Whether you’re creating a snack board for two or need ideas for festive spreads that please a crowd, you can’t go wrong shopping at Aldi. The retailer just brought back its holiday charcuterie essentials, and I’m not ashamed to say that I’ve already shopped the seasonal selection twice. While I was browsing the aisles for crackers and their best pairing—cheese—I noticed a fan-favorite variety was back on the shelves. Needless to say, it was an immediate add-to-cart.
Specially Selected Traditional Tête De Moine Rosettes Cheese
Specially Selected Traditional Tête de Moine Rosettes Cheese is back on shelves at Aldi. The cheese has been a holiday favorite among shoppers for years, not only due to its bold Swiss cheese flavor but also because of its unique look. The ultra-thin cheese slices are formed into small bundles that resemble delicate rosettes. The flower shapes make the perfect addition to elegant appetizers and party platters. Even better, each pack, which comes with eight rosettes, costs about $6.
And while we’re awestruck by the presentation, the quality is top-notch, too. This pre-shaved Aldi find is a version of the traditional, award-winning Tête de Moine cheese produced in the village of Bellelay, Switzerland.
In a recent Facebook post, one person shared a photo of the rosettes and called the dairy product their “forever favorite cheese from Aldi.” The user continued to explain why they love it so much: “They are cut so thin, the cheese almost melts in your mouth. The flavor is similar to Parmesan,” they wrote.
Additional fans quickly flooded the comment section with praise for the find and suggested pairing it with fruit jams, spicy spreads, and hot honey.
It’s important to note that this is a strong cheese. If you don’t mind fragrant varieties, you’ll likely appreciate the sharp flavor. However, if you prefer milder options, such as Cheddar, this is one to skip or use solely as a decorative element. And it doesn’t have to go to waste. Guests who enjoy the taste will be thrilled with the option to take any extras home. That is, if there are any.
You can find Specially Selected Traditional Tête de Moine Rosettes in the refrigerated dairy section. This appears to be a seasonal item, meaning it won’t last long, so be sure to stock up for all your holiday gatherings before it disappears.
