Flavorfully Infused Cheeses

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Aldi Specially Selected Cheeses Explore Unique Sweet & Spicy Profiles

— January 17, 2025 — Lifestyle
Aldi Specially Selected cheeses specifically speak to those with bold tastes who want to delight their taste buds to something new. Although Aldi offers plenty of options who prefer their flavors plain, simple and classic, the innovatively flavored options in the Specially Selected range venture out of the norm.

While fans of all things sweet and buttery will savor the Wensleydale with West Country Fudge with a cheesecake taste, the Coastal Cheddar with Wasabi and Ginger promises to cleanse the palate with an unmistakable zesty zing. Other interesting options in the range include Specially Selected Bombay Spiced Red Leicester with Geeta’s Mango Chutney and Specially Selected Coastal Cheddar with Pineapple.

Launched for the holiday entertaining season, Aldi's new range of Specially Selected cheeses brought interesting, affordable options to the table, with prices starting at just £2.49.
