Great to hear you like it so much!
Just one point, which I consider important--I don't think the cashew cheeses are a ...
cheese substitute
... but actually cheese. I think all the derisory remarks about the 'substitutes' are conceptually correct in that all this unfermented, artificially flavoured, etc. stuff, even if tasty, just isn't cheese as such. However, I think that cashew cheeses actually are cheeses. Someone might still consider this kind of cheese a substitute for another kind of cheese, but I don't think they're substitutes (of another kind) for cheese as such.
I think extending the concept of cheese to the analogues is stretching it too far, but including nut cheeses to me is a valid way of extending it.

Iamnutok is the only cheese substitute I’d eat nowadays. I’ve been buying them for a couple of years and not got tired of them. The Paprika, Smoky or Pepper varieties are great. I use them with pickle, onion and rolls/beigals. Not tried cooking or grilling them.
