The budget supermarket chain has released some experimental cheese flavours to add to your Christmas cheese board
Aldi has unveiled a series of quirky new cheese flavours for Christmas, including wasabi and cheddar and a fudge-infused cheese. The supermarket’s latest range of Specially Selected cheeses start from just £2.49.
A festive cheeseboard is a staple of many family’s Christmas spreads, and there are a few classic products you’re guaranteed to find on the table. But this Christmas, shoppers can opt for bold flavours to mix things up a bit. The unusual flavour combinations aren’t what you’d usually expect to find in the supermarket’s cheese aisle.
One of the cheeses on offer is the Specially Selected Wensleydale with West Country Fudge, priced at £2.49 for 200g. The retailer says “this unique cheese blends the tangy, crumbly texture of Wensleydale with the rich, buttery sweetness of West Country fudge, creating a surprisingly delicious cheesecake taste that’s perfect for satisfying both that sweet and savoury craving”.
