Where Can I Buy Tastee Cheese Online? | The Yaad Market

If you grew up in Jamaica, Tastee Cheese needs no introduction. It is the soft, creamy, salty processed cheddar that has been a staple in Jamaican households for generations. On crackers, on buns, spread on hard dough bread or melted into pasta, Tastee Cheese is one of those products that simply cannot be replicated outside Jamaica no matter how hard you try.

For Jamaicans living abroad, finding it is another matter entirely.

Why Is Tastee Cheese So Hard to Find Outside Jamaica?

Tastee Cheese is a Jamaican brand produced locally on the island. It is not widely distributed internationally through mainstream supermarkets. You might occasionally find it in a Caribbean grocery store in cities with large Jamaican communities, such as parts of London, Toronto, New York or Miami, but availability is inconsistent, and stock is often limited.

For most Jamaicans abroad, getting Tastee Cheese means either waiting for someone to bring it from the island or finding a reliable online store that ships it directly.

Can You Buy Tastee Cheese Online?

Yes. The Yaad Market ships authentic Tastee Cheese directly from Jamaica to customers in the USA, UK and Canada.

We stock Tastee Cheese in two sizes — 500g and 1kg — so whether you want to try it for the first time or stock up properly, we have you covered.

Important note for UK customers: Due to UK customs restrictions on dairy products, Tastee Cheese cannot currently be shipped to the United Kingdom. UK customers can still enjoy the full range of our non-dairy Jamaican snacks and seasonings.

What Does Tastee Cheese Taste Like?

Tastee Cheese has a soft, spreadable texture similar to processed cheddar but with a flavour profile that is distinctly its own. It is creamy and mildly salty with a richness that pairs perfectly with both sweet and savoury foods.

The most iconic combination in Jamaican food culture is Tastee Cheese with Excelsior water crackers: simple, satisfying and impossible to stop eating. A close second is bun and cheese, where a slice of dense Jamaican spiced bun paired with Tastee cheese creates one of the great flavour combinations of Caribbean foods.

How to Eat Tastee Cheese — Jamaican Style

If you are new to Tastee Cheese, here are the most popular ways Jamaicans enjoy it:

• With Excelsior Water Crackers — the classic combination. Open both packets and eat immediately.
• Bun and cheese — slice a piece of National Spiced Bun and pair it with Tastee Cheese. Best eaten at Easter but honestly good any time of year.
• On hard dough bread — spread generously on a slice of Jamaican hard dough bread for a simple and satisfying snack.
• Melted into pasta — Tastee Cheese melts well and adds a distinctly Jamaican flavour to pasta dishes.
• With green bananas or yams — a traditional Jamaican breakfast pairing that is filling and deeply comforting.
