) cheeses (the ones that come individually wrapped in red wax) now.

There is, but you might have to go to one of those Natural Grocer type stores to look for it. I know my stepdaughter, who is vegan, has bought it in block form before, but when she asked me to pick some up from my regular grocery store all I could find was shreds and slices.

Amazon shows plant based parmesan and mozzarella options.
