While shopping in Tesco the other day, I decided to pick up some feta cheese (or it's equivalent, to be precise) - after all, it's nearly the summer and time to eat more healthily. On the shelf I spotted this Tesco Value Salad Cheese for only 77p - after checking it was suitable for vegetarians (as not all cheeses of this type are) it went in my basket, as I'm a student on a budget and need to save money where I can. The cheese comes in standard Tesco Value packaging: white with a blue and red design. The packaging is basic but distinctive with a small picture of a salad on the front. The label states that there are 125 calories per 100g of cheese: as the pack ...  Read the complete review

I had read about this cheese on the Money Saving Expert website as a good alternative to Feta, so I decided to give it a go as the reviews had been good - perhaps I should have checked the Dooyoo site first?! I quite enjoy Greek salads and so I intended to cut this in to small chunks to add to my salad as I would do with regular Feta cheese. Feta cheese is a salty, curd cheese which is made from sheep's milk and is absolutely lovely, especially with salads! Whilst the Tesco Value Salad Cheese doesn't claim to be a Feta cheese, it does say that it is a semi-hard cheese for a Greek style salad and so it does imply that it is a substitute for ...  Read the complete review

Tesco value salad cheese is the value version of feta, a brined curd cheese made of sheeps (and occasionally a little goats) milk. Feta is crumbly, salty and very moist, if you store it out of its brine solution it will dry quickly and loose its pleasurable texture. It has a rough surface and is hard to "slice" because it breaks apart easily. It's one of those foods that is so much more than mere taste alone. Does the value cheese live up to this? It claims "A semi hard cheese for a Greek Style salad" and comes in thick plastic wrap that looks like any other value product. I bought this because it was half the price of my normal tesco feta, ...  Read the complete review

I always like some Greek feta cheese particularly in the summer it makes a nice snack with salad or on toast, I was fancying some all the way to Tesco but when I got there the shelf was bare so I asked an assistant if they had any in the stockroom. She told me no not until later that day but grabbed a packet of Tesco Value Salad Cheese and said why not try this it is just the same and half the price. A quick look at the packet told me it was indeed half the price and was a semi hard Greek style salad cheese, so unable to get the real deal I thought I would give it a try. Anybody who has had feta cheese before will know that it is very ...  Read the complete review

As I am on a money saving misson, I bought this product to add to a greek salad on a recent trip to the supermarket. The packaging gives the impression that the quality of this product isnt going to be great, but I have had many of the basics products from Tesco and been happy with them so I though i'd give it a shot. Well, when i opened it, the cheese looked like a block of plastic, it had no real texture either and when cut into chunks and added to the salad, it didnt really add anything that wasnt already there. It has quite a bland taste - it was defintely missing the creaminess of of more expensive fetas and didnt even have the saltiness of the cheaper ...  Read the complete review
