 ... primula comes in original, cheese and ham, cheese and chive, cheese and prawns or original light and if you get it in a tub it is only available in original. The tubes are 150g and the tubs are 200g. I prefer the tubes as the cheese is a bit runny so its easier just to squeeze it out of a tube rather than taking it from a tub. The tubes are currently £1.30 in tescos while the tubs are £1.15 so you are getting more for your money with the tubs. The cheese is around 50 calories and 3.8g of fat per 25g squeeze (slight v...more

I love cheese, maybe one of my downfalls as its not exactly healthy but everything in moderation! I like different varieties of cheese like cheddar, brie, cream cheese, babybels, cheese strings ect, most types of cheese really! Primula is a type of cheese spread, its not exactly cream cheese as its not creamy like Philadelphia, its more like laughing cow cheese triangles but more runny (yes that might sound horrible but its really nice!). The primula comes in tubes so you can squeeze the cheese out or it comes in a tub. The primula in tubes is available in more varieties than the primula in a tub. The primula comes in original, cheese and ham, ...  Read the complete review

Yummy yummy! That would be the best way to describe this cheese! I have loved this since I was a little girl when I used to sneak into the fridge and squeeze some out of the tube straight into my mouth - disgusting habit! I had it on my sandwiches for my packed lunches and I still love it now. Ok, if you are a cheese connoisseur who enjoys things like extra mature cheddar and a nice stilton washed down with a nice red wine then this is probably not your bag! But then if that's the case you're probably not a big fan of spread cheese in general. Primula cheese has such a lovely taste, unlike some spread cheeses which don't actually taste of ...  Read the complete review

Just recently I've been on a calcium drive, noticing I get next to no calcium in my diet has found me loitering around the dairy section in the supermarket trying to find items that I both like and contain calcium so a couple of weeks ago when I noticed the tubes of Primula cheese I bought one for about £1.25. They do versions with added ham and chives but I plumped for the plain cheese one. The tubes are 150g and mostly yellow with a blue lid. There is a picture of a cartoon mouse on the front eating a chunk of cheese. The nutritional statistics per 35g squeeze are as follows: 79 calories, 4.5g protein, 0.7g carbohydrates, 6.5g fat of which 3.7g saturates, ...  Read the complete review

My son loves cheese served in any form but I do find the soft cheese doesn't tend to last long once it has been open so when I spotted a tube of Primula cheese and ham creamy cheese in home bargains for 89p I thought it was definitely worth trying. For some reason Primula conjures up an image of childhood cheese like Dairy lea but as I don't particularly remember eating it not sure why. I have actually found a Primula cheese cookbook from the 1950's /1960's so clearly was a popular cheese. Further investigations have found that Primula cheese has been around since 1929. The tube contains 150g and is available in a variety of flavours including ...  Read the complete review

Cheese is one of my favourite foods and in particular soft cheese and spreads. My number one favourite soft cheese on the market is Primula who produce a variety of flavoured soft cheeses. In their original range they have four flavours: Original, Cheese and Chives, Cheese and Ham and Cheese and Prawn. I am a vegetarian so have only tried the first two listed here. In my review I will focus on the Cheese and Chives variety which is a firm favourite of mine. Primula soft cheese is best known for being sold in malleable, squeezy tubes (although they now also have tubs). The tubes are made of sturdy plastic so never split. They are also easy to fold over when ...  Read the complete review
