Sliced Mozzarella Cheese - Better at Continente or Lidl? 

​Both Lidl and Continente have a similar packaging for their cheese slices. A plastic package that does not re-seal. *eyeroll* It's a great way for cheese to get dried out and weird quick.

Side By Side: Continente vs. Lidl Milbona Mozzarella Cheese Taste Test

Continente Queijo Mozzarella

​Continente Mozzarella Cheese slices were inconsistently sliced, a sort of square-ish shape, and in this case those indents are just because this slice was on the bottom of the package.

Blind Taste Test Results

​In the blind taste test we assumed the creamier cheese with less flavor was Lidl brand and the slice with more robust flavor was Continente's. We preferred the more flavorful slice. 

In reality, the more flavorful slice belonged to Lidl's Milbona brand!

Therefore Lidl brand wins this taste off! 
​

Which Mozzarella Cheese Should YOU BUy?

​In the grand scheme of things, both of these are nice slices of mozzarella cheese which are tasty to eat on their own and melt well in, say, a grilled cheese sandwich.

​After doing this taste test we repurchased Continente's because we happened to be at that grocery store when we needed more mozz. However if we were going to both stores we would pick it up at Lidl instead. :)
