The Brand That's Probably Behind Aldi's Parmesan Cheese
By Kalea Martin
Aldi's Reggano Parmesan cheese is one of the store's many highly rated store-brand products, but the online community seems to think that Kraft Heinz actually makes this product.
As YouTuber FoodFights shared in a taste test of Reggano and Kraft Parmesan cheese, the two products look and taste virtually identical. The difference is that Aldi's is cheaper.
The branding on the bottles may be different, but the list of ingredients, from cellulose powder to potassium sorbate, is the same and listed in the same order.
The Kraft version discloses that Kraft Heinz manufactures it, but the information is conveniently left out on the Reggano bottle, which only states "distributed by Aldi."
Both cheeses name Illinois as the product's origin. Considering these similarities, it wouldn't be too far-fetched to assume that Kraft is behind Reggano Parmesan cheese.
