  • fantastic healthy option

    I was very excited to be part of this review as cheese has always been my weakness. I purchased my cheese the same day my voucher arrived. The first thing I noticed after taking the cheese out of the packet was the color was a lot lighter than regular block cheese but to me it seems to have a less processed look to it than the regular very yellow block cheese. I very much enjoyed the taste as did the rest of the family. Toasted cheese sandwiches are common place in my house and the cheese melted perfectly without having that melted plastic look and feel. For someone like me who loves their cheese a little too much Kraft Livefree is a perfect option and will probably be a regular on my shopping list

  • best light cheese

    Most of the time, light cheeses are very bland. When they are grated, they can end up tasting like little pieces of plastic.
    But Kraft have mastered the art of making their cheeses beautifully creamy and rich. The blocks are easy to slice through and melts to beautiful gooey goodness! Love all Kraft cheeses!

I found it to be very tasting, not like other light cheeses that have a horrible taste. My kids loved it and even my husband was happy with it so for us as a family it is a winner

  • guiltyfree cheese!

    Bought one of the Kraft Livefree cheese block during one of my routine grocery shopping. I used it on my lasagne sauce and loved it! The texture and taste is so creamy and smooth. The blocks are so easy to use, grated very well and melts easy too. Used a full block for my lasagne and never felt so guilty-free eating it! Definitely a healthier option to use when you are thinking of a cheese loaded dishes. For the price you are paying, Kraft Livefree cheese is definitely worth giving a try.

  • I was not over keen. On this cheese

    We eat a lot of cheese cheese in salads cheese in cooking in making sauces. Cheese on sandwiches. .. We found this had not much taste. No flavour.
    I would not buy this. Again I really would not .. And when trying it on the family. The grand kids did not eat it
    They left it on the plate. Miss nine said it was yuk. It squashed in her mouth. …

  • Great healthy cheese

    This cheese is so healthy and had a pretty good taste and texture, my husband and I love it! As for the kids not so much as it requires an acquired taste and does not taste the same as regular cheese. I will keep on buying this product as it is really healthy and the best cheese for me even though it is a bit more expensive then normal cheese.

  • ita ok prob won't buy again

    Gluten free pastry

    Ingredients

    1 cup water
    2 tspn salt
    90g unsalted butter chopped and kept cold
    150g gluten free flour Plus 1/2 cup extra for kneeding
    2g xanthan gum
    2 free range eggs

    Directions

    1
    Preheat oven to 200C

    2
    In a heavy based saucepan combine the water, salt and butter.

    3
    Bring to a simmer and add the flour and Xanthan gum. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon. Lower temperature and continue to cook until pastry comes away from the sides and is well combined. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.

    4
    Whisk the eggs to combine and add half the egg mixture slowly, incorporating fully before adding the final half. If the mixture is a dough texture when you add in the first half, you may not need to rest of the eggs mixture.

    5
    Turn out onto a surface on which you have placed a further ½ cup gluten free flour and knead until shiny. Try to incorporate as little flour as possible so the pastry does not go crumbly.

    6
    Chill pastry then using a rolling pin roll the pastry between two pieces of baking paper greased on both sides. Roll to half a centimetre thick and place in pie tins.

    7
    Properties: browns beautifully, has a nice crispness and holds in moisture. Has a nice potato undertone which is very pleasant. Has a great shelf life, up to 5 days in fridge without going mouldy.

    8
    Note: You could add 2 teaspoons of xylitol or coconut sugar and make a sweet pastry for fruit pies.

  • Kraft Livefree is not very nice

    I purchased this product thinking as a cheese lover that it would be a healthier alternative to the lovely cheeses that I eat, I now consider that this was a mistake, I found it to be chalky and rubbery all at the same time, it did not melt at all, I tried to grate some on a pasta bake, big fail, the taste was dry, texture horrid, I have no doubt that it probably is a healthier option but I think I would prefer a smaller serve of a nice cheese than endure this again, I really could not recommend it and I do not think I would consider purchasing it again, in fact I don’t think I would ever have it for free.

    we are all big cheese lovers around here and i thought that i would give this a go. the kids like it because they pretty much will eat anything. in saying that, my hubby is a big cheese fan and really knows what he likes. he didn’t mind this cheese though. we had cheese toasties and i thought that it melted ok. i think i will get it again next time that it is on special.

  • Low in fat!

    Kraft Livefree 250g Grated Natural Cheese was trialed at home and used to put on top of pasta bake and grilled, over pizza and oven baked and on sandwiches for the kids and me. The cheese did not melt very well but having a lower fat option in cheese that still has a nice taste is what is accomplished with this brand. Kids enjoyed it and were none the wiser that it was lower in fat and calories which I love.

