Not sure about Lidl or Aldi but I use the Tesco brand in my cheesecakes (and pate's) and it's lovely!

Yeah thyre fine, but get the full fat ones. Helps the cheesecake set better.

Make sure to read the ingredients carefully, I am guessing some brands might not state they are flavoured on the front but could have small amounts of stuff like garlic in them.

Like hellmans mayo has mustard & paprika in it which some might not expect to be in mayonnaise.

Have used it but only in frosting dogs cakes have you tried Mascarpone, the cheapest one I've found is in Dunnes I think it's €1.56 ish a pack not sure if that's cheaper than regular philly but it's so yum for cheesecakes.
