I needed some basic soft cheese to make a New York style vanilla cheesecake that would not cost me a fortune, as each cheesecake required quite a large amount of soft cheese. Many other soft cheese brands were either charging ridiculous amounts for a tiny portion of soft cheese or adding salt to it, which would not taste very good inside cheesecake. One 250g tub cost me just over 50p, which was the cheapest offer I could find, and Sainsburys was one of my more trusted supermarket own label brands, so I was reasonably happy with it. Bear in mind that soft cheese is heavier and denser than butter, and I was a little surprised at how thin the package was- but ...  Read the complete review

I love any kind of cheese, and I saw this one from the Sainsbury's Basics range of their lower branded foods and it was only 45p for 200g, and I bought it because I am trying to lose weight and I love it on crackers for a snack in between meals. It comes in a white rectangle white plastic carton with the usual orange and white colours of the lower brands and it can easily be spotted in the fridges and it comes with a nice transparent cover and inside it has a foil pull back wrapper to reveal the very soft creamy cheese. It is a very good texture and very soft, it is a very good quality for a cheap cheese and it is incredibly tasty, I love to eat it ...  Read the complete review

Sainsbury's basics soft cheese. I love to have cheese and crackers, and have recently been purchasing some crackers with spring onion from poundland, and was searching for my usual cheese spread along the cheese isle and discovered this cheese spread, part of the basic range from Sainsbury's, and I must admit that I have stumbled upon a bit of a bargain in the soft cheese department. This comes in a hard plastic white tub, with a see through plastic lid, so washed out could become a reusuable pot for whatever you like to store, it has the basics label with a picture of some of the cheese spread looks like its spread upon a rivita biscuit, and ...  Read the complete review

I bought a tub of this Sainsbury's Basics Soft Cheese a few days ago, whilst out doing my shopping. It cost only 45 pence for a tub containing 200g. This is a lot less than branded soft cheeses, such as Philadelphia. The packaging is the usual rectangular shaped box, with the Sainsbury's Basics orange and white logo, and is all very plain and simple, but I suppose that is what makes it much cheaper than others with more attractive packaging. I think that the bright colours make it stand out, though. The soft cheese has an appearance that is the same as any other, and it is really soft and creamy. It spreads well on to bread, crackers and toast. I ...  Read the complete review

I love cheese spread, particularly the Philadelphia style cheese spreads, as they are so flexible . So, when I saw this for just 45p for 200g in the chiller aisle of my local Sainsburys I decided to pick some of this up and see how it compared . Its a simple white plastic tub with orange writing, and full nutritional info and ingredients . The top lid is clear plastic, and underneath this is a foil lid that you peel back to get at the cheese . Peeling back this lid is easy . The cheese is a lovely white colour, and very moist looking ,and the tub was generously filled . There isn't really any smell to the cheese other than a slightly creamy one, ...  Read the complete review
