La Creme Cow Review & Giveaway

I love to snack and I really love cheese so I was excited when I was given the opportunity to sample the newest product from Parmalat Canada. La Creme Cow is a line of spreadable snack cheese that fits perfectly into busy lives. Healthy, convenient and delicious - just what we all want in a snack!

This cheese is wrapped in individual wedges making it very easy to take on the go or share with friends and family. I had the chance to try all three flavours - Original, Light and Parmesan and Peppercorn. I enjoyed the mild taste and creamy texture of each but my favorite was the Parmesan and Peppercorn. It has a nice flavour that comes through but is not overwhelming. I've been enjoying snacking on these wedges straight out of the wrapper.

I had a friend and her children come over this weekend for a play date so I decided to serve up some La Creme Cow appetizers. I spread some Original and Light cheese on crackers and then topped some with cherry tomato slices and others with cucumber slices. I also set out some wedges for the kids to snack on. By the end of the play date, the platter was empty. The kids gobbled up the wedges and then helped us finish off the crackers.

When I first tried La Creme Cow I knew it would make an ideal snack for adults, but I'm surprised by how much the kids like it too. I'm not sure if it's the cute wedges or the fact that they can spread it themselves but La Creme Cow has become the go-to snack for my boys.

La Creme Cow spreadable cheese can be purchased at your local Loblaws or Metro grocery stores nationwide and is available in the following sizes:
  • Original - 12 pk average retail price $5.49
  • Light - 6pk average retail price $2.99
  • Parmesan and Peppercorn - 6 pk average retail price $2.99

To celebrate the launch of La Creme Cow spreadable cheese, I have a fantastic prize pack valued at $100 to giveaway to one lucky reader. The prize pack includes coupons for free La Creme Cow cheese, glasses, a cheese board and more! If you want a chance to win the La Creme Cow prize pack, enter using the rafflecopter form below.

An appetizer idea for using La Creme Cow is to spread some of the original cheese on a triscuit cracker and top with half a teaspoon of salsa.

My idea for a recipe would be to melt it on top of a fried green tomato - it would add a nice touch to a the breaded crunch of the fried tomato.
