Advantages: quite good as a low fat sandwich fillingt

Disadvantages: none

I ocasionally buy myself one of the packs of Tesco xtra light choices soft cheeses for my sandwich fillings for work. I try to kid myself I am going to diet.

This product costs 79p for the 250g rectangular tub. I could choose the standard extra light cheese or the one with garlic and herbs but today I choose the onion and chive variety.
The similar Philadelphia one costs £1.39 for 200g.

So come on talk to me while I make my sandwich. Slices of bread and a knife handy. I take the pot from my fridge; check the use by date that's fine plenty of time. I can keep the opened pot in the fridge for 5 days or use before the use by date.

I take the see through plastic lid of and then peel back the foil lid this has all the info on it.
The cheese inside is a white colour and sniffing it, it smalls lightly of onion. I spread this cheese onto my bread no need to use butter or margarine as well. The consistency of this is good easy to spread. I do not need a great deal of spread perhaps on one sandwich a day I might just make the pot last a week the 5 working days. If I have some lettuce or a tomato I might add those to the sandwich too.
This cheese spreads well on oat cakes or any other savoury biscuit for cheese.

Do you want a taste oh go on then. Its pleasant quite mild a light cheesy tasty with onion and chives not too strong, but enough to know they are there.
When I buy the Tesco extra light cheese without the onion and chive flavouring I will sometimes add some chives as I have several clumps in my garden.


Would I recommend this onion and chive cheese? Yes it suits me fine.
