I am not a great lover of cheese spreads as I find them very bland and artificial.
But there is one cheese spread that I can't get enough of and that is PHILADELPHIA. I could eat this till the cows come home, I even eat it straight from the tub or if I buy the block, I cut great big chunks from it.
But this op is not about your average "Philli" spread, no this is about PHILADELPHIA BLUE CHEESE, LIMITED EDITION FLAVOUR.
I spotted this while going to grab my usual "philli" tub. It was priced at £1.13 for 150g, this was at my local Tesco store.
I thought I would give it a try as I do like Blue Cheese anyway, and seeing it mixed with the "philli" I couldn't see why I wouldn't like it. Try most things (within reason) once.
The tub itself is identical to the normal "philli" tub, it just has the words BLUE CHEESE written on it with LIMITED EDITION FLAVOUR in the top left hand corner, with a pic of blue cheese in the botton left hand side.
When I got home I just had to try it. Normally I have "Philli" and marmite on toast, but I didn't think this flavour would mix with the marmite to well. So it was home alone on this occasion.
Peeling the seal off the smell is quite strong regarding the BLUE CHEESE, and does over ride the normal smell of "philli" that I am used to.
It is thick and creamy in texture, (although not as thick as the usual spread) and looks identical to the normal "philli" spread. I was expecting little blue bits in it, and was quite surprised that it didn't.
It was easy to spread, although I don't normally spread this stuff, just put great big dollops on the toast.
The taste is just as strong as the smell, but if you like both cheeses you will love this.
This cheese cannot be frozen and is made with pasterised milk.
To enjoy this at its best, eat within 5 days of opening.

Advantages: taste, versatility Disadvantages: might not be around for ever
I first discovered this product a few weeks ago, and was so impressed I nominated it for inclusion on this page. Being a cheese lover and dieting is not easy - the two do not mix! I tried the lite cheese spreads and find it hard to believe that they are marketed as cheese due to complete lack of taste. When I saw this I thought I'd try it as blue cheese has such a distinctive flavour I thought it would be hard to disguise it into the usual bland ... ...disappointed - it really does taste of blue cheese and because of the strong flavour, you only need a little to make a satisfying snack.
I have only seen it on sale in Tesco's to date, and am very concerned that it is packaged as limited edition. Hopefully, if enough people become fans they will introduce it as a regular brand.
Try it - you'll be glad you did.

Advantages: It's got garlic Disadvantages: Who cares about the herbs
as the oval shape in blue with the word Philadelphia in blue too and under that Garlic & Herbs in green writing.
Also under that is a few leafy things, which one would presume is the herbs, and a couple of cloves of garlic.
Even Kraft must not really care about the herbs as they can?t even be bothered to tell you what herbs are actually in it. All it says in the ingredient list is that there are herbs in it. I for one am happy enough at that as I don?t really care either what herbs they are.
So not caring about herbs lets move right on and dig in ?
Thick, creamy, white, garlic goodness spread on crusty bread in HUGE dollops. Mmmmmmmm yummy !! It?s smells fresh not like sweaty socks as some cheeses do and is pleasantly garlicky ( I think that is how it?s spelled ) though being me I would always opt for just a tad more ...
