Shoppers ‘obsessed’ with $4 ‘hidden’ Aldi product

The German supermarket has brought back a “hidden” favourite that’s been labelled “great to eat on a cold night”.

It’s a truth universally acknowledged that the only thing better than cheese is when it comes crumbed and toasted in the oven.

OK so maybe that’s just my opinion, but a $4 Aldi fridge item is gaining a cult following online after a fresh round of customers discovered the “hidden” product.

Aldi’s The Emporium Selection Crumbed Camembert first hit shelves in 2019 as part of the store’s limited time only product range but has since returned with new packaging.

In a TikTok that’s been viewed more than 24,000 times @emilyclairwebster shared her review of the cheesy product, describing it as “a great last minute appetiser as it only takes 10 minutes in the oven”.

“It’s so yummy and great to eat on a cold night,” she added.

Another shopper shared the $4 crumbed camembert in the Aldi Fans Australia Facebook group, writing, “Who has had these hidden from me? OMG delish delish delish. My word these little gems are the bomb.”

Other Aldi customers agreed, saying the “delicious” cheese wheels were made the perfect meal and could even be cooked in the air fryer.

“We have it on some rocket with balsamic dressing and then the cheese and sauce on top. The balance is perfect,” one person wrote.

“I hope I can freeze them cause I’m obsessed with these,” another commented.

“Tried them a few years ago and yes they are the bomb,” one shopper wrote.

An Aldi Australia spokeswoman said the supermarket “love to see our customers enjoying our products”.

“The Emporium Selection Crumbed Camembert has a new look, so it may stand out to shoppers who have tried it when it was previously in store,” they said.

“ They are currently available for a limited time only, but we constantly listen to customers’ feedback when it comes to bringing favourite products back to shelves – we cam-embert to let anybody down!”
