seriously strong spreadable

I love cheese, well most cheeses and in particular strong cheddar, and I have on numerous occasions in the past perused the wares of McLelland the most superior producers of Seriously Strong cheese. In doing so I have an ever-increasing admiration for their most excellent cheese. It makes a great cheese sandwich and is a great addition to the top of my other favourite Lasagne. I didn’t think it possible that they could improve on this superior cheddar type cheese. How wrong I was. A few months ago I was introduced by the courtesy of a special offer at ASDA in one of their 2 for £2.00 offers ... more

I love cheese but I found the seriously strong cheddar a bit too strong, so when I came across seriously strong spreadable I was a bit wary, but I bought some anyway. I was so glad I had. It has a nice distinct strong taste of cheddar unlike the majority of cheese spreads which seem mild. It comes in a 125g tub and is great for spreading on crackers, (I like it on ryvita's) dip bread sticks in or have on crusty bread. It cost £1.16 from Asda. It's definitely worth trying you may be surprised at how good it tastes. Nutritionals per 100g Energy 1233kj/298kcal Protein 15.5g Carbohydrate 1.5g Fat ... more

After purchasing the SSS and trying the first mouthful I was acutley aware of a distinct lack of quality and taste. The company has located the essence of the strong cheddar flavour found in its other cheese products and emulated its overpowering nature in the form of this gloopy spread. Although the use-by date was ages away the flavour felt powdery and sour and left an uncomfortable buttery-custardy residue on the tounge. I normally enjoy a good strong cheddar due to its life on the shelves preserving its natural flavour. This is a poor imitation cheese at best and also incredibly bland. I ... more
