It was carried out face-to-face interviews using a structured questionnaire, in which was performed a Best-Worst Discrete Choice Experiment of case 1. The answers were analysed by Best-Worst Score. The preference heterogeneity was assessed through factorial analysis. It was found that the appearance of beef is the most important attribute on consumers’ purchase decision and it is followed by its freshness, packaging/expiry date, smell and texture. It was observed the existence of groups of consumers with different preferences by factors that group the evaluated attributes. For example, men attach more importance to the attributes (organic and fat amount) of the healthy dimension while women give more importance to the attributes from expiry data/packaging dimension.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> ER -
