Hello Cheesy1’s,

Recently my Aunt returned from a trip to Hawaii and as a little gift she bought me back two packets of moon cheese in the cheddar and gouda flavour. Moon cheese is a 100-percent cheese which is dried and doesn’t need to be stored in a fridge. On the packet it states that this is high in protein, all-natural, gluten-free and an excellent source of calcium due to it being all cheese. This rather unique snack is pretty out of this world and makes for a slightly odd tasting experience. It starts as a crunchy & cheese crisp texture then once warm in the mouth tastes like a piece of cheese. At first I was unsure but now I’m warming to the idea because you can have a cheesy snack product that tastes like cheese anywhere on the planet.

The Cheddar flavour looks more like a red Leicester due to the fact they add annatto but I suppose this helps distinguish between their products. You can’t really compare this to a piece of cheese but the flavour profiles I get is slightly sweet, buttery pungent cheese not salty and intensely cheesy.

The Gouda is paper and white in hue with the taste being milder & subtle; think more Edam than Old Amsterdam. The flavours aren’t so pronounced in this one with it being milky, smooth, rich and lacking a punch. I do prefer the Cheddar.

So what do I think? I think that this is one of the best cheese snacks that I have been bought because they are cheesy and are natural. Having looked at their website I love the name and it is very clever that the cheese looks like rocks from the moon. I have tasted some questionable cheese snacks in the past and although this snack may not be to everyone’s liking I think they are fun and play perfectly well to creating a surprise for everyone who tastes them.

Unfortunately they aren’t available in the UK and only ship from mooncheese.com but if you see them don’t be afraid to try them.
