"The cheesy faceoff had Emporium Selection Aged Reserved New York in Aldi's corner, with Cabot Creamery three-year-aged cheddar in Costco's. The reviewer noted that both pack in bold flavor with few ingredients. But the Emporium took the lead, despite being aged for 12 months rather than the Cabot's 36. Note the "New York" label, though: This cheddar variety has a reputation for packing a punch."
"Aside from equally impressive flavor profiles, pricing swayed the balance. At the time of review, Costco retailed two pounds of Cabot Creamery cheddar for approximately $13 (notably undercutting the $10 per pound price on the Cabot Creamery website). Still, Aldi was a clear winner. Grab its Emporium cheddar at $2.49 per 10 ounces, ultimately securing two pounds of cheese for an unbeatable $7.96. You can't argue with almost halved costs and equivalent taste."
Aldi's Emporium Selection Aged Reserved New York white cheddar is aged 12 months and delivers bold, sharp flavor comparable to Cabot Creamery's three-year-aged cheddar. Two pounds of Emporium cheddar cost about $7.96 ($2.49 per 10 ounces), while two pounds of Cabot at Costco retail for approximately $13. The Cabot website lists Cabot at about $10 per pound, making Costco cheaper than retail but still more expensive than Aldi. The New York cheddar variety is known for packing a punch. Shoppers report that Emporium often tastes like specialty-store cheese and regularly ranks among the best cheeses at Aldi.
