As the holiday season nears, many retailers are gearing up to offer their unique festive products.

Woolworths, one of the leading retailers, is no exception. Their highly anticipated Christmas item is making a return, and fans are ecstatic.

Woolworths is bringing back its Thomas Dux 12 Days Of Cheese Advent Calendar, priced at $28, just in time for the festive season.

This advent calendar originates from the United Kingdom and showcases 12 different cheese types, including a red Leicester variant crafted in Somerset by legacy cheesemakers spanning three generations.

The calendar includes a creamy cheddar cheese infused with chilli flakes made in Lancashire that ‘add a warm note to this mild and firm cheese’.

The set also boasts another Lancashire cheese; this time it’s a double Gloucester with spring onions and chives, described as ‘mellow, buttery cheese includes spring onion and chives adding a subtle onion, herby note’.

Just a query: if it only weighs 250g then how big are the cheese samples. Reckon a bit too small to share, especially at that price. 12 samples + 12 Jatz and that’s 1 day of Xmas gone. Gonna be an expensive advent time this year!

Because it’s loaded in fat and salt , not good for anyone with a heart problem.

Sorry, that's Myth-Information (unless you have adverse reactions to Dairy) good fats which are not trans fats or vegetable oils are very good for you. Good fats are what provides the body with energy. If you are a sugar and high carb eater (which most people are) then your body will not use fat for energy but instead turn to glucose. This itself is where most of the problems exist with metabolic health and this includes cardiovascular disease. Good quality salt like an Irish Sea Salt or one that is clean is also what the body needs. This a form of electrolytes which most people are lacking in. Normal white table salt is inferior. Depending on other ingredients in this product you are far better off eating this as a treat rather than most other highly processed foods which contain trans fats, sugar, high carb, preservatives, vegetable oils etc.

If you are interested then some people to research are Dr Sten Ekberg, Dr Eric Berg, Professor Ken Noakes, Dr Ken Berry, Dr Steven Gundry (who is cardiovascular surgeon), and a symposium of doctors and allied professionals from 'Low Carb Downunder, just to name a few.

Remember when someone has cardiovascular disease its usually caused by lifestyle. Someone that has a genetic propensity for cardiovascular disease which may be an inherited factor will entice the disease also by lifestyle. In other words, how you switch it on. You do not have to get it if you have the right lifestyle and eating regimen. Following a western diet like most Australians do will certainly contribute to cardiovascular disease.

Times and research are drastically changing. We are slowly realising that the myth-information from the 70's and 80's was incorrect in many ways. Health advice and even some nutritionists and dieticians still promote some foods which are based on, or promulgated by industry which has a vested interest in the sale of its products (e.g., Sanitarium, Nestle, Kellog's etc). At the same time some doctors will prescribe medicine-based products which have been promoted by the industry we now all call 'Big Pharma'

Not to me it doesn’t ,I give cheese a miss ,its the fat that gives it taste.

The harder the cheese the less fat is in it so a good vintage cheddar or a parmesan is not a problem.
