The Classic Cheeseburger

While the gourmet wave is sweeping over the world of burgers, the classic cheeseburger is still the burger of choice for most people. Our research show that 45% of consumers would go with the ol’ fashioned cheeseburger if they could have only one burger.

The classic burger was first introduced in 1926 and hasn’t changed much since. It’s a simple bun filled with joy that everyone likes to indulge in from time to time. While the gourmet wave is sweeping over the world of burgers, the classic burger is still the burger of choice for most people.

The classic burger is as simple as it is delicious. Beef, bun, patty and cheese, as well as one or all of the following ingredients: tomatoes, sauce, onions, salad, bacon or pickles. Typically, no more than seven ingredients are used to prepare this all-time classic. With its immense popularity among consumers, it’s always good for business to have a well-made, high-quality classic burger on your menu.

The right cheese for the job

At Arla – a farmer-owned dairy cooperative with Nordic roots – we’ve been making quality cheeses for decades. Now, we’ve handpicked the ones best suited for burgers and put them through a rigorous testing process to make sure they live up to the demands of professional burger chefs. We’ve tested for taste, smell and look. We’ve tested for meltability and stretchability. We’ve even tested how the cheeses look, feel and taste after 20+ minutes in a hotbox. Just to see how well they would perform in delivery or “on the go” food. This is why we’re dedicated to burger perfection.
