Showing the top 35 of the 35 Dunnes Stores cheese products that carry a comparable calorie figure, ranked by protein per 100 calories.
What Dunnes Stores's cheese looks like next to everyone else's
Median across the 35 Dunnes Stores cheese products with usable figures is 6.4g of protein per 100 calories. That is ahead of the 4.5g median for cheese across every chain and brand in the database, which is 698 products.
Exactly one clears 10g of protein per 100 calories, which is the line Keith uses for a food that pays for its calories.
Of the four chains carrying enough cheese to compare, Dunnes Stores comes second, behind SuperValu on 6.7g.
The best Dunnes Stores option here reaches 15g of protein per 100 calories; somewhere in the wider cheese group something reaches 18.9g, so Dunnes Stores is not where the ceiling is.
Calories run from 129 to 402 per 100g across the Dunnes Stores cheese range, a 3-fold spread, so “Dunnes Stores cheese” on its own tells you almost nothing about what a portion costs you.

Where this fits
Cheese across every Irish store is the wider group this sits in, and everything else Dunnes Stores sells is the other half of the comparison.
A protein-per-calorie number is only useful once you know the target, and that is how much protein a day actually works out to.
