"I'm a regular shopper at my local Aldi; I've ranked its Fall products and compared its pizzas against competitors, all for the love of the game. Though it's not my closest grocery store, I often go out of my way for it, because it's just that much more preferable to just about anything else (though Trader Joe's is probably number one). And if you, like me, love shopping at Aldi, there's no better time of year than during the holidays."
"Truffles are polarizing and enigmatic in the food world. I can handle truffle in mild amounts, but this goat cheese was not at all mild. As soon as I so much as pierced the plastic, I was met with the pungent, absolutely undeniable smell of truffles. It was not appetizing to me at all, but maybe it would be to someone deeply in love with this flavor profile and eagerly anticipating the highest possible truffle impact."
"I really like Aldi's basic goat cheese, and often buy it for myself on regular grocery trips. So the cheese itself is a nonissue; the texture is lovely, silky, and smooth, with a great tanginess. But I just couldn't get past the potent truffle flavor. It was strong before I ate the cheese, while I ate the cheese, and for at least ten minutes after I ate the cheese. That's how truffle-forward this product is."
Aldi's shelves fill with limited-edition holiday items that appear once per year and sometimes do not return. Shoppers may be tempted to buy many seasonal items, so targeted evaluations of taste, texture, freshness, and value can guide purchases. The Emporium Selection Truffle Goat Cheese emits a pungent, undeniable truffle aroma upon opening and delivers an intense truffle flavor that persists during and long after eating. The base goat cheese has a silky, smooth texture and bright tanginess, but the truffle-forward profile makes this product suitable only for consumers who desire extreme truffle impact.
