Emporium Selection French Brie Cheese 125g $3 @ ALDI

Hi everyone

I am not sure whether this is a special deal but it certainly deserves to be as I will explain.

First though, I am not in any associated with Aldi nor am I shilling for them for any purpose. I just find this cheese to be epic and great value.

With that out out of the way here is the long winded explanation. I regularly buy the little $3 Brie and Camembert cheeses from Coles, Woolworths and Aldi (prices may vary a little). They all taste pretty much the same and there is a not a lot of flavour in these cheeses. With respect to the Aldi cheeses I am referring to their normal cheap brie and camembert cheeses which I recall were selling for $2.79.

Recently though whilst shopping in Aldi I noticed that they were also selling a similar size Brie but called 'French Brie'. Closer examination showed that it is made in France. It has a blue and white wrapper and is marked as 'Emporium selection' and cost $3.

I bought some home and tried it but was blown away by the flavour which is much stronger than other similar cheeses. Its like the cheese has been flavoured with truffles or with a very mild blue vein flavour. It is extremely moorish. Normally I would not bother to post a deal like this but given that the flavour is as good as cheeses with much higher price tags and given that it may only be a temporary deal I think it is worth mentioning here.

Again this stuff is so moorish. [Warning you will get fat - try at own risk!].

I'm interested to hear other's comments on this cheese as its so much better than the normal Brie and Camembert supermarket cheeses you buy for the same price.

cheers Peter
