“Brilliant news!” The sell-out $6 ALDI item that’s back in stores for good
Shoppers are going wild over ALDI’s latest re-launch of their popular Le Pave, with many comparing the $5.99 creamy cheese to D’Affinois that retails for three times the price.
Cheese fans can now grab the sought-after item in the refrigerated aisle after they’ve sold out two times prior.
But now, the German retailer has announced that there’s no rush to grab the cheese before it runs out, as the popular item is here to stay.
Taking to Facebook to announce the happy news, ALDI shared a photo of a platter, sending cheese connoisseurs into a frenzy.
“STOP THE PRESS: Le Pave French cheese is back at ALDI,” wrote the supermarket.
“You’ll be happy to hear it’s now part of our everyday range.”
It didn’t take long for the post to gain traction, with hundreds of people describing the cheese as “delicious”, and “amazing”.
“That’s brilliant news – it is absolutely delicious, oozy French cheese,” said one user.
“This cheese alone is worth the trip to ALDI,” said another.
“Hooray! This cheese is absolutely delicious!” wrote a user.
Many compared the budget food product to its more expensive counterpart, saying it tastes better than D’Affinois.
“I never thought I would say this, but it’s actually better than D’Affinois,” wrote one shopper.
“It’s soft and creamy with a decent bite,” said another.
D’Affinois is priced at $18 in supermarkets around the country, costing three times more than ALDI’s $5.99 Le Pave.
“We are proud of the award-winning cheese range on offer at ALDI, including our popular Le Pave cheese,” said a spokesperson for ALDI.
“Crafted from the heart of France, we have been stocking Le Pace cheese ($5.99/200g) at ALDI since April 2017.
“Le Pave is produced within the Pays de la Loire region of France at one of the largest remaining dairy cooperatives in the country. To ensure its quality, the product is airfreighted to Australia on a weekly basis.”
