Dainty called "Light Mountain" - a cheese from Belarus

Everyone loves to drink tea, but we have long forgotten that you can do this without a variety of sweets, rolls and cookies. After all, drinking without an appetizer is not so interesting, even if there is milk in a glass, not a cocktail or something stronger! Many people liked the products of TM "Svetlogorye". The cheese of this company is enviable and attracts with interesting packaging, reminiscent of sweets from childhood. Can I take it for the whole family and recommend it to friends? Or is the composition still poor? Who will discover the truth?

Why do we like cheese?

When the cookies seem a little dry, and the chocolate seems too sugary, then the tea will have a glazed cheese "Svetlogorye" (with vanilla). It has a delicate texture, mild taste and interesting structure. But the reviews this product receives are mixed, and therefore the question of its quality is quite important. Cheeses seem natural to mass consumers, as they belong to the category of dairy products. But the modern manufacturing industry is able to veil the composition of a particular product and replace natural components with chemical powder analogues. At TM "Svetlogorye" the curd cheese turned out to be very sweet and somewhat buttery in taste. It is these moments that confuse most consumers, because the aftertaste clearly indicates the use of palm oil in cooking.

From brand information

In February 1929, OAO Dmitrovsky Dairy Plant was founded as a milk collection point with primary processing of products. When technical equipment improved, it became possible to produce whole milk products. At first, the plant was engaged in the production of pasteurized milk, sour cream and cottage cheese. The assortment was gradually expanded and thereby won the love of customers. Since 2000, the plant opened a workshop for the production of glazed curds and curd. The factory beat for sure and dazzled consumers with a line of 77 varieties of curds. The Dmitrov Dairy also includes the Svetlogorye company. The cheese of this brand on the packaging has a clear inscription: "Belarusian traditions".

In appearance

At first glance, the cheese seems somewhat inconspicuous due to the dull wrapper, but at the same time it is rather intricate, since it has the form of a big candy from childhood. There are no cellophane films and gloss that the buyer has, as there are no associations with chemistry and fakes. The cheese weighs 50 grams and, judging by the inscription, does not contain preservatives. The price of the product varies from 18 to 23 rubles. Most ingredients in the composition are approved by consumers, but the cocoa butter substitute is embarrassing. At the same time, the Svetlogorye cheeses seem quite fragile. Their composition also makes one doubt the strength, since there is natural cottage cheese, butter and sugar. The cut shows a clean layer of cottage cheese and a thin chocolate coating. If the cheese is stuffed, then it is hidden deep inside, so it will not spill out.

In terms of benefits

If we start from the diet of an ordinary adult, then Svetlogorye is a high-calorie and harmful cheese, since there are 411 kcal per 100 grams of it. But one cheese weighs 50 grams, so this number can be divided in half. Thus, we get 22% of the daily calorie intake. 50 grams account for 7 grams of protein, 28 grams of fat and 31 grams of carbohydrates. In a word, it will be very sweet and very bold. It is strictly forbidden to include such a cheese in the diet menu. So there is almost no benefit in this product, but with reasonable frequency you can afford such a dessert even in the evening. The cheese has a shelf life of 14 days, but it does not lie in the refrigerator for so long. It will lure you with taste and aroma!

The taste and color!

"Light Mountain" - delicious and beautiful cheese. Chocolate glaze does not crumble and does not break. She is not sugary and has a pleasant chocolate bitterness. The taste is quite noble and gentle. The curd in the composition is very light, airy and porous, has medium fineness, but does not resemble pasta. Taste with sourness and vanilla note. If the cheese is chocolate, then the color of the packaging is appropriate. The products of this brand receive a lot of positive reviews, but there is no point in denying that there are also disadvantages. This is the butteriness of the taste, and some dark places in the composition. Therefore, reviews are polar.

People say

Well, people like cheese "Svetlogorye"! Reviews leave good and grateful. The price, of course, is not at all pleasing: more than 20 rubles per 50 grams seem like a prohibitive amount. But the taste justifies itself, so there is a danger of "getting hooked". The people grumble at the price, but take the product in bulk. It’s cheaper and you won’t take much. There is also a negative among the reviews. The real resonance was caused by the story of a customer who discovered a metal object in cheese. When bitten, an object that turned out to be ... a needle almost stuck in the cheek. Perhaps this is the machinations of competitors, but you can not write off such moments!

So, if we summarize all the available customer reviews, we can highlight the pros and cons of the product. Among the advantages:

  • interesting packaging (not like everyone else, reminiscent of old-style candies);
  • fine chocolate icing with a slight bitterness;
  • gentle cottage cheese with vanilla, which does not crumble and does not resemble pasta;
  • juicy filling that does not leak and does not stain the packaging;
  • a wide variety of tastes and regular updating of the line;
  • a really good composition without various E, preservatives and chemical additives.

By cons include:

  • nebula of ingredients in chocolate icing (“icing on a cocoa butter substitute”);
  • the butteriness of the taste and the thick consistency of cottage cheese that can hide any foreign objects that the authors of scandalous reviews complain about.

In general, we recommend trying, but with care and caution!
