Spreadable, Not Edible - Spreadable Cheddar & Horseradish Cheese

Processed cheese is a wonder of human ingenuity. Is there anything better than spray cheese? Kraft American Slices? Cheese balls? Velveeta? No, even the invention of the wheel pales in comparison to being able to spread, melt or wrangle cheese onto or into anything you please. So of course when I saw spreadable cheese at ALDI I was delighted. Ladies and gentlemen, today I give you - Specially Selected Gourmet Spreadable Cheese Cheddar & Horseradish.

Robust!

In an earlier review, the Lady enjoyed the Garlic and Herb variety of this product. I have high hopes for Cheddar and Horseradish so let's get right to it.

Gourmet Spreadable Cheese - Garlic and Herb Edition


ALDI is really stepping it up with their Specially Selected brand. Hit after hit after hit. I've thought about those Specially Selected cream puffs every day for over a week. I almost bought more of them tonight, they were so goo- ok, get it together, we're here to talk about cheese not cream puffs and you love cheese - cheese is almost your favorite food behind bagels, pho, clementines, vanilla soft serve, and waffles. (Fun fact: when we started this blog, I thought that I would have more fun with a blog dedicated solely to vanilla soft serve - just pictures of vanilla soft serve from all over the county (or more likely, all over Georgia). I was going to call it "A Soft Serving." You guys would read that right? When you're done reading this review, google-image search for "vanilla soft serve," you won't be sorry. It's a beautiful gallery.)

So Specially Selected Gourmet Spreadable Cheese Garlic and Herb flavor is pretty decent spread. This is clearly meant to knock off Rondele and it's totally adequate at that. We ate it with ALDI's version of reduced fat Wheat Thins (which are also perfectly adequate). Wanna see what it looks like?
