Babybel earns favorable reviews as a reliably tasty, creamy, high‑protein snack with nostalgic, fun-to-peel wax packaging, but it divides opinion on flavor depth and perceived processed taste. Reviews praise portability, variety (including probiotic and plant-based options) and meltability, while critiquing the low-fat version’s flavor, occasional synthetic mouthfeel, and excess packaging.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
I loved these prior to going plant-based 6 years ago and now that they released a plant-based version I am excited to eat them again. The plant-based snack cheeses are so tasty and very reminiscent of the dairy cheese. I love them for a quick snack with apples.
Neither a cheese board nor a hike is complete without Babybel. The wax keeps cheese cooler for much longer than others, and then there's the fun of unwrapping each piece like a present. I'm reviewing both traditional Babybel and the new plant-based ones, and they are both equally delicious. I haven't tried the latter on a hike yet, but every variety I've ever had has been delicious, with my favorite being the hard to find Gouda.
Great taste, perfect size, great for kids lunches. Unwrapping each piece makes it feel “like a special cheese moment 🧀 “.

It’s little cute wheels of cheese,what’s not to like? It does have a teeny slight after taste of wax ( seriously it’s barely noticeable) but in my professional opinion as a cheesemonger, your gonna get that with any cheese encase in wax. Red dragon,and challenger cheddar are both encased in wax,have the same issue but are both high quality cheeses. Love babybels plus they fit in my lunches!!
I feel like you can't go wrong with a babybel for a quick snack. They melt great too.
Solid and classic snacking cheese, if a bit salty!
I love these little cheese wheels!! The individual packaging is great for a quick and sanitary snack too!
I get the vegan babybels and I absolutely love them for those times I crave cheese as a dairy-free person!

Great snacking cheese if you like that kind of thing.
Used to ray this all the time, although in a larger size than this. Very tasty, mild cheese and the was exterior is a lot nicer to dig into than plastic.

Although I have always loved this, I am no longer eating non-kosher cheeses which begs the question: couldn’t you use a kosher rennet eleiminating the meat component to this?
Doesn't everyone have a stash of these in their fridge at all times? Creamy, pairs with everything. Being picky that sometimes the wrapper is difficult to open. Otherwise, should be in the fridge at all times.

Hell ya I'm gonna review Babybel! These are pure nostalgia. I remember making sculptures out of the wax. Is that weird? Who cares. And the cheese is the perfect creamy snack.
Love these! They are the perfect size, fun to peel & eat, and come in so many flavors. I will say that I tried the low fat version as I’m trying to eat healthier and did not enjoy that as much as the original. But the new probiotic tastes exactly the same and has the added benefits of probiotics. Definitely recommend!
I love the little wax cheeses they make me feel so fancy and refined.

The cheese is great quality, and I enjoy unwrapping the little wax coverings. They have a smooth taste, and a creamy finish. They are perfect with crackers.
Babybel snack-size cheese are an American classic. Although I don't have them often, Babybel's mini cheese rounds make the perfect on-the-go snack.

I wish Babybel had a greater variety of flavors and dairy-free options.

Perfect for afternoon snacks and grab and go item to accompany lunch. I like the flavor very rich creaminess.
One of my favorite cheeses to eat. Creamy, light, not pungent and tasty.
Perfect for snacks when I'm too lazy to cut a hunk off of something else in my fridge. Peeling off the wax is fun too
Haha, I think it's funny to find this brand on here. Grew up on the playground eating this, and when we were finished, we'd clump the red wax into a ball and play with it for the rest of the day until it stuck in our hair. Truly the taste of my childhood and I cherish it as well. Always fun to eat one and get a blast from the past.
Babybel overall is good... but the plant based Babybels are phenomenal. I like them better than the original, hands down. I mean, I'm not gonna turn one down if offered- but the plant based is by far superior to me.

From the packaging to the taste, the plant based wheels are amazing.
