Supermarket cheese that costs £3.80 named best in UK - beating iconic Cathedral City A recent survey conducted by Which? revealed the best supermarket cheese in the UK The best cheddar cheese in the UK has been chosen (Image: Getty Images ) Cheddar cheese is a staple in many homes. It's versatile, enjoyable on its own or as an accompaniment to various dishes. A recent survey by Which? unveiled the top supermarket cheese in the UK, and the findings may surprise you. ‌ A renowned brand doesn't necessarily guarantee superior taste. In this instance, a supermarket's own-brand cheese outperformed the famous Cathedral City in flavour. In a blind tasting, the panel judged the cheeses on their aroma, appearance, texture, and most crucially, taste, reports the Mirror. Cheddar, when consumed in moderation, offers nutritional benefits. It's rich in protein and a good source of minerals like iodine and phosphorus, along with vitamins B2, B5, and B12.

The taste testers sampled a variety of supermarket-own brand mature cheddar cheeses from Aldi, Tesco, Sainsbury's, alongside big-name brands. The Express reported that Tesco's Finest Mature English Cheddar Cheese emerged victorious.

Shoppers can find this delectable cheese at any Tesco supermarket, priced at £3.80 for a 350g pack. The site stated: "Our testers loved the look of this cheese and highly rated its first, smooth texture. Most also thought its salt level and strength of flavour were just right. People found it pleasingly crumbly and creamy, too." The runner-up was the MandS Cornish Cove Mature Cheddar Cheese, which earned praise as a "good all-rounder" from the tasting panel, achieving a score of 73%. Priced at £4.25 for a 350g pack, it certainly made an impression. ‌ "The majority of our tastes said the salt level was right, and they were also impressed by the smooth, firm texture," was the accompanying comment. "Its flavour and crumbliness satisfied most tasters, too." Aldi's Specially Selected West Country Mature Cheddar stood out as the most wallet-friendly choice, retailing at just £2.99 for 350g. Nevertheless, its flavour didn't quite hit the mark, with many tasters finding it "bland" and taking issue with the cheese's texture. In an unexpected twist, the popular Cathedral City brand didn’t reach the summit, only managing to amass a total score of 70%. Despite being one of the more affordable options (and the overall winner), the flavour didn't fully win over the tasters.
