So, here's another cheese review. This time something new that I haven't eaten before. This soft cheese by Le Sojami comes in 3 flavours, 'basil', 'cumin and tarragon', and 'garlic and mixed herbs'. I decided to go for garlic incase the cheese part was bad thinking the garlic might overpower it. That's just me though, I'm wary of vegan cheese, all too often because of the cheese flavourings it's like a stink bomb trying to emulate a fart - really bad! But this isn't, as I was pleasantly surprised to find out. Always smell the cheese (So far, all the cheeses I've liked I've been able to smell without retching). This one smelt nice, so I had it on some bread (though you can use this for cooking too).
I really liked this one, quite a nice taste, tiny bitterness to it like vinegar, but overall it is quite creamy and garlicky. And very moreish. Texture is nice and consistent too, if a little too soft. I haven't tried many other vegan cream cheeses, the ones I did try like a sheeze one did smell like death, so I don't have a lot to compare it too. But it did remind a bit of 'roule' cheese back when i ate that stuff, must be the garlic.
I will be buying this again, I'm not sure if the other 2 sound appealing to me, I might try them if this one is sold out though. 4/5
*UPDATE* I bought this again, and this time was slightly different, mainly the texture was much firmer, it seemed to have less moiture in it. I'm not sure if this effected the flavour but it did seem stronger, in a vinegar way, perhaps not as nice as when I did my first review, but I will update again on next purchase.