  • tasty for a changed lifestyle

    I really enjoyed Krafts live free cheese as it has a lot less calories than other ‘lite’ but was pleased that it was on sale, it did not melt at all well and does leave room for improvement in this area, The taste and texture did make up for it and my normally fussy kids where totally unware they were eating a light cheese. It is now our go to cheese

  • yummy and guilt free

    One thing I cant cut off my diet is cheese and I think everyone knows why. But thanks to this I still have the great same taste of cheese I can use in many of my cooking and snacking but feel guilt free. It has great variety and its easy to choose which to what I am making. Pizza has never been more guilt free. Iys a great product fir those striggling to get cheese out of their diet . Live free indeed. Yummy.

  • It is the lowest fat out of the other brands

    I really enjoyed Krafts livefree cheese as it has a lot less calories than other ‘lite’ cheeses on sale. The melting was quite minimal and does leave room for improvement, however the taste and texture did make up for it. You really can’t tell the difference between Kraft live free cheese and other fattier option. I would love to see the same product but made entirely from soy!

  • Good to cook with.

    Low fat cheeses are definitely something that appeal to me because I’m always looking for ways to reduce my intake of saturated fats. The fact that this is so low in fat is great but, for me, the product does have some limitations.
    I found that it worked well in things like omelettes, quiches and on top of pastas and the like. But to be honest, it’s not really a product that I would eat on a sandwich. Even so, I’m sure I’ll buy it again for cooking purposes.

  • Such a lovely taste

    I was amazed at the taste of the cheese. I thought it being so extra light, I didn’t think the taste would be the same. But I was wrong. We just love having toasted ham, cheese and tomato on our off vegies day, and it melted beautifully in the tomato and it was delicious. I will make sure we have more of these. xxx

    I must admit I was rather disappointed with the taste of Kraft Livefree when I tried it.

  • OKish I guess

    Hubby has been told to lower his cholesterol, so I have been trying to replace things like cheese with a low fat variety. This was the third one to try. He didn’t notice the change at first, as I used it in mashed potatoes and on top of lasagna, but once I tried to use it in sandwiches, he was less than amused and thought it was awful.

  • Definitely not for everyone

    I’ve bought this a few times now as I am trying to reduce my fat intake. My daughter and I both find it fine – we’ve had in it sandwiches, salads and used it in cooking. My husband can’t stand it and says the packet would have more taste. My son is also not a fan asking me to get some ‘real cheese’. I guess it makes a different as to whether or not you don’t want the extra fat.

  • Great healthy lower fat cheese.

    I need to eat low fat products and had been avoiding cheese to do this but with Kraft Livefree it was so low in fat that I could eat it and not have any adverse side effects which normal cheese gives me. I will definitely be purchasing this cheese again. The rest of the family noticed this cheese was different from their normal cheese but still enjoyed eating it.

Article ‘A Beautiful Adelaide Blend With A Lighter Alcohol Content!’

‘A Beautiful Adelaide Blend With A Lighter Alcohol Content!’

For lighter wines that still taste like the real deal, Chapel Hill’s Enlightened range is quickly becoming a go-to. These bottles bring all the flavour with noticeably less alcohol, which is why everyone’s falling in love with them.

Best SIPS’ Chapel Hill Enlightened Wines review team put the Rosé and Pinot Grigio through their paces, and the feedback was unanimous: both are fresh, light and perfect for summer sipping without the unwanted morning crogginess.

A rosé with summer written all over it

Chapel Hill’s Enlightened Rosé is bright, crisp and fruity, hitting all the right notes without tipping into the “too sweet” zone. It’s the kind of bottle you reach for at a casual barbecue or any get-together where you want something delicious but easygoing.

It’s exactly this balance of lightness and full flavour in an affordable bottle that has so many fans raving.

“Light, refreshing and honestly just feels like a little moment of peace in a glass. The flavour is this perfect mix of crisp + fruity without being too sweet — literally the kind of rosé you can sip while you finally sit down after a long day.”

Women trying Chapel Hill Enlightened Rosé.
A summer staple … on the lighter side

“Too many of these low alcohol wines just don’t taste enough like the real deal-but this is a sure fire exception. Beautifully refreshing, with a touch of sweetness that’s not overwhelming. A gorgeous colour too, which is a bonus- after all, we also drink either our eyes! Add into the mix a reasonable price point- this rose is a winner!”

