Great Keto, or anytime, Snack
Just The Cheese snack bars are just that...cheese, all crunchy and crispy, the way you like it when it falls off the pizza and crisps up on the pan, or on a pan pizza, those extra crunchy pieces that bubble up the pan and make the crust higher because it's really just cheese. You know you like it. It's the best part.These aren't quite like dropping pizza cheese on pan and letting it crisp up, but only because these aren't mozzarella.There are the flavors that I've seen: aged cheddar, which I will review here, aged cheddar with jalapeno, and grilled cheese, which I will also review here.AGED CHEDDAR, pictured above. The flavor is intense! I expected it to be a little less...aged and a little more CHEDDAR, but since these are not artificially flavored, but ACTUAL CHEESE, I can't complain. The brand and age of cheddar they used was just a little more pungent than I expected. It isn't my favorite, but I like them enough to finish them, Just not enough to order that flavor again.GRILLED CHEESE: These are the same size as what is pictured above, the just come in blue packaging vs orange. The flavoring of these are phenomenal! I'm guessing they are meant to be an American cheese, since that's what most grilled cheeses are made from. It's a milder flavor than the Aged Cheddar, but definitely cheesy. I'm on the Keto diet currently, and these make great snacks for increasing caloric intact. I found myself looking forward to needing an increase in calories and was disappointed on days when my diet had switched enough that there was no room for them. When the first box was empty, I decided to try the next flavor. I'd try another flavor because they're so tasty it can't possibly be a fluke that only one flavor suits my taste buds. Do YOUR taste buds a favor and try them! And if you're a fan of aged cheddar cheese, definitely try the Aged Cheddar, too...They have an Agreed Cheddar with Jalapeno, also. Maybe I'd like that one better?

ALMOST Perfect!
I love cheese, especially cheddar, for snacking, on salads, in sauces, omelets... You name it! Of my 5 or 6 favorite types of cheese, cheddar is my all-around favorite due to the multitude of uses AND the range of strengths.So when I bought these, just to give them a try, I had a high level of skepticism. As much as I love cheese, I absolutely HATE cheese snacks and crackers. Gold Fish? Forget-a-bout-it! Plus, gluten is NOT my friend, and I really love keeping my carbs down. Not purely KETO (yet!) but try to watch those carbs. Price wasn't too awful, and figured it was definitely worth a shot.Opened up that first package of 2 bars (each about twice the thickness of a saltine cracker, and twice as long) and was immediately hit with the distinct cheddar scent. Pulled out a slab, and bit/broke off a small corner. (These DO break-up easily, so use a bit of caution so you don't lose one morsel!) Crunch, crunch...Wowser! I was totally impressed and very pleasantly surprised! Somehow these folks have figured out a way to make a wonderful snack that is totally true to its taste promise. I almost gave these 4 stars instead of 5, because they are a bit salty tasting. But then, I thought, so is some of the best cheddar I've eaten! So 5 stars it is!I drive a lot, so I need to keep a good, healthy, portable snack on hand. This is DEFINITELY going into my go-bag! Not big on pepper cheeses in general, but I look forward to trying their other varieties as well.I think these crushed could be a great alternative to cheese on a salad, or added to soup in place of crackers. Hmmm.... and what else?

I love cheese, but ...
I love cheese. I love all kinds of cheese. I eat cheese by the block. And as any Monty Python fan knows: cheddar is the most popular cheese in the world.But I don't love these.You know when you accidentally burn the cheese when making a grilled cheese, or quesadilla, or maybe something with cheddar in the oven? Do you like to eat those burnt parts? If you do, then ignore me, and buy these; I bet you will love them.For folks who don't, I recommend maybe just buying one pack to try it out. You can get used to the flavor if you really try, but I'm not a big fan of food you have to "get used to". When I opened the pack I was greeted by what I can only describe as a 13 year old's sneaker insert after a gym day. But hey, it's cheese, and cheese doesn't smell like roses. Pfftth.They are certainly cheesy, and are nice and crunchy. There's a bit more packaging and less product there, but these are pretty intensely flavored, so that's ok.Also, if you decide to get these, just be sure to keep a tin of mints handy in case you plan to be within 10' of anyone else. Either that, or just blame the smell on your uncontrolled foot fungus problem. ;)

A Big Disappointment
I have pre-diabetes and have been trying new sugar free and lower carb snacks. Both the texture and flavor of these was terrible. I opened one bag, had two out of it and proceeded to toss the entire box. My children and husband also hated them and my dog wouldn’t eat the big crumb that fell on the floor. We eat healthy for the most part and I’m a runner so I am used to eating things that don’t always taste the best in order to get that mid-run energy boost but these were just that nasty. I have a very hard time believing this is just baked cheese with how strong and offensive the taste was.
