Bodegraven, 28 March 2023 – In the latest episode of “Keuringsdienst van Waarde”, reporters investigate the quality of pre-sliced cheese sold in plastic packaging. Spoiler alert: it's certainly not the best cheese. They also visit cheese expert Betty Koster, who demonstrates in her shop that it's impossible to get slices like those from a round—and much tastier—cheese. How does she show this? Yes, indeed—with our Unika+!
The episode makes it very clear: square, pre-packaged cheese is not the best quality. Especially not when it's also ripened in plastic. "But how can you tell as a consumer whether the cheese on your sandwich comes from a round or rectangular wheel? After all, supermarket packaging doesn’t mention the shape of the cheese. If you really want to know, it’s best to buy your cheese from a cheesemonger or slice it yourself." (source: Keuringsdienst van Waarde)
