Making Raw Cheese Taste Cheesy!

In my search for the ultimate nut cheese, i've seen and tried numerous recipes containing various ingredients.  But one of the ingredients that interested me most that i've seen used time and time again is Nutrional Yeast (NY).  It interests me for 2 reasons, firstly it's flavour...It's just so cheesy!  The second reason is that I was wondering why the hell yeast was being used in raw recipes! :-0  I've since gained a better understanding of NY and now see it as having many benefits and a worthy place in my diet, not least because of the b-vitamins it conatains.  Let me explain...

Nutritional yeast is very different from the yeast that we see used in baking, dairy and alcohol as it is completely inactive.  It is grown specifically for it's nutritional qualities from pure strains of Saccharomyces Cerevisiae (Latin, don't ask!!!) grown on a mixture of cane and beet molasses.
