The two in Edinburgh could well be the oldest. Though I'd have thought they'd go for the city center one where all the students shops and the shiny big new one that has to be the busiest. Maybe for some strange reason the ones chosen sell most Alpro or something

ETA: Don't know what those reviewers did to the cheese but it melted pretty decently for me

It's worth checking this list again; the range is now available in the store my online delivery comes from (which it wasn't when Catt Queen first posted this list), so presumably it's recently become available at a number of other stores too

The list on tesco's site doesn't look like it's been updated to me but if they have started selling in more places I guess they'll put a new one up sometime soon, or they should

My local Tesco stocked all this stuff for a month or two now they have withdrawn them from the store. Typical Tesco!

Bought loads of this stuff the other day. Cheese is best I've had by far, for the likes of sandwiches/rolls. Made lasagne with it tonight, probably not as good as Redwoods for melting, but different taste, and still awesome. Mango yoghurt decent. Chocolate dessert drink things not amazing.

I found loads of caramel pudding thingy and passion fruit yogurts in the reduced to clear of a tesco not on the list. They didn't seem to have anything else though. Obviously not selling well but I guess most vegans/lactose intolerant people don't go around checking the dairy section in case something they can eat turns up

The caramel pudding thingys are weird. They aren't bad but they aren't good. I don't understand what they are meant to be. I showed them to some mates and they aren't sure either :? But I have 3 more to eat tonight anyway since they went out of date yesterday

I don't normally shop at Tesco, but I really wanted to check this stuff out, so I went along to the Jewish area of Manchester and sure enough, the Tesco had the range.

I really like the two soya cheeses and the spreads. Like the yoghurt, too. The hazelnut and almond milks looked mostly water and sugar, so I didn't try them. I didn't have enough money for the other stuff, but I will go back next week.

It took me a while to find the stuff, as it was in the fresh milk fridge.

Might be worth feeding this back to Tesco?

Yes I have done, and I've updated the Sticky Feedback thread with their new online feedback form. I filled it in and somebody from Tesco phoned me the following day, to say I can ask the manager of my local store to get the stuff in. They said they'd pass on my comments about positioning and promotion of the products.

Can some other people please hassle them as well? It would be a real shame for great vegan products to fail due to not being brought to the attention of potential buyers.

I checked if the tesco I was in had a facebook so I could point out the placement issue and suggest that if they are only going to have two things from the range it isn't the passionfruit yogurt and caramel things cause I don't like them much. They didn't have one so I didn't bother.

Today I discovered the price dropped alpro chocolate shakes are gone so extra need to tell them they are stopping me spending my money in their shop. If they are actually responsive then I'll go looking for a comment box next time I'm passing

New Tesco Range

Postby ninearms » Tue Jul 24, 2012 6:28 pm

They're on the end of an aisle in mine, ie in prime position, so they're being pushed. In fact all the non-dairy milks were there before the Tesco range existed.

Those little pyramidal pudding shakes are tasty!
