Wow, i love Tescos's and the Free From section

We have a new retail park opened near me, and Tescos is one of the shops..I went and noticed the Free From ( Dairy, Milk, Wheat etc)..I used to go to Asda and get my soya stuff, but now i go to Tescos..More choice too, even got the ''cheddar dairy free cream cheese'', which is rather yummy..More soy(a) milk choice too..OK maybe dearer but nice I also used to go to Holland and Barret for soya stuff but aint been there for ages..

Yummy soya medium cheese slab, though no sign of a mature version. Not tried mild as like to taste my cheese. Also like the sweet chilli spread, but striking with alpro light unsweetened soya.

Friend of a friend on FB was commenting recently that her local Tesco had moved the Free From products to right next to the bakery section, meaning that coeliacs have to expose themselves to all of the gluten-based products to get to the gluten free.

Serious answer: Think its labelled "cheddar-style" or words to that effect.

Flippant answer: Probably the same way they labelled "Tesco BEEF Lasagne"

Morrisons have really good free from sauces. I love the tikka masala one.

The medium cheese is the only vegan cheese I have found that both melts and tastes nice, its great for cheese and onion toasties, the soft cheeses are also great, the chilli one is yummy, good on Tesco for doing this, I wish other supermarkets would also have vegan cheeses in stock.
