The ALDI Specially Selected Butters range has been expanded by the UK-based retailer to provide consumers with some artisanal ways to elevate their holiday entertaining. The private label butters come in two new options including Ginger & Cinnamon and Truffle & Parmesan, which are hitting ALDI locations this month alongside the returning Garlic & Herb variety.
The Ginger & Cinnamon butter is positioned as sweet and delicately spiced to work well on waffles and crepes, while the Truffle & Parmesan is suited for pairing with cheese boards or drizzling over meat or vegetables.
The new additions to the ALDI Specially Selected Butters range are priced at £1.99 per 110-gram block and are made with British cream in small batches to ensure quality.
