How we test

We tested unprocessed sliced cheese products available in major Australian supermarket chains, including Coles, Woolworths, Aldi and IGA. The price per 100g is based on the pack price in Sydney stores (not on special) in May 2024.

Our panel of three experts tasted the sliced cheese samples 'blind' (without knowing the brands). Samples were tasted cold (unmelted) and also warm (melted on toast), and each sample was independently judged on appearance, aroma, flavour, texture and meltability.

Here's a breakdown of the sensory weightings:

  • Flavour (40%)
  • Texture (30%)
  • Aroma (20%)
  • Appearance (10%)

The ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳Expert Rating, our overall score, consists of 60% sensory score, 30% nutrition score (consisting wholly of the Health Star Rating) and 10% meltability score.
