Cheddar cheese is a staple that has such a powerful, sharp flavor that easily has a case for being mixed with some other ingredients, turned into a creamy mixture, and then eaten on bread, crackers, or with a spoon if you’re into that. This concoction can  can range from very cheesy in the other meaning (tacky) to, well, this type of spread—the Prima Pils Mustard and Onion (White) Cheddar Spread. As in, a quality cheddar cheese spread that is punchy and yet subtle at the same time.

I didn’t feel guilty eating it, is what I’m saying. Cheese spread is usually heavy, but this Prima Pils white cheddar spread was not dainty but it wasn’t like eating glop either. It struck a balance with being too powerful and being a waste of calories (i.e, lacking flavor).

The flavor was like eating those mustard crunchy pretzels yet so much smoother. It had the tang of brown mustard, the onions roundness and edge, and cheddars sharpness. All together, it makes a pretty surprising cheese spread that has every right to be heavy and intense but isn’t. I opted to eating on white bread, which it spreads very easily on. Eating this Prima Pils Cheddar Spread was one of the few times I actually enjoyed eating bread with cheese. Usually, I find bread doesn’t add anything, but in this case it did. It helped cut the sharpness and bring out the other notes.

In short summary, I recommend this Prima Pils Cheddar Spread. It is a cheddar cheese spread that doesn’t overwhelm your tastes. It has nuance that is different and delicious.
