Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!

How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.

If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.

Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)

If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].

Rules:

1. NO POLITICS

Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.

2. Be civil.

Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...

Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.

5. No trolling.

This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.

Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

I prefer Kraft parmesan cheese over DOP parmigiano reggiano (lemmy.world)

I've been thinking about this recently since I've been making a lot of pasta and I actually prefer the taste of Kraft parmesan cheese on a lot of things over the "real" parmigiano reggiano especially when it's used as a topping eg. ceasar salad and pasta. I find that parmigiano reggiano has way too strong of a flavor and it clashes too much when eaten with other things.

I don't know on what country/area of the world you are, maybe the two products aren't equally available or have different prices.

Here in Italy, Grana Padano has a slightly lower price than Parmigiano Reggiano, and they are equally available generally in big and small distribution stores.

I like grana much more than parmigiano because it has a more delicate taste. The latter has a higher fat percentage and you feel that "greasy" taste which not everyone likes.

The price difference is due to stricter regulations in the parmigiano specification which should result in a more qualitative product (not only grass feed cattle but also from very specific regions, milk can be collected just once a day, no preservatives are allowed whatsoever, etc.).
