Advantages: Tastes like phillie - less than half the price

Disadvantages: None

I have great confidence in the tesco value range but mainly stick to the less 'messed' around with items such as cheese, meat, fruit and veg. The ready meals do not appeal to me and the pies and slices will never have the opportunity to grace my shopping trolley. I do buy the value noodles as they are a fantastic snack for the kids.

When my mum saw this in tesco, knowing how much i love phillie and i absolutely abore the tesco own soft cheese she took it upon herself to risk the 45p and bought it to me to have a try. Her theory was that if i didn't like it then the kids would eat it as they are gannets and will eat anything!

So with much trepidation i took off the plastic lid and peeled back the distinctive red and blue printed foil layer. I toasted some of my hm bread and thought i would forego the butter to really appreciate what i expected to be a dry and bitter taste (as per the normal tesco version of phillie) BUT boy was i wrong and shocked! This cheese is creamy and light and fluffy. It was absolutely delicious and even on a parr with phillie, which is amazing as it is less than half the price!

Calorie and fat content is quite uniform for this type of product so it can be enjoyed as part of a healthy diet. It is lovely in sandwiches and makes for a quick and cheap packed lunch with some cucumber or tomato and is absolutely delish on tesco value ready salted crips or ritz savoury crackers. I also use it in pasta with broccoli or mushrooms as a main meal and a bit odd but youngest son likes it with grapes??? - yet to try the combination myself.

I would definitely recommend you try this if you like the other brands and what have you really got to lose, 45p.................... BARGAIN!

Summary: Try it - what have you got to lose.....
