Alouette Parmesan Basil Cheese Spread
What You Should Know
Alouette Parmesan Basil Cheese Spread is a small, 6.5 oz refrigerated tub you’re likely to find in the dairy or specialty cheese aisle, shelved alongside other spreadable cheeses, cream cheeses, herbed chèvres, and near dips and hummus. It reads like a party-friendly convenience item: creamy spread made from cultured milk and cream folded with grated Parmesan and visible green flecks of basil. The brand leans into a European-inspired, artisanal image—positioning this as an elevated, entertaining-friendly option for adults who want a quick, flavorful addition to crackers, crostini, bagels, or warm bread. You’ll see marketing cues that appeal to home entertainers and busy shoppers: “natural flavor,” ingredient callouts like Parmesan and basil, and clean white-and-green label graphics that imply freshness and simplicity; there is no organic certification. In plain terms, this product is a formulated spread produced by blending cheeses with oils, stabilizers, and preservatives to keep texture and shelf life consistent. Sensory notes: smooth, spreadable, slightly dense and creamy with a salty, nutty Parmesan tang and a fresh herbal lift from basil; a slight oiliness from added canola and olive oil; tub packaging invites a ritual of spooning and spreading straight from the container. Typical uses include quick appetizers for game-day or weekend brunch, topping for warm bread or savory crackers, and an easy snack for movie nights. It’s framed as a convenient, slightly indulgent pantry-to-table shortcut for casual entertaining and weekday treats.
