Has anybody found it or tried it? Is it good?
Exteact from the local newspaper L’Est Républicain:
Thirty tonnes of plant-based Vache qui rit have already been produced. Since the beginning of December, these products made in Lons-le-Saunier have been sold in England, the United States and Canada. Bel has produced two portions: “One plain, which has a fairly neutral taste”, explains Yann Wederich, “and another with garlic and herbs”. He warns: “For those who eat the original Vache qui rit, made from milk, this is nothing like it! The texture is the same, but the taste is completely different.
This may explain why the Anglo-Saxons are testing this new recipe. “It’s a more mature market for vegan and vegetarian products”, explains the director. “This will give us more accurate feedback. In a few weeks’ time, we’ll know how this new portion is eaten and accepted. It’s the very first one, and it’s been eagerly awaited, so it’s a great opportunity for our plant. This will enable us to define a launch on the European market, probably in 2025.

My stomach’s bubblin
No
Nope but I’d be willing to give it a try.
Nope, I like the Phillie vegan cream cheese though.

I’ve get to take the smallest nibble of vegan ‘cheese’ that wasn’t utterly revolting.
Even I, a vegan who likes a lot of plant based ‘cheeses’, hate these. Would not recommend.
I look forward to trying it! 😊 That being said, plant-based cheeses are all utterly dreadful, and I’ve tried quite a few, even made some myself, so not holding much hope for this one.
I look forward to the day that plant-based cheeses taste nice, but I doubt today is that day.
*The Crying Cow
I wonder how long the list of ingredients is… They tend to be long for cream cheese substitutes, often with things like palm, coconut or cheap processed vegetable oils that aren’t good for you.
It has a distinctive and unpleasant aftertaste.
This is nuts!
I think I tried the strawberry not too long ago, loved it with my bagels
Yeah they are disgusting, im gutted.
These are rank. Avoid.
Leaves and aftertaste that is horrible and is just a bunch of processed oil, so not healthy for you.
You know, I used to really love laughing cow cheese. But now that I live in a different apartment with an open concept, the constant laughter from the fridge really disturbs me. I’m glad she’s doing her thing and living her best life, believe me. But I find it hard to sleep. So I have switched to Babybel. They go to bed by 5-6pm and are quiet.
The cow is laughing, at you
I’m severely lactose intolerant and it would be nice to have a good cheese alternative. Sad to see the comments filled with insults towards people who use these products. Y’all know that vegans aren’t the only ones who use them right? You’re just outing yourselves as assholes
I swear that cow always had a nose ring
Vegetable “laughing cow” really is a cheese to laugh about.
I actually liked them
If it’s anything like the Boursin plant-based, then I won’t be going near it. Very disappointing 😒
My sister is milk free and I’m vegan. Mum bought these as a fun treat. We tried the plain ones
They’re awful.
Gritty and kinda slimy (but dry as well, like eating damp sand I guess). Also just kind of an unpleasant taste.
I was hoping they’d be better :/
Perhaps the flavoured one is okay?
Tried the original, it was quite nice. The ingredients are UPF though just like many other vegan options :/
I love that the French reporter refers to the Brits and Yanks as Anglo-Saxons.
It’s been 957 years, monsieur! We call our pigs pork and our cows beef. The Normans won!
Yeah. Not that good.
It’s really bad. I wanted to like it, I miss just eating cheese before I went vegan.
