Aldi cheese dept
Mar 24^th, 2015 at 12:34pm

I don't tell you about these things to promote Aldi. I tell you about them because I find it such great value and quality that you deserve to know.

Please check out Aldi's cheeses. For a start, many of them are medal winners at shows like the Royal Easter.

I want to tell you today about their Club Cheddar. Now I've eaten club cheddars many times before but the one I got from Aldi last week for the first time is just honestly the best I've ever tasted.
Bugger the cholesterol, it just melts in your mouth and unlike others it doesn't overdo the ripe creamy flavour. The balance is just perfect.

You're a bloody mug if you don't try it.

It tasted very nice but the cheese was way too firm for a Camembert. I'm not sure what went wrong, but it was a bit of a disappointment.

check out woollies select cheese..

I hate it the way they are pushing their "Select" range in by limiting other brands..

they used to have a number of tasty cheeses but last time I was there it was down to two..

black person and Select...

so I decide to try they Select "Extra Tasty" because I wanted a large pack of sliced cheese and they didn't have it in black person..

the Select is from Tasmania.. and boy... it was so tasty...

normal tasty - Green Pack
extra tasty - Red Pack..

same price...

Vintage cheese - best
Parmesan in a bag - best.
Club cheddar - best.
Gouda, Swiss - sliced, packaged cheese at its best.
Mozzarella - best

Blue, camembert, brie - very limited, understandably, so not in contention.

Aldi has the best mass produced cheese. It's the top of the mass market stuff.

They will not have a deli section but I do wonder how good that would be. They obviously have a knack for sourcing excellent stuff. An ALDI's Deli could be something very, very good. Honest to goodness quality continental providore with a distinct Northern European accent.

Sorry it was a current affair - same thing to me.

No it was a segment on cheap shopping - the comment was that the cheese was being advertised at a normal low price but as soon as the advertising finished the price went up the next week.

Wollies Homebrand Parmesan isn't that great on pasta. I prefer fresh block Romano to grate myself, but as an add in to recipes it works a charm. Wink

Does Aldi have block Imported Italian Romano (goat milk preferably) ?

Not best parmesan - best parmesan in a bag.

I haven't had Stilton for donkey's yonks. It was my former husband's favourite. He also liked goat cheese (chèvre) which was a little like Camembert but a little more "tart".

I remember being at a party, oh it would have to have been 50 years ago, and there was a plate of cheese cubes of Red Leicester and it was the first time I'd tasted it. I think I demolished most of the plate. (not the first time I've done that)
