attrayant Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 As far as the cheese slices go I would recommend sticking to Kraft for processed slices. 80 (1 kilo) slices from Macro is around ฿400 This is as close as we can get to American cheese slices. Not exactly the same but a reasonable facsimile. The great thing about this block is that the slices are so large, they cover an entire slice of bread without leaving empty gaps around the edges. Those cheddar slices aren't cheddar at all. I don't even think you could slice cheddar that thinly because it would crumble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonytigerbkk Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Gents, if any of you are interested in REAL cheese, I have some very good news for you. I went on the Heath Farm website this morning and in the FAQ section they state that they have now set up their online ordering at the request of Thai Visa members. http://cheesethailand.com/faq/ The prices look very good considering that this is indeed real cheese and not the processed crap that you get in supermarkets. I honestly have no connection to Heath Farm but I do hope that their online ordering gets enough traffic, as I would hate to see it stopped due to a lack of orders.

Issangeorge Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I just checked out the site, the price is very competitive. Cheaper than the Mainland Cheese I have been buying. However I just tried to order some. Went to the shipping section clicked on Thailand and then the province, and "sorry shipping is unavailable in Thailand" came up. I would love to buy their product, the price is right, the package size is right, but they won't ship to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tolsti Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I sent them an email a week or so ago asking if their Stilton was ready yet.... Not had a reply. Hopefully that means they are too busy??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swamp Thing Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I enjoy the Heath Farm Artisan Cheshire Blue on a regular basis. Tangy, crumbly, delicious. (Available in Friendship supermarket, Pattaya, for those who live in the area). Wifey runs from the aroma, but...more for me! When the Stilton becomes available, I will certainly try it. (I was in hospital years ago and my (then) g/f asked me if I wanted her to get me anything. I replied I would like a Stilton ploughmans lunch with a pint of real ale. I got neither. Anyway, I digress). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallGuyJohninBKK Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Villa Markets have 8 oz packages of real sliced cheddar cheese from California selling for 125b or so per package. They also have several other varieties from the same producer, including a jalapeno jack variety. Melts good and tastes good on cheese sandwiches. That's what I use, and avoid the processed stuff.

Issangeorge Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 In the last day or so I have been in touch with them via email, so maybe it will be back up soon. They have some interesting cheeses that we are trying to figure out how to get to me economically in Isaan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Its not cheese ,its just a bit of plastic with some flavouring in ,mind you many Americans may think its "real cheese" There is no comparison really. No... THIS is REAL AMERICAN cheese... You ought to try it sometime... And actually, this brand is actually available in Thailand via Villa markets and elsewhere -- for a price.

Some of their cheeses are listed as being out of stock and unavailable. But others are in stock. 110b per 200g package for regular cheese.... seems a pretty good price for Thailand.

Issangeorge Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I see that their website is back up. @ Issangeorge, did you get the shipping resolved?Just got my order today. I'm not sure if the website is working for that, but a very nice guy Rob, has replied by emails and we worked out the shipping. He sent it by bus, which has a flat rate if ฿250, no matter the size, I had to add another ฿50 onto that for the bank transfer, so all in all it came to a charge of ฿300, no matter the order size. I had an order for 22 individual packages so under ฿14 per package. The cheddar cheeses come in 200 gram packages for ฿110 per pack, if you work that out to a 250 gram package, that the Mainland cheese I usually buy comes in it works out to ฿137.5 plus shipping and handling of ฿14, so ฿151.5 compared to ฿179 I pay for the Mainland. I just tried my first cheese tonight, the Vintage Red Leicester, this is a great cheese, and makes the Mainland Cheese taste like processed cheese. I haven't tried the others yet, but I'd be surprised if they were not good also. If you are a cheese lover try Heath Farm cheeses out, I don't think you'll be disappointed. If you live in Isaan, the North, or the South, get some of your friends together and order a bunch of different packages to cut the shipping and handling costs. That's what I did. We could have ordered another 20 packages, but at this time they have no soft cheese in stock. I do not have any money in this company, or work for them or know anyone who does, I just like good cheese at a good price, and it looks like this company supplies it.

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I'm still waiting for a promised email response back from them as to how they're willing to deliver to BKK, and whether that would be bus station only or direct to home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Their website appears to be showing only a couple kinds of Australia produced cheeses, a brie, a camembert and a couple Italian cooking cheeses. But nothing like what you'd use for a sandwich or melt for a sauce or cut for snacks like cheddar, etc.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maderaroja Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 It claims to be 87% Cheddar Cheese. But, what is the other 13%. The slices do not hold together when you try to remove the plastic wrap. They turn into goo, not a slice. The taste is not of Cheddar. It does not really even taste of cheese. I will never use it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
