Five stars – Observer and Guardian online

Co-op Irresistible Stone Baked Ham, Mushroom & Mascarpone
515g, £4.99
“Really decadent. The tomato base is sweeter and appealingly crimson. A crowd pleaser.”

2nd out of ten – Good Housekeeping

Co-op Irresistible Camembert
250g, £2.50

“A wonderful depth of flavour. The bold, salty bitterness complemented a slight garlicky taste. However, while some tasters couldn’t get enough of the thick, creamy consistency of this cheese, others would have preferred a gooier texture.”
