Its gone from good to very bad

1 stars

We purchased some of this not too long ago & it was strong & tasty. Just purchased two more packs & its like tasteless rubber. Not as described. Has there been a packaging mistake ?

What’s happened!

1 stars

I have purchased this cheese for years and it was excellent, crumbly with a lovely strong flavour but the last time it was awful, no flavour at all with a weird rubbery texture.

Poor Pilgrims Choice

I have had Pilgrims Choice Extra Mature Cheddar for years and it's been very good. This last block of 550gms is tasteless and rubbery no hint of any crumblyness very disappointing will not be buying this brand again!

Shocking

1 stars

Awful cheese, texture like Edam (rubbery) and tasteless! What's happening, it's described to have 'a slight crunch and a mighty tasty punch'. The cheese graders should be hot under the collar with embarrassment.

2 stars

really disappointed with this cheese as for an extra mature cheese it lacks flavour.

Tasty but not toasted.

3 stars

It is very tasty and good for sandwiches but unfortunately just does not brown up at all when used for toasted cheese so will not be buying again.

I shall definitely buy again....

5 stars

First time I have tried this particular cheese, but added it to my order, as it was on offer. Found it very versatile, It is a good strong mature cheese, but also contains the slightly sweet taste, which I have found makes it suitable for both sauces, and sandwiches.

Best there is!

5 stars

We love this cheese and wouldn’t buy anything else. We buy the Extra Mature - it’s very strong with a great slightly crumbly texture which we prefer. It’s certainly not waxy which we don’t prefer! I also prefer the packaging as I can never get the re-seal packets to actually do that without a lot of messing about. An all-round winner in this home!

Tasty, always a good use by date.

4 stars

Cheese is my weakness - I love it. This is one of my favourites, and is generally good value for money. I was disappointed that the packaging has been changed. The old packaging could be resealed which kept the cheese fresh. The new packing, while apparently consisting of 40% less plastic than the old one, can't be resealed once it’s been opened. So I have to use plastic to wrap the cheese in to keep it fresh, thereby doubling my own use of plastic. Bad call, Pilgrims, for which I’ve taken one star off.

This is now my favourite cheddar - great for both

5 stars

This is now my favourite cheddar - great for both cooking and eating with crackers etc. Good strong taste. Would recommend.
