Our Experience
This cheese sauce has an off white-ish color with visible specs of herbs. It has a sharp and pungent cheese aroma.
Coming to the flavor, it has a prominent warmth of garlic and sharpness of cheddar, but the only drawback is the cheese flavor lacks freshness. This cheese sauce leans more towards a mayonnaise profile than a cheese sauce meant for dipping.
This doesn’t work well as a dip; however, it fares better as a sandwich spread, combining well with bread and vegetables This further enhances the experience of having this cheese sauce.
As for the texture, this is a thick cheese sauce which is neither thin nor runny. Moreover, spreadability was smooth and not an issue here.
- Sharp aroma.
