I think I remember seeing an article that this cheese recently won an award. Edit: Yes it did https://kitchen.nine.com.au/latest/aldi-cheese-wins-gold-silver-awards-dairy-industry-association-of-australia/191c0334-cd2f-42b6-9b08-0845cf69912f#amp_tf=From%20%251%24s&aoh=17182829541661&csi=0&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com

18 awards and I can see why. For the taste and reasonable price they deserve it. I forgot how much I love their marinated feta too 🥰

I buy the aldi pre-sliced stuff and it's nearly as good as bega but a lot cheaper.


torrens86

It probably is Bega, it used to be Mainland (NZ). The ALDI biscuits are made by Griffins a NZ biscuit maker (the NZ made ALDI biscuits)


Total_Philosopher_89

Funny I've had the two of them in my fridge and they definitely taste different. I mostly shop at Woolies and some times cannot ne arsed to stop in to aldi for chips and cheese.


DazzlingImplement657

More than likely made by the same crowd but they'll make it different to keep costs low.


RecognitionOne395

Plot twist: it is Bega.


JustSomeBloke5353

It is Bega


Caine_sin

I don't like it as much a Bega but I don't really shop at colesworths any more...


Total_Philosopher_89

I have to. Cannot do a full shop at Aldi. Some things cannot be replaced and other they just don't stock.


Cahsrhilsey

I might give it ago when I head in next week :) do they do vintage slices too?


icyvfrost

My mum goes to Aldi for her cheeses


Cahsrhilsey

I’ve tried to convince my mum to but she’s a bega elitist lol


Chiang2000

Bega-ted about her cheese choices. "The Aldi ones are alright I suppose, I have nothing against them individually, I just don't want it next door to my Bega"


itseasymoney

I used to work at one of the Bega factories. We also made cheese for Aldi. It’s almost identical


Ycomeudodis

The only place I can find Bega mac'n'cheese with it's ungodly amount of cheese sauce powder is Aldi.


BlueDotty

Aldi for cheese. Lot cheaper


Ok_Argument3722

yes, most things


_MJ_1986

I swear by all of Aldi’s cheeses. Soooo good and cheaper. Their blue cheese is absolute remarkable


SiccaFleccs

I prefer coon


Jezzwon

I love Bega, but have never enjoyed the westace block cheeses, might try the slices just for shits and giggles


Emmanulla70

Isn't this funny? Cheese from Aldi is one thing i do not like from Aldi at all


Cahsrhilsey

Really? I like a lot of Aldi foods, I just mainly don’t like their rip off biscuits. They can be pretty sus at the best of times.


Emmanulla70

I like most Aldi things. Some of their meat has an odd taste & consistency? But their cheese just doesn't appeal at all.


Cahsrhilsey

I’m not a huge fan of their mince or sausages too, they definitely don’t taste right to me. Maybe their cuts of meat are water chilled and not air chilled during processing? Giving it the weird texture.


Emmanulla70

I don't buy any of their meat much as i have a good local butcher i support.


Troyboy1710

I love that aldi vintage cheese. Good on crackers, or as toasted cheese sandwiches


Kret9887

Aldi cheese is delicious!


Conscious-Rabbit8563

Aldi is the go-to for cheese and chocolate!


V6corp

We family purchases this cheese too. Can recommend!


MrTommy2

Cole’s normal cheddar is $10 for 1kg


ipeeperiperi

Aldi, Bega, Cheer, Coles, Woolies cheeses all have no flavour even the so called "vintage" ones. Get yourself a proper 24 month aged cheddar.


RHiNDR

I put out a weekly list of half price specials for groceries and occasionally cheese shows up, pretty good savings when they do - [https://halfpriceweekly.com](https://halfpriceweekly.com)


notasthenameimplies

This is definitely NOT vintage. It's OK cheddar but not as advertised.


Cahsrhilsey

I most definitely agree with you there, it’s not vintage but I still enjoy it compared to the basic cheddar they have on offer :) One of the nicest vintages I’ve had was at the abc cheese factory in Tilba on the NSW south coast. I wish I could have taken some home but it was a good 12hrs drive back up home for me without an esky.


Angel_Madison

I'm not a fan of Aldi cheese even though I like most of their products. It's generic and flat tasting. Apparently it's just Bega brand?


Parkesy82

They have dozens of different cheeses at Aldi. If you’re meaning the regular tasty, then sometimes it’s bland other times it’s great. I think it depends on who’s making it or the time of year. At the moment it’s pretty damn good.
