Advantages: It's cheese and it's rather low fat! Disadvantages: Shops can only stock so much of it!
...The product in question is: Kraft Philadelphia LIGHT cream cheese – the Garlic and Herb variety. Two of my favourite things being cheese and garlic, so now you all know that you are safe as I am not a vampire. I just can not help it – garlic is wonderful! Anyway, back to the point of this opinion…
…I am unfortunately always trying to diet but cheese is one of my downfalls. Luckily one of the things I love to do is find a ... ...two longer sides had the Kraft Philadelphia light logo on along with a picture of some herbs and two garlic cloves. The first of the shorter side had a big ‘V’ in red and white on it which of course meant that it was suitable for vegetarians. Also there was a green and white arrow sign in a circle but I am unsure of what this means. There was some numbers and letters and a little bit of advice which stated that you should eat it within ...

Advantages: Tasty, spreadableand scrummy Disadvantages: It gets eaten too quickly
...Philadelphia is made by Kraft and is advertised on TV, although not recently, by a couple of dippy women – yes you remember the ads now don’t you. I bought a 200g pot for £1.29. The pots are about 3 x 4.5 inches and about an inch tall. They are mainly grey in colour with green highlights. A clear plastic lid covers a foil top. The clear plastic lid is there to reseal the pot once you have opened the foil bit – the foil is fairly easy to open, unlike ... ...bit flimsy though and it always seems to get knocked off in the fridge which means the open end of the cheese dries out. This is a shame because it is the only downside to a quality product.
The cheese is described as a ‘medium fat soft cheese with garlic and herbs’ – what more can I say. Well, when you first open the foil you are greeted with a very herby aroma and a hint of soft processed cheese. I can’t detect any garlic in the smell. The cheese ...

Advantages: It's got garlic Disadvantages: Who cares about the herbs
...cheese. This has the usual Kraft logo as well 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 ... ...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. And yeah there are the green bits, which are no doubt bits of herbs.

Advantages: Good packaging, fantastic taste, Good use of ingredients Disadvantages: None at all in my opinion.
...of the cover has the Kraft logo on it as well as the name of the product, Philadelphia with garlic and herbs; this is in attractive looking lilac writing. The front of the product also gives some nutritional information and the background picture is that of a blue sky and green hilltops. The back of the product has ingredient listings, further nutritional information, storage instructions and allergy advice.
When it came to opening the packaging ... ...go! The cheese is quite thick in texture but it is also quite smooth which makes it really easy to spread. Again, like my friend I decided to have my Philadelphia on a bagel and I did find the cheese just glided onto the bagel with no real effort required.
The cheese is a dull white colour but it is also speckled with the green herbs and has a great look about it. You could smell the garlic which at first did panic me as I was going to be eating ...

Kraft Philadelphia Light Garlic and Herbs is a medium fat soft cheese made in Germany. I like to taste cheese of different nations because cheese can taste very different. Price and Package ------------------------- This cheese comes in a white oval plastic tub which contains 300 g of soft cheese. The lid is silver coloured plastic. The tub can be opened and re-closed easily and keeps the cheese fresh. Naturally it has to be refrigerated. Its price ... ...think. Now (24 November 2009) it is on offer buy 1 and add 1 free. Taste and texture ---------------------- It is a white thick cheese that can be spread easily. There are small pieces of green herbs in it. The garlic cannot be observed as it has very mild taste but the herbs give the cheese a very nice taste. There is a secret mixture of herbs in it and none of them is dominating so it has a very pleasant taste. Ingredients -------------- Added ...

Advantages: Mild garlic taste but lovely creamy flavours and thick texture Disadvantages: Price
...creamy soft cheese manufactured by Kraft (a massive manufacturer of a whole array of food brands).
I like flavoursome cheese and seeing as I love soft cheese with flavouring like garlic, chives, herbs etc...this looked really appealing - Kraft Philadelphian Light Garlic and Herbs.' By 'Light' they actually mean, less fat and calories than the original. It's not 'low fat' and the product even details it to be - 'a medium fat soft cheese with garlic ... ...2.3g of saturated fat per 30g serving. I don't know how much a 30g serving rquates to; I'll guess it's roughly one tablespoon and a half. That's ok if you have delicate taste buds and this amount will satisfy you but I love strong flavours and could easily have a lot more. On the other hand, I don't like really creamy things and as this is a 'medium fat spft cheesey' it is a lot thicker and creamier than the low fat soft cheese spreads so I find ...

...will. You horrible people at Kraft creating my favourite cheese, how dare you put people through this kind of torture.
Why they don't ban the sale of 200g tubs I don't know at least the 450g plus I can leave some for another night and I don't have the guilt later on.
I pay £1.09 for the little tub and the bigger ones well I get them from the cash and carry every few months and freeze them so I can have them when ever I want. My hubby has tried ...

mmmmmmm salty creamy goodness. I can't get enough of it. Though you won't be getting any kisses after a mouthful or two of this dribbling down your chin.
What did you think I was talking about? Philadelphia Garlic & Herb offering of course. This is good. Still creamy like original Philly, but flecked with bits of herb, and with a pong of garlic. Best spread thickly on a toasted bagel.
Better still is it's sister product, Philadelphia Tomato & Basil ... ...I think to be used as a spread for toast (and it kind of smells like pate bizarrely). Anyway, the best use for it is to stir a couple of big spoonfuls into a pan of cooked drained pasta. That's the lazy person's guide to making pasta sauce.
Obviously it's pretty fattening, I mean, it's cream cheese. It's purpose is fat. But I reckon you can rationlise it, I mean, it must be good for you. All that, er, protein.
£1.20ish a tub ...
