Aussies melt over Perfect Italiano in parmesan ratings
Life without cheese is like pasta without parmesan, or pizza without stringy cheese ─ bland. In fact, a third of Aussies we surveyed (31%) said cheese is the one food they couldn’t live without. Nearly one in four (23%) also said they eat cheese every day. Thankfully, there are plenty of block, grated and sliced cheeses available at the shops to give your favourite meals and life a little more flavour. But what is it exactly about parmesan cheese that makes you melt?
We’ve set out to find the best parmesan cheese in Australia by asking more than 300 shoppers for their feedback on the packaged parmesan cheese they’ve purchased and consumed within the last three months. Survey respondents rated brands on taste, texture, range variety, packaging design, value for money and overall satisfaction. Brands that met the minimum required survey sample size of 30 responses are featured in our results.
Perfect Italiano was the much-needed sprinkle in Aussies’ dishes, scoring five stars in most research categories – including overall satisfaction.
