#1 Kirkland Signature Granola
According to one study conducted by the Harvard School of Public Health, oats, which are the main ingredient in granolas, are high in fiber and have been linked to improving heart health.
Considering both cost and taste, granola is one product where Kirkland Signature has an advantage over the original product. In fact, a comparison was made between the Ancient Grain Kirkland granola and a similar product from Nature Valley.
The tasters’ conclusion? Nature Valley’s granola was way too sweet, while the Costco granola was unexpectedly complex and rich. It also had more interesting ingredients, such as whole grains, that intensified the granola’s flavor.
#2 Kirkland Signature Parmigiano Reggiano
A poor quality cheese can truly ruin your whole meal. The powdery stuff you sprinkle on your pizza or pasta is one thing, but it’s not the same as the real deal: Parmigiano Reggiano.
There is just one way to make it. In fact, the Parmigiano Reggiano Consorzio is the one who regulates and decides what can be called “Parmigiano Reggiano”. Also, any cheese claiming that label MUST be made in Italy. Any brand that uses the consortium logo to stamp inauthentic cheese can face a serious lawsuit.
Kirkland Signature Parmigiano Reggiano is authentic, logo and all. That means you can have some high-quality cheese at a reasonable price. You can either get the 72-pound wheel of cheese and drain your wallet or buy smaller, but more affordable, portions.
