There is nothing Lite about the flavor of this spread when it comes to taste. My husband and I are hooked. This soft, spreadable cheese is just that: soft. It's airy without sacrificing flavor, and unlike hard cream cheese spreads, you will not have to fish your broken veggies, crackers, or pita chips out if you dip them in (yes, it's a spread, but we couldn't resist). Don't restrict yourself to just crackers and veggies. I have a few ideas of my own, but found some interesting recipes on Allouette's website. Moreover, I looked forward to cutting a corner by using Allouette when preparing appetizers for my next dinner party. Allouette will definitely on my grocery list.
