The description

A pack of four of the cream cheese flavor of QBB's Baby Cheese range. The cheese ingredients in this flavor reportedly contain 40% or more of cream cheese.


The good

I find the size of the Baby Cheese range good for certain things. For example, adding to a cracker for an easy, quick snack. There are about two bites in one piece of the cheese and four come in one pack for just 118 yen. I find cheese very expensive in Japan (relative to my home country) generally, but I like that the QBB Baby Cheese range is more affordable. It is also widely available throughout Japan (as far as I know). What I use it for most is salads. I cut one piece into 8 cubes and add to the top of a salad for flavor and texture.


The not so good

This flavor in the QBB range is supposed to be creamier than the others. But I don't find it creamy enough. Also, in their marketing materials / product explanation on their website, they say it melts in your mouth. But in my experience, it doesn't. Maybe I need to take it out of the fridge sooner than I do! I doubt it though. I think their idea of creamy cheese and mine just differ. The cream cheese flavor is 20 yen more expensive than other flavors in the range. But to be honest, I don't mind that and think that it is still affordable / reasonably priced.
