Tesco Light Choices Onion and Chive Soft Cheese

Whilst pottering around Tesco killing time a few days agoI spotted this cheese. Having recently rediscovered the delights of Philadelphia cheese, I thought I would give this cheaper alternative a try.

If you compare the fat content of this one to the full fat plain version of Tesco soft cheese, then you'll see that where this has only 6g per 100g, the full fat version has a whopping 26g.

I love bread and I love cheese, but unfortunately my waistline doesn't! Looking for a way that I could still get my cheese fix, but keep the calories low, I came across Tesco light choices soft cheese with onions and chives.

I have a passion for eating bagels for breakfast and sometimes I even have one for lunch especially if I'm in London where there are plenty of quality bagel shops. I tend to also stock up for home and by the time you have slapped some cream cheese on and maybe some smoked salmon they are not the healthiest of snacks so after reading a review about this light cream cheese from Tesco I thought I would give it a go. A 250g tub costs 79p which is pretty good value as you get fair few bagels covered with the one tub. There is a feint aroma of onions when you open the tub but you do have to taqke a big sniff, certainly it is not over powering or very strong. It is ...  Read the complete review
