Tastee Jamaica Cheese 2.2 lbs - 4 PACK

Product is top rated; taste, value for $, packaging, BUT this week my can is dented in several places including around the RIM!! Consequence my can opener couldn't completely open it, therefore i had to use a knife which resulted in a dangerous frayed area around the rim. Upon trying to get the cheese out of the can I sliced my hand!! It could have been dangerous. Especially in this time of CoVID-19, who wants to go to the ER? Distributor STOP with the dented cans!!! in the finale it may cost U more.if my can is dented in the future i will return it immediately!

Growing up in Jamaica this was the only cheese we know. Still this best, better than all the rest.

perfect quality

This cheese is a standard in Jamaican communities. This flavorful cheese, best best eaten at room temperature and is often eaten with "bun" or "Easter Bun" which could best be described as the offspring of a raisin bread and fruit cake, due to its density, this is a versatile cheese that will complement a variety of sides, however in my opinion, is not the best for melting or using in sauces. If you have never tasted this canned cheese, think of a sharp cheddar and Velveeta blend, with a hint of American mixed in. This firm golden yellow cheese would be wonderful addition to a meat and cheese tray.

Everything

Item arrived on-time and was fresh and delicious

Years ago, Kraft made a shelf stable cheese that came in a blue box. It could be found next to the Velveeta at the supermarket. It had a smooth slightly processed cheese taste. I loved it and was so sad when it was discontinued. I've seen a similar Kraft product imported from Australia here at Amazon, but the price is too high for the amount you get. I ordered this Tastee cheese on a whim. While the texture is much firmer than the Kraft cheese and it doesn't melt nearly as well, the flavor is very similar to the cheese that came in the blue box. Add a slice of Tastee, a piece of Genoa salami on a Triscuit and I'm in savory heaven! As other reviewers mentioned, my can came severely dented and was very difficult to open. If the shipper could wrap the can in bubble wrap like they do with glass items, it would probably arrive without dents. If you liked the Kraft cheese in the blue box or Kraft's old English cheese slices that they used to sell many years ago, you may want to try this. It's close enough in flavor to satisfy my cravings for a taste of nostalgia.

I need another one now but it's too expensive i use to pay 18$ now is $30 can't afford it
