Alfredo Maxi-Mozzarella over 50% more expensive than the normal size - a cheat pack?

Alfredo Maxi-Mozzarella über 50% teurer als die normale Grösse - eine Mogelpackung?

People like to buy larger packs on the assumption that they are relatively cheaper. I did the same with Alfredo mozzarella and bought a maxi mozzarella (250g for CHF 3.70) instead of a normal round mozzarella (150g for CHF 1.45). Only if you look very closely and compare the small printed 100gr price will you realize that the maxi pack is over 50% more expensive than the normal sized mozzarella. I'd rather buy two normal mozzarella balls, it's much cheaper. The maxi mozzarella seems to me to be a cheat pack. How can Migros explain this big price difference?

Stupid question, but is the weight of the balls calculated including the brine? So purely fictitious example: 100g is 1.- but 40g of that is water/brine, so it would be more correct to get only 60g of cheese for 1.-. I'm not familiar with mozzarella 😅

No. As you know, this is the drained weight.

Hello Mababu Thank you for your post about mozzarella. 8 x 250 g Alfredo Mozzarella Maxi Stange has to be produced in the specialty department and therefore has almost three times the higher production costs. Due to the smaller quantities, the packaging material is more expensive and the capacity utilization in the packaging is lower. The quantities sold are clearly the decisive factor for the mozzarella costs. As soon as we can produce more on the large-scale plant, the costs are reduced. But certain minimum quantities are essential for this. Have a nice Tuesday, best wishes Angela
