Dodoni rated cheesy in feta ratings
Let’s be honest, a sprinkle of cheese is what really makes a salad worth eating. It’s one easy way to avoid being cut up over having to eat your greens, especially if you add a little feta (or a block)! Fun fact: feta is derived from the Italian word ‘fetta’ which means slice!
Feta is created by salting and curing milk from certain breeds of sheep and goats, in a brine solution for months, before removing it to dry out. The curdled milk containing rennet is then separated and drained in a cloth bag or mold, and later sliced, salted and packed in brine. OK, but which feta offers the right balance of taste and value?
To find out, we surveyed almost 400 Aussies for their feedback on the feta cheese they have purchased from a supermarket or grocer (i.e. not a deli) and eaten in the last three months. Survey respondents rated brands on factor including their taste, value for money and overall satisfaction. Those which met the minimum required sample size of 30 responses are featured in our results.
In our first ever feta cheese review, Dodoni dominated the ratings as the only brand to achieve a five-star rating for overall satisfaction. It also achieved full marks for taste, and a solid four stars for variety and packaging design. Although its score slightly dipped to three stars when it came to value for money.
