Great-tasting alternative to parmesan
Very nice cheese and at a very good price. We've been buying this for ages now and we've never had a problem.We even ate one, after I forgot about it in the fridge, about a month past its use by date, and it was still perfectly fine.
Good taste and value
pretty good and a great price
Poor quality and contains egg
Went mouldy very quickly, and a lot softer than usual parmasan. I ate a small amount and had a tummy upset but did not make the link, today I realised it contains egg! I have an egg allergy and I had not checked the label properly as I would never consider cheese would contain egg! My fault and I will be much more wary of Tesco own brand in future.
Very tasty but small amount for the price
Very tasty but small amount for the price
Mouldy before opened and in date!!!
Both the last two lots have been mouldy, at the wide end of pack and one was unopened and both within dates. It is not as good as in flavour as Parmisan, and not a bargain if it is unusable so Ill not be buying this again.
Cater for those who eat some meat products & meat
My son got it, lovely cheesy mild taste and THANKYOU for not making ALL cheese vegetarian. It makes sense to have at least SOME MEAT and animal products because the best types of agriculture, BIODYNAMIC is even better than organic, good for the planet, environment, good for wildlife, sustainability and you. Vegetarians & vegans have it wrong, they should not stop eating ALL animal products, all of the time. It is not helping anyone but the laboratories.
Great quality cheese, non-veggie (get over it!)
Very good parmesan alternative. Like Parmigiano this traditional Italian cheese is NON-vegetarian, it's one of its peculiar features. Whoever feels betrayed by Tesco for making it possible does not understand what's behind the high standards required for a product to obtain the status of "protected designation of origin (PDO)". My advice to them is "get over it, instead of posting 3 times the same review". This cheese has nothing to envy from Parmigiano Reggiano and costs much less (same in Italy). I would definitely recommend if you want to add some umami flavour to your gratin or as ideal accompaniment to pasta dishes. However, since this is not super-cured, it also goes well in small chunks as an appetizer, with a sip of red wine and matches very well with acacia honey and grilled pepper or tomato slices.
Disappointed vegetarian
You Italian hard cheese was vegetarian but this stuff isn't. That's really really annoying. It doesn't really impact the flavour to a typical home cook but excludes a lot of people from eating it. Just disappointing.
good for the price
good for what you pay although competitors "Li.l" gets better one... don't understand 1 start rating because it's not "vegetarian"? Grana Padano is not vegetarian cheese nor it is "Italian hard cheese" (whatever that might be)
I feel betrayed and abandoned by Tesco!
Tesco why have you forsaken us!!! Your "value" italian style hard cheese was also vegetarian but now it includes animal rennet. Why?!