“I love a nice glass of Rosé and the Chapel Hill Enlightened Rosé did not disappoint! It’s really light and refreshing and tastes like a really expensive wine. I love that this wine is really affordable, so I can enjoy a beautiful Rosé without breaking the bank more often. Definitely give this one a try!”

If your warm-weather wine rack needs an affordable new staple, this is it.

A Pinot Grigio you’ll be buying again (and again!)

For the white lovers, Chapel Hill’s Enlightened Pinot Grigio is a solid everyday white that ticks all the boxes: crisp, clean, food-friendly and affordable.

Our taste-testers repeatedly praised how balanced and versatile it feels, whether chilled on its own or alongside simple meals and casual gatherings.

“We love a white to pair with our spring/summer lunches and especially our seafood. This option ticked all the boxes …”

A versatile sip you’ll keep reaching for

“I enjoyed the first sip to the last of this Pinot. Anything with pear and citrus is something I want to try and this lived up to that, but with a lighter alcohol content – which I appreciate! Enjoyed over dinner, it paired really nicely with the food I was eating. This wine is something I’d happily recommend to others.”

“The wine offered just the right balance of fruity flavours – fresh and vibrant, but never overpowering or too sharp. It paired beautifully with both our light lunches and dinner, making every meal feel a bit more special. I also appreciated how crisp and refreshing it tasted, perfect for unwinding and enjoying good company. Definitely a Pinot Grigio I’d reach for again.”

Your lower-alcohol go-to

The team rates Enlightened wines 4.34 out of 5 and recommends them for anyone on the hunt for flavour-forward wine with less alcohol. They’re bright, modern and made for the kind of moments where you’d love a glass, but still want to feel good afterwards.

Find Chapel Hill Enlightened at Dan Murphy’s right now for $17.99 each.

  • The warmer weather tends to make alcohol go to my head faster – I’m not a big drinker, but just for that reason I’d seriously consider a low alcohol wine. The Pinot Grigio particularly sound as if I might enjoy it. I might well buy a bottle or two for Christmas.

    Reply

  • Looks delicious, would be keen to try their wines based off the reviews. Love anything local and the light wine is just an extra win – low alcohol content would be fab for nights with friends where we all still have to drive home afterwards so would be buying for that type of event!

    Reply

  • Chapel Hill Wines do have quite a good reputation. I like the fact that it is low alcohol content. Personally, I like a very sweet wine but many would like these as they are not so sweet. I wish them well with sales and think it’s good they are doing something about lowering alcohol level.

    Reply

  • Thanks for sharing this review. It sounds that the taste is good, the price is good and the alcohol content is really low indeed. I do like the fact that they’re light. One of the things I don’t like when you’re drinking a couple of glasses that it fills you up and it affects your appetite

    Reply

  • I appreciate all the reviews and think this is an excellent way to get your brand out there and known.

    Reply

  • I like the sound of the Pinot Grigio and will look out for it next time I’m at the bottle shop.

    Reply

  • I just asked the forum for recommendations on zero alcohol, but this is an attractive option as well! I do enjoy a Rose, so will try this one after all the positive reviews. It’s a shame they don’t have a sparkling in their collection yet! Would have been prefect for all the celebrating at this time of year.

    Reply

  • I dislike rose, but the pinot grigio sounds like it might suit me. To be honest, the alcohol content doesn’t bother me all that much – I rarely drink more than a glass or two anyway – but it would probably be nice from a general health point of view to know I’m consuming less alcohol.

    Reply

  • This sounds like the perfect glass. I do love being able to have a few drinks and not be all over the place about me. And as a bubbly girlie from Adelaide myself, I’m sure I’ll find a lot to like about this drop. Crisp and not too sweet, I’m sold and will have to try it.

    Reply

  • It was the first time for me hearing about the chapel hill brand. And i still recall when i picked up the Pinot Grigio from my local, the staff there actually stopped me and said i picked a winner! She said that it was probably the best Pinot they had available to sell.

    Reply

  • I’ve heard a lot of good things about Chapel Hill wines and the reviews are always good. I like that they have low alcohol range as I like to have a few glasses when I finally get to have one. Not being too sweet is a bonus that suits me well.

    Reply

  • The idea of having a lower alcohol content wine without compromising taste is really exciting. There’s nothing worse than feeling “under the weather” from the effects of alcohol. This lovely wine ticks all the boxes, lower alcohol and a refreshing flavour. I’m keen to get the Pinot Grigio in my cart and into my fridge!

    Reply

  • This wine sounds delightful and really refreshing to enjoy on a summer afternoon. I love that it tastes fresh and crisp and still has the same punch as other wine. It sounds like an absolute delight. I will have to give it a try next time i am at the bottle shop looking for some wine.
