"From the boxes full of off-brand snack dupes to the quirky quarter-operated carts, there really is a unique charm that comes with shopping at the German-born grocery giant. I've been a major fan of the chain ever since an old roommate convinced me to stop shopping at the pricey regional stores and take a trip with him to Aldi. My mind was forever changed."
"Not everything at Aldi is a winner, and there are plenty of Aldi products that should be avoided at all costs. But among the few gnarly picks, Aldi's shelves are lined with surprisingly delicious house-brand meats, desserts, dairy products, produce, and - my personal favorite - bread from Specially Selected. Specially Selected is Aldi's gourmet grocery line, and I'm not ashamed to admit that I can vogue for just about every single product in its lineup."
"Unlike a lot of grocery-store sourdough bread brands, the Specially Selected loaf has a potent sour flavor. It's never overbearing, but it's also impossible to miss with every bite. The tangy taste is made even better with incredibly soft dough. Right out of the bag, it has a squishy, melt-in-your-mouth texture, and toasting offers a whole new sensory experience."
Shopping at Aldi offers a distinctive, budget-friendly experience with off-brand finds and unique store quirks. The Specially Selected line provides gourmet-style items such as jarred olives, real-fruit jams, artisanal cheeses, and specialty breads. The Specially Selected Sliced Sourdough Round features a pronounced sour tang balanced by very soft dough and a squishy, melt-in-your-mouth texture straight from the bag. Toasting the thin pre-sliced rounds produces a perfectly crisp exterior while preserving a soft interior, creating a satisfying crunchy-yet-tender bite worthy of regular pantry rotation.
