Milbona & Tenery

When I saw this cow, I recognised it was the same cow from other brand: Tenery, that I had previously got from the Netherlands, from Portugal and from Hungary. But the brand here was a new (for me) one: Milbona.

However, on the back of the box, you can read: "30% less fat if you compare with other Tenery melt cheese" (?).

Emmental Light

English Cow in Morocco

I have received this from John (the UK) some time ago, but I have never seen that they sell this flavour in Morocco. What amazes me the most is the name in English (and only in English).

They have added a label in Arabic on the back. I guess it is compulsory if you want to sell this here.

A letter was written inside:

And some cowstamps on the envelope:

You Make Me Smile!

I like the sticker. I guess Pony Brown has just bought some boxes of cheese...

Big envelope sent by John (the UK)

It seems that the sender put the stamps and they were postmarked... and then lost in way (?). The back:

Less light

From Keith (the USA)

Again I cannot understand: 

a) The subtle differences between light and less fat (yes, 10 calories, but...). So is there a light cheese less light?

b) Why they add mozzarella to cheese wedges? Is not mozarella a cheese itself?!?

The sender included some labels:

Side-side

Sent by Heleen (the Netherlands)

She sent this box unopened (Heleen's style, I mean) to attract my attention to how many languages they use in the side-side. Why they use these and not those languages in the different countries remains a mystery for me. In this box bought in the Netherlands you can read all these words for portions: portionen, portions, porties, portioner, porsjoner, porzioni, μεριδεσ and puntjes.

See also the different faces of VQR: eye-opened, eye-closed, blinking... 

VQR truck & old VQR

Sent by John (the UK)

Collage made by John. He added in the back the picture of the old boxes. The cow was slightly different, the portions were just 6 in each box (so bigger!) and what I love is specially the slogan: Bel et Bon (='Beautiful and good', but Bel is also the name of the brand).

Ah, and don't forget to look at these cowstamps!

Queso fresco & chipotle

Sent by Raphael'L (the USA)

I have received one of these new flavours! I wonder why they don't sell it here, what a pity.

How many flavours...? (1)

Did you realise how many flavours (or flavors) they offer in the USA? It is amazing!

• Babybel original
• Babybel light
• Mozzarella, Sun-Dried Tomato & Basil
• Garlic & Herbs
• Queso Fresco & Chipotle (queso means 'cheese' in Spanish, so I find this flavour specially interesting).
