How the flip do you open this?

I have bought this cheese selection a couple of times. For just two of us it gives variety and is not too expensive. However every time I end up looking like a character in a horror movie, wielding a knife and stabbing it.
Please enlighten me. How are you supposed to get into it?
Googled and no results
TIA

I don’t think there’s an alternative to a knife massacre, I’m afraid. It’s a starvation pack!

When you get into it, I’ll have the Tomme de Brebis and the Saint-Nectaire please 😁

You borrow @JurgenKloppsTeeth teeth. And then award her her cheeses of choice. Obviously. Grin

I had one of these last week! I was fiddling around with the card around the edge and it popped opened. Not much help but no scissors were required

I buy this. You just peel the cardboard edge into two. If you see what I mean.

Topseyt123 · 30/06/2025 10:23

I'd attack it with the knife. 🤣

Actually, I think modern packaging, whether for food or anything else, is designed to keep people out. Getting into Fort Knox would usually be easier.

Yes I buy this for me and DH. As someone mentioned it has a virtually invisible cardboard strip around the edge lip bit of carton. The strip peels off so you can open the lid. It had me bamboozled at first.

@JurgenKloppsTeeth the St-Nectaire is my favourite too. Yum.

Saltedcarameltiramisucheesecake · 30/06/2025 10:34

I want one! Where is it from, please?

Berryslacks · 30/06/2025 10:39

@Saltedcarameltiramisucheesecake M&S

PandoraSocks · 30/06/2025 10:39

Sainsbury's sell it as do M&S. The Sainsbury's one is a bigger version 😋

I was hoping this thread would be about the Japanese pop bottles with a marble in. But now I'm here I'll have the Tomme please, ta.

I had one of these quite recently. It's a good selection.

Thank you for all your help. I have now discovered the secret via your tips. Did it on my pre butchered pack, so still not sure how to start it on a sealed pack but I have hope
