Pavé D’Affinois Bleu – Lidl Deluxe
POSTED BY LOUIS JOHN BRZOZKA ON DECEMBER 11, 2022
In a world of cuboid cheeses, be more cube. Presumably that is what the thinking was behind this particular offering from the Lidl Deluxe range. I am a lover of blue cheese so this particular offering...

Berthaut Epoisses – Marks & Spencer
POSTED BY JOE ON DECEMBER 1, 2022
The average price you would expect to pay for a decent block of cheese in a supermarket is probably about £3. In my opinion it is very difficult for a block of cheese to justify a price in excess of £...

Doux de Montagne (Marks and Spencer)
POSTED BY JOE ON NOVEMBER 24, 2020
Despite what the name may suggest to those such as me who are uneducated in the French Language, this is not in fact a French version of a popular carbonated beverage, but is instead a particularly de...

Boursin (Garlic & Herbs)
POSTED BY JOE ON NOVEMBER 20, 2020
Boursin Garlic and Herbs is in my opinion a ‘staple cheese’; I have consistently eaten it since I was a child and will continue to do so. I find that the flavour focuses more on garlic and less on chi...
