Customer Rating: Summary: I LOVE TIGER CHEESE!! Comment: This cheese is just wonderful--the taste is different than any other cheese I've ever eaten, and maybe some people wouldn't like it, but I love it. Dollar Tree no longer carries it and I thought I'd never get to taste it again. I'm so excited that I can get it here! Customer Rating: Summary: Watch out for different sizes ! Comment: Many people have referred to the fact that this item is sold "at the Dollar Store". This is true, it is sometimes available at "Dollar Tree" but it is the 100g / 3.5 oz package. Still, that's the cheapest price. Customer Rating: Summary: they sell it at the dollar store Comment: they sell this cheese at the dollar stor for a buck per package.
its really good though, its the perfect compliment to almost any cola. Customer Rating: Summary: One of my favorite snacks Comment: This is my favorite cheese. It is particularly tasty when sharing each bite of cheese with a pretzel stick or two in the same mouthful.
When I lived on the mainland, I would routinely buy Tiger Swiss Gruyere on almost every other grocery trip. If you like high quality cheese, try to find this in your supermarket in the highly visible yellow round pack, with 6 foil-wrapped wedges. The assorted flavors are also good, but I just prefer the plain variety.
When I moved to Hawaii, I just couldn't find it in any local store. Bummer! I now have to pay almost as much for shipping as the product itself. By mail order, it comes shrink-wrapped as 6 yellow round packs of 6 wedges each. (You don't have to refrigerate it, and it tastes better at room temp.)
My only complaint -- the mail order wedges are skinny 2/3 oz each, 4 oz per round, 24 oz per 6-round package. The supermarket wedge is one oz each, 6 oz per round. Watch out if you look at photos, since they incorrectly photograph the larger 6 oz rounds.
I bought 2 packages (12 rounds) on Thanksgiving and ran out today. I just placed another order. Why would anyone pay $40 for 3 pounds of cheese? Because I can't find it any cheaper here, and save a LOT on shipping by buying two at a time. If your supermarket carries it, it should be about half that -- you don't have to pay shipping you lucky dog!
