New range at Tesco

[Fruit Tea]

Hi everyone

I've just returned from a shopping trip to Tesco and am sooooooooooo excited - they have a new 'Free From' range in their refridgerated section containing their own brand of soya/rice/almond/coconut/hazelnut milk, yoghurts, soft & hard cheeses, soya/sunflower spread ..... all marked suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Perhaps they are finally seeing the light? Woo-hooooooooooo :D.

[enchantedgypsy25]

I've not seen these yet and i am (unfortunately) a Tesco employee, i will have to keep a look out for them in my store.

Maybe they haven't rolled it out across all the stores yet? I was in Tesco, Littlehampton, West Sussex.

Glad to hear about Tesco finally introducing some new lines! I don't have a local Tesco that I can visit (with ease) but my local Asda have now introduced the "Good Life" range, although I am a bit cautious about buying them as they have a mission-statement: "P.S. By eating these you are helping to create a goodlife for orang-utans in Borneo. 1p per pack is donated to protecting their habitat World Land Trust." Considering the range is around £2.00 per pack, I personally want to do some research before I buy their products. :)

Wow! That's quite an impressive amount of vegan products all in one go!

You can view them on the website - [Link removed, didn't work]

It is an impressive new range, isn't it? I couldn't believe my eyes when I glanced across and saw the whole new section screaming out at me. I tried your link but it doesn't show anything??? I also tried putting in a search for it but got nothing. Anyway, they were definitely in store and are now in my fridge :-)

Sounds exciting! I'll have to look out for them :D. Has anyone tried the cheeses, are they nice?

Sorry, I thought it might not work. I just went to the groceries section of the website and clicked Fresh food>Dairy alternatives

No, I haven't tried them yet. If I remember correctly they had two varieties of hard cheese - mild and medium (the medium was orange in colour, similar to Red Leicester) and there were 2 or 3 varieties of soft cheese - plain, sweet chilli and possibly one other. I bought the mild hard cheese and the sweet chilli soft cheese to try.

[Fruit Tea]

Oh and they have good dates on too and I think the hard cheese said "Once opened use within 10 days", which is better than Cheezly, which unfortunately seems to go off a lot quicker.

I wouldn't get too hopeful about all this new stuff getting rolled out in Ireland anytime soon Blueberries. Tesco have a history of withholding their own-brand veggie stuff here. I really hope I'm wrong though!

I really hope I'm wrong though!

Me too :D

[nut_cutlet]

Ohhh just checked out the link - exciting stuff! Thanks greenjudy :) My other half is in love with Tesco and we often shop there. Will be good to try some of these new things - the desserts sound intriguing! Tells you which stores here as well: http://www.tescorealfood.com/Media/docs/Chilled-Free-From-Dairy-Store-List-2f1e370f-0f4c-481b-8c02-99a53db8506b-0.pdf so we aren't blindly wandering from one Tesco to another!

[veganosie]

Me too. I can't believe not a single Leicester store is stocking them :(

[Princess_Valium]

I wasn't very impressed with their soya milk but the rice and almond milks were really nice. I have some yogurts too but I haven't tried them yet.

[veganosie]

what are the prices like compared to brands (alpro, provamel etc)?

[Firestorm]

Does anyone else get the feeling that these ​might be re-branded products (coconut milk might be Kara, cheese = sheese, yogurts/puddings = alpro)?

[nut_cutlet]

Creme Caramel..... o.O *salivates*

[Dee dee]

Wow, I can't believe they are doing vegan 'cheese'. I never thought that a supermarket would do that. I wonder what it tastes like. Got to try it. The only one I ever eat is Redwoods Mozarella melty style as it still makes me so happy to have cheese on toast.
And I still haven't tried the new Vgusto (not sure if it's spelt like that!).

[verdeleaf]

Aw, it's a shame the two stores listed that are closest to me are not really viable for me to get there. It's good to hear they are doing this though, so hopefully other stores will stock up soon...

[porcupine_treats]

Ooh that's really exciting! The cheese thing especially. And I've always wanted to try almond milk but I've always been put off by the price. £1.69 sounds ok though!

Edit: crap, not near me. :( You lot best get buying lots of it so they roll it out in all the stores!

[Fruit Tea]

I've now tried the mild hard cheese on a jacket potato and can confirm it's very tasty. I will be making pizza tonight with lots of grated cheese! Yum. I didn't compare all the prices but noticed when I was in store that the yoghurts were cheaper than Alpro but the coconut milk was more expensive than the Kara long life one.
