We recommend shredded cheese products with a CHOICE Expert Rating of 80% or more.

The CHOICE Expert Rating, our overall score, is made up of taste 70% (50% flavour and aroma, 30% texture, 20% presentation) and nutrition 30% (100% Health Star Rating, calculated from the details in the nutrition information panel and converted to a percentage).

The experts tasted all cheese samples blind (without knowing the brands) in a randomised order, which was different for each expert. They scored each sample for flavour and aroma, texture and presentation weighted as follows: 50% flavour and aroma, 30% texture, 20% presentation.

Nutrition score is based on the product's Health Star Rating (HSR). The HSR is calculated from the details in the nutrition information panel and converted to a percentage.
