A couple of years ago we did a large blind taste test of cheeses and ended up switching from Grande to Bacio, which was about a 1 per pound savings. Now, with the cheese market as it is, we are just over $4/lb for Diced Whole Milk Mozzarella. Going to be sampling some other options and am looking for recommendations

I liked bacio. I just hated PFG online ordering. But Bacio is up there right now too

The Sysco guy told me they have a in-house premium.

Are you switching strictly because the price is up? If so the market is going to start to go back down in the near future. I don’t advise a switch on just price, unless the quality of the product is down as well

All of my vendors carry it

Reinhart/PFG
Sysco
Colony

TBH Ive had luck with every Wisconsin mozzarella cheese no vastly noticeable difference.

The only mozzarella cheese I absolutely HATED was Arezzio mozzarella from Sysco

I still use shredded grande I got 500 lbs today at $4.06 a pound. It’s slowly going down, it was $4.11 on my Friday truck.
